In this paper, a new frame rate up-conversion (FRC) using Backward Multiple Reference Frame Motion (BMRF) compensated interpolation (MCI) algorithm is proposed. The BMRF algorithm has been compared with two most common MCI methods, Temporal Linear (TLIN) and Bidirectional MCI (BID) used in FRC, in the aspect of PSNR, perceptual quality, and computational complexity. The simulation results clearly showed that BMRF presented a trade-off solution between computation and interpolation quality. By using simple weighted frame interpolation between multiple frames, it reduced computation rapidly while keeping similar interpolation quality when compared to the BID method. The simplicity of the BMRF algorithm made it suitable for either software or hardware implementation essential for real-time FRC applications.

Frame interpolation, which generates an intermediate frame given adjacent ones, finds various applications such as frame rate up-conversion, video compression, and video streaming. Instead of using complex network models and additional data involved in the state-of-the-art frame interpolation methods, this paper proposes an approach based on an end-to-end generative adversarial network. A combined loss function is employed, which jointly considers the adversarial loss (difference between data models), reconstruction loss, and motion blur degradation. The objective image quality metric values reach a PSNR of 29.22 dB and SSIM of 0.835 on the UCF101 dataset, similar to those of the state-of-the-art approach. The good visual quality is notably achieved by approximately one-fifth computational time, which entails possible real-time frame rate up-conversion. The interpolated output can be further improved by a GAN based refinement network that better maintains motion and color by image-to-image translation.
