A system, article, and method of adjusting video quality based on viewer distance to a display

A system including a motion adaptive de-interlacer, a film mode detector, and a combiner. The motion adaptive de-interlacer is configured to determine a first output by de-interlacing a plurality of interlaced frames based on at least a first motion indicator indicating motion between fields of the plurality of interlaced frames. The film mode detector is configured to determine a second output based on a film mode detected based on at least a second motion indicator indicating motion between fields of the plurality of interlaced frames. The film mode detector is further configured to output a control signal based on the second motion indicator and the film mode. The combiner is configured to combine the first output and the second output based on the control signal.

Methods and systems are herein provided for judder adjustment. In one example, a system comprises a display device configured to display scenes of a major motion picture and a user interface; and a computing device including a processor communicatively coupled to the display device, wherein the computing device is configured to execute instructions stored in non-transitory memory that, when executed cause the processor to obtain and display a scene within the user interface, interpolate frames for one or more of a plurality of input frames of the scene based on a selected judder angle, wherein the selected judder angle is selected via an adjustable dial of the user interface; and display the scene with a perceived judder resulting from the interpolated frames.

An apparatus and method for converting a frame rate, the method including: receiving a first video signal; extracting target frames corresponding to the first video signal, wherein the target frames include same content as original signal frames corresponding to the first video signal; generating a second video signal from the target frame; and performing a Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation (MEMC) process on the second video signal.

An upstream video processor may perform video processing upon video data to created processed video data. The video processing may include at least one of color correction, contrast correction, gamma correction, sharpness enhancement, and edge enhancement. Metadata indicative of the performed video processing may also be generated. The processed video data and metadata may be passed to a downstream video processor, the latter for use in determining what further video processing, if any, to apply. An intermediate video processor may receive video data and metadata indicating video processing performed thereupon by an upstream video processor. Based on the received metadata, additional video processing may be performed, and new metadata indicating the additional video processing may be generated. Composite metadata may be generated from the received and new metadata and may be passed along with the processed video data to a downstream video processor for use in determining what further video processing, if any, to apply.

Methods and systems for controlling judder are disclosed. Judder can be introduced locally within a picture, to restore a judder feeling which is normally expected in films. Capture time and display time of frames can be manipulated to obtain a desired amount of judder. Frames can be interpolated to obtain a film with a higher frame rate and localized control of judder.

In one example, a system comprises a display device configured to display scenes of a video media and a user interface; and a computing device configured to determine a selected judder angle for a reference display scenario; adjust the selected judder angle for a target display scenario based on the one or more parameters of the scene for two or more regions, wherein the adjusted judder angle corresponds to a judder level of the target display scenario according to the one or more parameters; interpolate one or more frames into one or more of the plurality of input frames based on the adjusted judder angle; and save the scene with the interpolated one or more frames for the target display scenario to memory.
