Deinterlacing Algorithm Based on Statistical Tests

The main reason for deinterlacing is frame-rate conversion. The other reason for deinterlacing is of course improve clarity and reduce flicker. Using a deinterlacer can help clarity and stability of the image. Many deinterlacing algorithms are available in image processing literatures such as ELA and E-ELA. This paper propose a new statistical deinterlacing algorithm based on statistical tests such as the Bartlett test, the Levene test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results obtained from the proposed algorithms are found to be comparable to those from many well-known deinterlacers. However, the results in the proposed deinterlacers are found to be more efficient than other deinterlacers.
