Mode-dependent intra frame interpolation for H.264/AVC compressed video
In this paper, a mode-dependent intra frame interpolation method is proposed for H.264/AVC compressed video. The intra prediction mode information is taken into account in the interpolation filter design. For each intra prediction mode, an optimal Wiener filter is trained based on the representative video sequences. Therefore the trained filter is adaptive to the intra prediction mode. Furthermore, the quantization parameter is also explored as context information for filter selection. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance than the traditional methods such as Bicubic, Bilinear, LAZA and NEDI, while keeping low computational complexity.
