Summary: In this letter, we propose a new intra-field deinterlacing algorithm based on an edge dependent weighted filter (EDWF). The proposed algorithm consists of three steps: 1) calculating the gradients of three directions (45°, 90°, and 135°) in the local working window; 2) achieving the weights of the neighboring pixels by exploiting the edge information in the pixel gradients; 3) interpolating the missing pixel using the proposed EDWF interpolator. Compared with existing deinterlacing methods on different images and video sequences, the proposed algorithm improves the peak signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) while achieving better subjective quality.
