A de-interlacing methodology generates frames from interlaced video signals by incorporating data from multiple fields into an interpolation-based de-interlacing process. Pixels directly above and below a blank pixel location and pixels immediately before and after the blank pixel location (in the fields immediately preceding and following, respectively, the blank pixel field) can be used to interpolate a pixel value for the blank pixel location. The use of pixel data from multiple fields improves the resolution of the interpolation process, thereby improving output frame accuracy. Adjacent pixel values can also be adjusted to further improve the consistency of the visual display provided by the output frames.

By adding stabilization and super-sampling to a digital pixel readout integrated circuit (ROIC), line of sight motion, that is usually costly and difficult to control, instead becomes an ally, doubling the effective FPA resolution in some systems. The base repartitioned digital pixel architecture supplements analog signal accumulation with off-pixel digital accumulation, greatly increasing dynamic range. Adding address mapping and increasing the ratio of memory locations to pixels, enables stabilization and resolution enhancement. Additional stabilization at sub-frame intervals limits the effect of latency and simplifies complex address mapping. Pixels gains are compensated in-ROIC, without requiring multipliers. A unique partitioning of functions between the ROIC and subsequent logic allows pixel biases and non-isomorphic sampling effects to be compensated off-ROIC, reducing overall system complexity and power.
