Algorithm allows to double frame rate (fps) of the video stream. This conversion is performed by calculating and inserting the new frames in the stream.
Frame rate conversion is done as shown on the picture below:
Frame rate conversion scheme
The main advantages of our method are:
This is achieved by construction of compensated frames with quarter pixel accuracy. Such high accuracy is obtained by using of bilinear and bicubic interpolation. Second advantage means that interpolated frames have the same sharpness as the original ones. Note that such the feature is not common for the majority of methods of this kind.
Here we present a results of comparison of described (MSU), Frame Repetition (FR) and Linear Interpolation (LI) methods on "akiyo" sequence. Results include PSNR metric visualization of interpolated frames in comparison to original ones on the right side. Following is the color semantics on these images: red color - high difference region, this difference is visually noticeable; yellow - little less than previous difference; green and blue - almost unnoticeable difference; black - no difference.
Visual comparison of FRC methods
Quality comparison of MSU, LI and FR methods is shown at the graphs below. In vertical direction there is PSNR quality level of interpolated frames in comparison to original ones (the higher values of metric means the higher quality of interpolated frames), in horizontal direction interpolated frame numbers are marked.

We compared our FRC implementation with UCSD one. On the pictures below it is easy to see the sharpness difference on frames, which were calculated by increasing FPS four times:
