1. A method for robustly producing a motion compensated interpolation video frame, the method comprising:
constructing N motion compensated interpolated frames between two existing frames F1 and F2, wherein N comprises an integer with a value of at least 2; and
generating a final motion compensated interpolated frame by, for each pixel (x, y) in the final motion compensated interpolated
frame:
determining one corresponding pixel from each of the N motion compensated interpolated frames, for a total of N corresponding
pixels;
selecting one pixel of the N corresponding pixels; and
setting the pixel (x, y) to the selected pixel.
