Digital image rate converting method and device
First Claim
1. A digital signal converting method for converting a series of input images at an input image rate I into a series of output images at an output image rate O=M*I, where M is an integer greater than one, each input image being formed by a series of a fixed number K of input data frames, where K=P*M, K and P being integers greater than one, said method comprising:
- storing input data frames either individually or as combinations of C input data frames each, where C is an integer that is less than or equal to P,calculating a sliding average over K stored individual data frames or K/C stored data frame combinations, andsuccessively deriving said averages to produce the output images with a timing fixed by the output image rate O.

Abstract
A digital signal converting method and device for converting an input image rate into an output image rate, is applied to input images which are formed by a plurality of input data frames. The method storing the input frames, calculating a sliding average over a plurality of stored frames, and deriving the averages for producing output images with a timing fixed by the output image rate.
