1. A method of interpolating a new frame between a previous frame and a current frame of a video stream comprising:

  • classifying pixels of the previous frame and the current frame according to whether a pixel'"'"'s value has changed from the previous frame to the current frame;

    identifying nodes and edges of triangles present in the previous frame;

    constructing a superimposed triangular mesh of the previous frame from the identified nodes and edges using constrained Delaunay triangulation to preserve edge segments;

    estimating displacement of nodes in the superimposed triangular mesh from the previous frame to the current frame; and

    rendering the new frame based on the estimated displacement of nodes.
