Abstract:
In an embodiment of a method for converting an input video sequence, comprising digital images organized in frames and operating at a variable frame-rate, into an output video sequence, operating at a pre-set constant frame-rate, it is envisaged to store the input video sequence temporarily and to control fetching of images of said temporarily stored input video sequence.The method moreover envisages: controlling fetching of images from the temporarily stored input video sequence by adjusting an emptying rate to form an intermediate video sequence; and carrying out an operation of motion-compensated interpolation on the intermediate video sequence to form the output video sequence operating at a pre-set constant frame-rate, the emptying rate being adjusted as a function of a number of images of the input video sequence with variable frame-rate temporarily stored. An application is in the reproduction of video sequences in mobile terminals, with the capacity of audio-video conversation, for example for videoconferences.
