A system or a method comprising comparing two video images and producing a similarity, or differential, value that is used to indicate whether the two video images are either similar or different. An index value is assigned to a current video image being processed based on the similarity, or differential, value. The system or method further determines how to process the current video image based on whether the assigned index value comprises an even or an odd number. The current video image is combined, merged, or scaled with the immediately preceding or following video image based on the assigned index value being an even number or an odd number. The system or method generates at least one output video image that is at least twice the resolution of the current video image being processed.
