In this paper we will propose a new denterlacing method which uses a scene change detection technique. The proposed method first performs scene cut detection on interlaced video sequences. If a scene cut is detected between the current field and the reference field, we suggest reducing the interpolation error caused by incorrect motion compensation. On the other hand, if no scene cut is detected, motion detection is performed on the current field. The motion detection based on block variance classifies a block of the current field into one of the three groups, namely: static, semi static and non-static.
