I am capturing a ccd camera feed that is interlaced. I am having problems because in my end application, I need to be able to go frame by frame to analyze an object in motion. With the feed being interlaced, the object appears to be in two different positions. I need to be able to seperate the two fields so that make up the frame, but I have not been able to do so. When I split the fields, I just get two images with the same problem. I seems to me that there is some kind of intentional blurring that the camera is performing prior to transmitting the data to the computer since there are no distinct lines where even or odd horizonatal lines should be missing. How can I split the frames into their separate fields?
Many video editing programs offer the possibility to de-interlace your footage. Adobe Premiere for example has this option where you can choose between duplicating odd or even lines or interpolate between the odd or even lines.
