Ghost frames, alternatively referred to as phantom frames or interpolated frames, are synthetic frames inserted into a video sequence. Their purpose is to elevate the frame rate and enhance the smoothness of motion, often to satisfy the specifications of specific display devices or to align with the frame rate of another video.
In the realm of computer vision, ghost frames are generated through algorithms that meticulously analyze the motion of objects within a video. These algorithms predict the movement of objects between consecutive actual frames, using these predictions to create new frames that seamlessly blend with the surrounding ones, giving the impression that they were captured in real-time alongside the original frames.
