1. An adaptive motion compensated interpolating method comprising: estimating motion vectors (MV) by performing block-based motion estimation (ME) between adjacent frames with a motion estimation apparatus; calculating gradients of the estimated MVs with a gradient calculation apparatus; classifying pixels of each of the adjacent frames into a plurality of image regions according to the gradients of the estimated MVs and estimating the image region to which the pixels belong with an image classifier apparatus; and determining pixel values to be obtained by interpolation between the adjacent frames by adaptively selecting pixels of the adjacent frames and the MVs estimated between the adjacent frames according to each classified image region with a motion compensated interpolation apparatus.
