% INTERPFIELDS  - Interpolates lines on a field extracted from a video frame.
%
% Function to interpolate intermediate lines on odd or even
% fields extracted from a video frame
%
% Usage:   intp = interpfields(field, oddeven);
%
%
% Arguments:   field - the field to be interpolated
%              oddeven - optional flag 1/0 indicating whether the field
%                        is formed from the odd rows (default is 1)
%
% Returns:     interp - an image with extra rows inserted. These rows are
%                       obtained by averaging the rows above and below.
%                       A future enhancement might be to use bicubic
%                       interpolation.

% May 2000   - original version
% March 2004 - modified to use bicubic interpolation and to work for
%              colour images
% August 2004 - Corrected No of rows to interpolate to avoid NaNs in the result
% August 2005 - Made compatible under Octave
