Yes but it won't help you. These methods are for undoing telecined material. That is material that was originally 24 fps and was "telecined" into 30 fps. They will not work on your material. There are in ffmpeg at "pullup" and "fieldmatch." I think you are going in circles. 

ffmpeg cannot do what you want, unless someone adds this "optical flow" stuff, you are out of luck in using ffmpeg directly.
