There is no decomb or deinterlacing filter that does this. 

How you would do is deinterlace and optical flow. These are separate
operations

Motion vectors are required, otherwise - how else would you determine where
an object moves ? How else would you get the correct "mean" and position?  A
sobel operator looks at the current frame (or field). It's a spatial
operation. There is no relationship between the previous or next. Or if you
want, even scanlines are independent from odd scanlines.  The relationship
is the  motion vector.

Y and Y+1 are even and odd scanlines.  They are combed in the current frame
because they come from different points in time . T=0, T=1.

In this case, your "spatial mean"  is also  a "temporal mean" . eg. As an
object or pixel moves from position x=1 at T=0 to x=5 at T=1 in the next
field. The spatial mean is x=3 at T=0.5.  Instead of time T=0, T=1, you want
T=0.5, assuming linear interpolation. This is optical flow. The inbetween
point in time, and it's resulting data.
