A METHOD A DECODER AND ENCODER FOR PROCESSING A MOTION VECTOR

摘要

A method executed in the decoder is provided for determining the resolution of a motion vector specifying a reference block on the basis of the smoothness of pixels in a block, the position of this block being an approximation of the position of the reference block. If the block is considered smooth a first resolution will be accurate, while if the block is considered to be non-smooth, one or more refinement bits will be expected for adaptation at the decoder. A method executed in an encoder, capable of providing pictures to a decoder is also provided, as well as a decoder and encoder configured to execute the described methods.
