METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CODING AND DECODING A VIDEO SIGNAL

摘要

A method for encoding a video signal, a method for decoding a video signal, a data signal, a coder for coding a video signal adapted to execute said encoding method, a decoder for decoding a video signal being coded by use of said encoding method adapted to execute said decoding method, and a computer program for coding and/or decoding a video signal adapted to execute said encoding method and/or adapted to execute said decoding method, when run on a computer, are provided. A decoder-side motion estimation (DSME) frame is generated at the encoder and/or at the decoder. The DSME frame can either be used as an additional prediction mode for motion-compensated prediction or as a pure DSME frame fully generated at the decoder.
