Method and device for image interpolation systems using motion estimation and compensation

摘要

The method involves generating candidate motion vectors based on spatial/temporal motion vectors associated to pixel blocks. A penalty is determined based on pixel values of blocks in a preceding or succeeding origin images. A motion vector is selected from the candidate motion vectors based on errors and penalty calculated for the candidate motion vectors. Information associating the selected vector with the current block is stored. The spatial motion vectors are associated to the pixel blocks of an image that is being processed currently and the temporal motion vectors are associated to the pixel blocks of an image that is already processed. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a device of estimating motion of pixel blocks for processing images (B) a computer program product having codes for executing a method of estimating movement of pixel blocks.
