Method and apparatus for the efficient representation of interpolated video frames for motion-compensated coding

摘要

An efficient representation of an interpolated video frame when used with Single-Instruction-Multiple-Data processors implementing motion-compensated coding. The pixel data of a half-pixel interpolated video frame is stored in memory so that the full-pixels of the original image are stored in a first set of contiguous memory locations; the half-pixels interpolated between horizontally adjacent full-pixels are stored in a second set of contiguous memory locations; the half-pixels interpolated between vertically adjacent full-pixels are stored in a third set of contiguous memory locations; and the half-pixels interpolated between diagonally adjacent full-pixels are stored in a fourth set of contiguous memory locations.
