<p>An apparatus, for use in a motion-compensated video signal encoder, for determining a predicted current frame based on a current and a previous frame, includes: a feature point motion vector(MV) detector for detecting a first set of MVs for feature points and a second set of MVs for edge points in the previous frame; a quasi-point detector for detecting quasi-feature points and a third set of MVs therefor, and quasi-edge points and a fourth set of MVs therefor; a non quasi-point MV detector for determining a quasi-feature point range for each of the quasi-feature points by indexing each of non-quasi-points to its closest quasi-feature point, and detecting a distance between a quasi-feature point and each of the remaining pixels in a quasi-feature point range and setting the distance as a search radius for the remaining pixel, and determining one or more quasi-feature point ranges dispersed within the search radius from each of the remaining pixels, and detecting a fifth set of MVs for the remaining pixels, each of the fifth set of MVs being determined by averaging motion vectors of the quasi-feature points included in the one or more quasi-feature point ranges; and a motion compensator for compensating the previous frame with the third, fourth and fifth sets of MVs.</p> |
