Method and apparatus for improving temporal video signal processing using motion vectors transmitted with the video signal.

摘要

The invention describes an apparatus which aids in the motion processing of a video signal, comprising: a source of analog video signal representing a moving image; means, coupled to the source for processing the analog video signal to produce digital motion vectors indicating a direction of motion for areas of the image which exhibit motion from frame to frame; means for encoding the digital motion vectors into an analog signal; means for combining the analog signal representing the encoded motion vectors with the analog video signal provided by the source to generate an encoded video signal; receiver means for receiving the encoded video signal and for regenerating the moving image, said receiver means comprising: means for separating the encoded motion signal from the encoded video signal; means for decoding the encoded motion vectors to reproduce the digital motion vectors; motion compensated processing means for processing the video signal and the digital motion vectors to generate a processed video signal; and means for generating a displayed image from the processed video signal.
