Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards image processing circuitry that applies temporal filtering to video image data along motion trajectories in the video image data. The temporal filtering may be applied along motion trajectories in the image data, by filtering source pixels by reference pixel values and the refined motion vectors. The temporal filtering circuitry may fetch source and reference pixel values based on received motion vectors from an encoding pipeline. Additionally, the temporal filtering circuitry may include a motion vector refinement block along with a temporal filtering block, such that the video image data may be filtered based on refined motion vectors and source and reference pixel values.
