Abstract
For the determination of motion vectors, an aliasing-reducing interpolation filtration with a sub-pel precision is used in the motion-compensated prediction of moving image sequences. More adjacent pixels are accessed in this interpolation filtration than in known bilinear interpolation. Asymmetrical filtration or reflection of pixels inside a reference image block is used to assure that maximally, a block of the reference image containing (M+1)×(M+1) pixels for interpolation filtration is accessed. However this process requires less memory bandwidth in accessing reference images.
