Abstract
A method and device for processing video signals is provided, comprising the steps of: selecting a motion vector having the least mean square error from an M×N block, applying a vector filter to the motion vector, and if filter output MSE is below a present threshold select the filtered motion vector as output filter, and if above the threshold, select input vector as output filter. Perform a P×Q nearest neighbor motion vector substitution on the output motion vector field, where P is less than M and Q is less than N. Perform an S×T nearest neighbor substitution on the output motion vector field, where S is less than P and T is less than Q.
