Abstract
A method for determining values of motion vectors includes receiving an irregular pattern of motion vectors for a target image, estimating an initial value for each of the motion vectors, using the motion vectors to generate a tap structure for an adaptive temporal prediction filter, and using the tap structure to re-estimate the value of each motion vector.
