Abstract
Reference frames are selected for use in a frame reference buffer in a video encoding system, so as to provide long term prediction of motion in video sequences. Candidate reference frames are characterized by characteristic vectors. From the candidate reference frames, a number of reference frames are maintained in the frame buffer so as to obtain a specified distribution of the characteristic vectors over a vector space. Frames are selected for use in encoding a current frame based on the characteristic vector of the current frame and the reference frames in the frame buffer.
