Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for processing motion vectors such that the resulting motion vectors better correlate with the true motion of a video frame. In one example, the techniques may include comparing a block motion vector corresponding to a video block to a sub-block motion vector corresponding to a sub-block contained within the video block. The techniques may further include selecting one of the block motion vector and the sub-block motion vector as a spatially-estimated motion vector for the sub-block based on the comparison. Motion vectors that better correlate with true motion may be useful in applications such as motion compensated frame interpolation (MCI), moving object tracking, error concealment, or other video post-processing that requires the true motion information.
