Abstract
Taught herein are techniques to incorporate temporal motion vector prediction in encoding and decoding a video stream. Motion vectors are temporally predicted for blocks of a frame. An extrapolated position for at least one block of a first frame is predicted in a second frame using a respective motion vector of the at least one block. A temporal motion vector for a block of the second frame is calculated as a combination of respective motion vectors of blocks overlapping the block of the second frame if at least one of the overlapping blocks is an extrapolated block at the extrapolated position. The temporal motion vector is used in a motion estimation algorithm to select a motion vector for the block, and the block is encoded using the selected motion vector.
