Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for providing reliable motion vectors, comprising the steps of determining motion vectors between two image frames with backward and forward estimation, comparing backward estimation motion vectors and forward estimation motion vectors, and detecting unreliable motion vectors based on the comparison result. The present invention further relates to a system for providing reliable motion vectors.
