Abstract
A video coding system for coding a sequence of video frames each having an array of pixel values is provided. The system includes an interpolation filter to reconstruct sub-pixel values for use in the inter-frame prediction process. The coefficients of an interpolation filter are obtained differentially with respect to a predefined base filter in order to provide a set of difference values. As the base filter coefficients are known to both encoder and decoder and they are statistically close to the actual filters used in the video sequence, the decoder can reconstruct the pixel values based on the set of difference values.

Motion vector estimation in television images

TL;DR: In this article, an approach for motion vector estimation in a television image using a digitized signal representing the image, comprises a vector filter (36) and a vector calculator (37) for determining motion in the image at points spaced a predetermined number of pixels horizontally and vertically by a block matching technique, thereby to derive motion vectors.

An adaptive coding method for interlaced scan digital video sequences

TL;DR: In this paper, an input picture is partitioned into smaller blocks of pixel data, where the two fields in each blocks are rexamined for correlation, and then the block is coded with a field coding method where more emphasis is made on exploring correlation within each field (intra-field) and correlation of each field and its neighboring fields (inter-field).
