  4. Motion Compensated Prediction (MCP) d(t) s‘(t-1) s(t) reference block block to code

  5. Motion Compensated Prediction (MCP) MCP with fractional-pel Motion Vector Resolution i Prediction is distorted by: 1. Aliasing in s(t) and s’(t-1) 2. Displacement estimation errors of d(t) 3. Quantisation errors in s’(t-1) 4. etc.  The distortions depend on the motion and content of the video signal j d(t) s’(t-1) s(t) reference block block to code  image signal on sub-pel positions has to be generated by interpolation

  6. 2D non-separable Adaptive Interpolation Filter • Analytical design of a non-separable adaptive 2D interpolation filter. • Goal: • Prediction (and not just interpolation) of picture elements by minimising prediction error energy. • Reduction of aliasing and blurring effects, motion estimation errors. • Properties: • Symmetric, non-separable 6x6-tap filter. • Filter coefficients are calculated analytically once per frame with respect to all reference frames.

  7. Adaptive Interpolation Filter • Value ( ) to be interpolated: where is an integer sample value ( ) and are filter coefficients for sub-pel position SP

  8. Analytical Calculation of Filter Coefficients The calculation of coefficients and the motion compensation are performed in the following 3 steps: • Displacement vectors are estimated for every image to be coded (standard interpolation filter is used). • Independent calculation of 2D filter coefficients for each sub-pel position by minimisation of the prediction error energy: with

  9. Analytical Calculation of Filter Coefficients • Estimation of new displacement vectors (applying the adaptive interpolation filter computed in 2). • Reducing motion estimation errors, caused by aliasing, camera noise etc. • Treating the problem in the rate-distortion sense. • The software was declared as a VCEG KTA-Software

  10. Quantisation and Coding of Filter Coefficients • Quantisation with 8 bits (magnitude). • Required side information for filter coefficients @30 fps ( [VCIP05] ):
