In this paper, the impact of a refinement of motion vectors (MV) on the performance of a block-DCT based video coder (H.263) is addressed. Postprocessing is accomplished by exploiting both the spatial correlation of the vector field and the confidence of the estimated block vectors. A recently proposed adaptive scheme for MV smoothing, based on the theory of vector median filters, is adjusted and embedded into an H.263 video coder. With a bit stream that is perfectly compatible with an H.263 decoder, results are improved, especially for very low bit rates and complex motion of the scene.

Abstract
In this paper, the impact of a refinement of motion vectors (MV) on the performance of a block-DCT based video coder (H.263) is addressed. Postprocessing is accomplished by exploiting both the spatial correlation of the vector field and the confidence of the estimated block vectors. A recently proposed adaptive scheme for MV smoothing, based on the theory of vector median filters, is adjusted and embedded into an H.263 video coder. With a bit stream that is perfectly compatible with an H.263 decoder, results are improved, especially for very low bit rates and complex motion of the scene.File in questo prodotto:
