Contributions to interframe coding

Abstract: Advanced motion models (4 or 6 parameters) are needed for a good representation of the motion experimented by the different objects contained in a sequence of images. If the image is split in very small blocks, then an accurate description of complex movements can be achieved with only 2 parameters. This alternative implies a large set of vectors per image. We propose a new approach to reduce the number of vectors, using different block sizes as a function of the local characteristics of the image, without increasing the error accepted with the smallest blocks. A second algorithm is proposed for an inter/intraframe coder.
