A fast block-based motion compensation video frame interpolation

Skipped video frame reconstruction has been investigated under the limit of network bandwidth and media storage capability. One scenario is video conferencing, where frames are skipped to meet the transmission bandwidth which ends up with a jerky sequence. In this paper, the authors propose a new motion compensated frame rate up-conversion algorithm. Unlike the conventional approaches, the proposed technique investigates the quality and complexity tradeoff of a modified block based motion-compensated interpolation scheme. The time complexities are measured with respect to the quality of reconstructed video sequences by changing various thresholds. Empirical results demonstrate superiority of the proposed improvement.
