Fast adaptive interpolation filter algorithm for bi-predicted frame in video coding

This paper proposes a novel adaptive interpolation filter (AIF) to reduce computational complexity and bit-rate of video coding. In the proposed AIF, the filter coefficients of B frames, which are predicted from those of adjacent P frames with a novel parabolic model, are unnecessary to transmit. Experimental results show that the coding complexity is reduced by 40.22% with no penalty on coding efficiency and 1.59% bit rate reduction is achieved at low bit-rate against conventional AIF.
