Adaptive motion vector re-sampling for fast fade and dissolve transitions on MPEG video

Fade and dissolve transitions are two of the most frequently used special effects in video non-linear editing (NLE). In this paper, we propose an adaptive motion vector re-sampling (AMVR) algorithm to achieve fast fade and dissolve transitions on MPEG video sequences. Experimental results show that our algorithm greatly reduces the computational complexity while keeping the quality of the reconstructed edited video in comparison with conventional motion vector re-sampling (MVR) algorithms.
