Claim Text:
1. A method for processing pixel amplitude of a block image pixel contained in a video sequence, the method comprising the steps of: constructing an individual motion trajectory comprising motion-shifted versions of the block image pixel over a multiplicity of neighboring frames; and combining pixel amplitudes of the motion-shifted versions of the block image pixel along the individual motion trajectory using a weighting function, to form a processed pixel amplitude of the image pixel; generating a video data bit stream that describes the video sequence; adding a stop marker to the video data bit stream that describes individual length of the individual motion trajectory, wherein a marker adder is used that is capable of adding a plurality of stop markers, wherein one stop marker is added for one of the processed pixels, the individual stop marker describing the individual length of the individual motion trajectory of the pixel; constructing at least two individual motion trajectories, the at least two individual motion trajectories differing in length and referring to motion-shifted versions of at least two different image pixels contained in the same block; combining pixel amplitudes of the motion-shifted versions of each of the at least two different image pixels along their individual motion trajectories using a weighting function, to form at least two processed pixel amplitudes of the at least two different image pixels; and including the at least two processed pixel amplitudes in the video sequence.
