Claim Text:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a patch generator for generating, from an input video sequence, one or more high resolution replacement patches, the one or more high resolution replacement patches for replacing one or more low resolution patches during a reconstruction of the input video sequence, wherein said patch generator generates the one or more high resolution replacement patches through a clustering process on patches extracted from the input video sequence followed by averaging corresponding extended patches from the input video sequence, the extended patches being those extracted patches from the input video sequence with an additional boundary extension and being of a larger size than patches extracted from the input video sequence, and the high resolution replacement patches being larger than the one or more low resolution patches a patch size of the one or more low resolution patches in order to be suitable for use in the patch spatial shifting process and wherein the patch generator uses a patch spatial shifting process that uses a portion of the extended patches having minimum Euclidean distance when shifted between the corresponding portion of the extended patches and the low resolution patches.
