Claim:
1. A method for processing an occlusion in a forward motion field of a second frame relative to a first frame, the method comprising: determining the forward motion field of the second frame relative to the first frame; identifying an area in the second frame that is occluded in the first frame; determining a corrected forward motion field of the second frame relative to the first frame by filling the forward motion field in the identified area in the second frame using motion vectors of a previous backward motion field of the second frame relative to a previous third frame; and applying a filter to the filled motion vectors, the filter being configured to consider a spatial neighborhood of a first map to account for spatial variation of the motion fields and a spatial neighborhood in a facing map, and to discard data of the occlusion to cope with acceleration.
