Abstract:
A method of synthesizing a predicted image relative to an original image of current frame, comprising the steps of:dividing said original image into a plurality of blocks;synthesizing a plurality of LMC block images for each block of said original image by local motion compensation;synthesizing a plurality of G-LMC block images for each block of said original image by global-local motion compensation;performing, for each block of said original image, an averaging process between said LMC block image and said G-LMC block image synthesized for each block of said original image, and synthesizing a plurality of average block images for each block of said original images;selecting one block image from said LMC block image, said G-LMC block image and said average block image synthesized for each block of said original image; andsynthesizing said predicted image by collecting said block images selected for each block of said original image.
