Abstract:
1. A method comprising: analyzing a motion level of one or more candidate reference video units for interpolation or extrapolation of an additional video unit, wherein analyzing the motion level comprises counting a number of zero value motion vectors in at least one of the candidate reference video units; monitoring a resource level of a device including a coding unit for interpolation or extrapolation of the additional video unit; determining the resource level of the device including the coding unit for interpolation or extrapolation of the additional video unit; and selectively enabling and disabling, with the coding unit, interpolation or extrapolation of the additional video unit based on the motion level and the resource level, wherein selectively enabling and disabling comprises enabling interpolation or extrapolation when the number of zero value motion vectors is below a threshold, and disabling interpolation or extrapolation when the number of zero value motion vectors is above the threshold.
