Abstract:
1. A video decoding method comprising: receiving information encoding a video frame; deciding whether said video frame is an intentionally skipped video frame based on one or more dynamic frame skipping criteria, said information comprising motion vectors encoding blocks of the video frame and further information specifying one or more interpolation techniques to assist in interpolation of one or more video blocks within said video frame if said video frame is an intentionally skipped video frame; and applying the information to interpolate said one or more video blocks of the intentionally skipped video frame using said one or more interpolation techniques, wherein said one or more interpolation techniques include one or more motion calculations using one or more forward motion vectors and one or more backward motion vectors, wherein said one or more forward motion vectors are included in the information for the intentionally skipped video frame, and wherein said one or more backward motion vectors are not included in the information for the intentionally skipped video frame but are included in information for a predictive video frame received subsequent to the intentionally skipped video frame.
