Abstract:
1. An image encoding method, characterised by the following steps: selecting two images, split by series of at least one image that has to be undersampled; coding the images delimiting said series of images through a first image encoding, optimizing significantly a photometric representation of an image said first image encoding implementing a transformation on image blocks and a temporal prediction by blocks; coding each image of the series of images through a second image encoding optimizing a representation of motion between at least two images, said second encoding taking into account of at least one of: said second encoding relying on the implementation of a mesh made up of nodes enabling to detect non predictable areas in the series of images, such that: so that each image is coded according to only one encoding mode, and wherein said second encoding implements a forward motion estimation, between an image I
