Title: Video encoding and decoding using forward and backward motion vectors to conceal decoding errors
Inventor: GHANBARI MOHAMMED
IPC: H04N19/895
Filed: 2000-11-27
Abstract: A decoder for video signals, such as MPEG, which use motion-compensated bidirectional predictive coding performs concealment of lost or corrupted portions of a picture. For this purpose it estimates missing motion vectors by combining the two vectors which accompany a bidirectional coded frame to create a substitute vector. An encoder can be modified to enhance this de-coder operation, including forcing at least one frame per group of frames to be coded using bidirectional prediction, and constraining the two vectors so that the substitute vector is closer to the wanted value.
