Patent ID: 8416993

Claim:
An accurate motion map generating apparatus operable to receive and process input data comprising a motion map and to output a final motion map, wherein said motion map identifies the non-movement and the movement of pixels between at least two successive images, comprising a processing-segmentation device operable to receive and process said input data and output a first signal M 1 , a second signal M 2 and a third signal M 3 , wherein said signals M 1 , M 2 and M 3 are feature maps, respectively, which base on said input data and describe characteristics between the at least two successive images, said first signal M 1 describing static edges, said second signal M 2 describing moving edges, and said third signal M 3 describing moving flat areas; and a combination-logic device operable to receive and process said first signal M 1 , said second signal M 2 and said third signal M 3 and to output said final motion map, wherein said final motion map is based on said signals M 1 , M 2 and M 3 .
