Claim One:
1. A method for filtering a motion-vector field, said method comprising: a) receiving, in a computing system, a current frame; b) receiving, in said computing system, a motion-vector field associated with said current frame, wherein each location in said motion-vector field corresponds to a location in said current frame; c) determining a weight value for each location in a region in said motion-vector field, wherein; i) said region is substantially centered at a window-center location; and ii) a weight value for a location in said region is based on a functional relation dependent on an absolute difference between an image value associated with said corresponding location in said current frame and an image value associated with said corresponding window-center location in said current frame; and d) filtering said motion-vector field at said window-center location using said weight values determined for each location in said region.
