Claim One:
1. A method for determining motion vectors that are coordinated with individual image regions of an image, comprising: dividing the image into a number of first main blocks using a first block raster and performing a first estimation process to provide a motion vector for each of the first main blocks; dividing the image into a number of second main blocks using a second block raster, a position of the second block raster being shifted relative to a position of the first block raster, and performing a second estimation process to provide a motion vector for each of the second main blocks; forming a number of subblocks, each of the subblocks being formed by an overlap region between one of the first main blocks and at least one of the second main blocks; and generating a motion vector for each subblock, the motion vector for each subblock being dependent upon the motion vectors (of the first and second main blocks, each of the generated motion vectors for the subblocks being coordinated with the particular subblock.
