Abstract

Common motion compensated hybrid video coding standards such as H.263, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 are based on a fractional-pel displacement vector (DV) resolution of 1/2-pel. Recent approaches like MPEG-4 (ACE-profile) and H.26L use higher DV resolutions of 1/4-pel and 1/8-pel. In order to estimate and compensate fractional-pel displacements, the image signal has to be interpolated. Especially for higher DV resolutions an efficient interpolation filter is necessary. Thus, in MPEG-4 (ACE-profile) and H.26L 6 or 8-tap Wiener interpolation filters are applied. These Wiener filters were designed to interpolate the image signal while reducing spacial aliasing components that deteriorate the motion compensated prediction. In we presented an improved interpolation filter that allows to interpolate an aliasing affected image more accurate then the conventional Wiener filter. This filter is a combination of the Wiener filter and a motion compensated interpolation filter. Up to now these filters are based on invariant filter coefficients. The same coefficients are applied for all sequences and for all images of a sequence. In we presented an adaptive interpolation filter that improves the coding efficiency by reducing the impact of displacement estimation errors and by compensating the aliasing components. The interpolation scheme of is based on filter coefficients that are adapted once per frame to the non-stationary statistical features of the sequence. This paper introduces a motion compensated adaptive interpolation filter that combines the frame-adaptive approach of and the motion compensated interpolation approach of. Due to the motion compensated adaptive interpolation filter, the coding efficiency of an H.26L codec is improved up to 0.8 dB.
