Abstract

The purpose of image sequence coding is to reduce the spatio-temporal redundancies. For the spatial redundancies, we can use the transform coding such as DCT. In this paper, the optical flow method is applied to solve the problem of temporal redundancies. There are several estimation methods like block matching method and pel-recursive method. Block matching method is easy for a hardware implementation because of the computational simplicity. So, it is now used as the estimation method in MPEG-l, MPEG-2, and H.261. We compared the merits and demerits of the optical flow method and the block matching method in this paper.
