Motion Estimation for Image Sequences

Resource Overview

Performing motion estimation on image sequences followed by motion compensation

Detailed Documentation

When processing image sequences, we first perform motion estimation by analyzing and comparing successive frames to determine motion information within the images. This typically involves implementing algorithms like block matching, optical flow, or phase correlation to calculate displacement vectors between frames. Following motion estimation, we apply motion compensation techniques using the obtained motion vectors to eliminate or reduce blurring and distortion caused by object movement. These processing steps enable effective handling of image sequences, significantly improving image quality and accuracy through techniques such as frame interpolation, stabilization, and enhanced compression efficiency.
