Motion Compensation - Motion Compensation in MPEG

Motion Compensation in MPEG

In MPEG, images are predicted from previous frames (P frames) or bidirectionally from previous and future frames (B frames). B frames are more complex because the image sequence must be transmitted/stored out of order so that the future frame is available to generate the B frames.

After predicting frames using motion compensation, the coder finds the error (residual) which is then compressed and transmitted.
