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.

Famous quotes containing the words motion and/or compensation:

    till disproportion’d sin
    Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
    Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
    To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
    In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
    In first obedience, and their state of good.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    The compensation of a very early success is a conviction that life is a romantic matter. In the best sense one stays young.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
