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:

    subways, rivered under streets
    and rivers . . . in the car
    the overtone of motion
    underground, the monotone
    of motion is the sound
    of other faces, also underground—
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    ... the compensation for a death sentence is knowledge of the exact hour when one is to die. A great luxury, but one that is well earned.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
