ABSTRACT:
Visibie artifacts in images created using image processing based on motion vector maps may be reduced by providing one or more mechanisms for correcting the vector map. In general, the set of motion vectors is changed by selecting one or more portions of the image. The vectors corresponding to the selected one or more portions are modified. Various image processing operations, such as motion compensated interpolation, may be performed using the changed set of motion vectors.
