ABSTRACT:
Techniques and tools for processing reference frames in a motion estimation/compensation loop or motion compensation loop are described. For example, a video encoder or decoder filters reference frames to reduce discontinuities at block boundaries, improving the efficiency of motion estimation and compensation.
