Abstract: A method and system for constructing at least one intermediate frame of an image between first and second frames in a system such as a wired or wireless telephone network. The system identifies a plurality of points having at least one related characteristic in at least one of the first and second frames. The system determines if at least one of the plurality of points has changed its position between the first frame and the second frame. The system associates the at least one of the plurality of points that has changed its position with at least a first pixel in the first frame and a second pixel in the second frame. The system determines a relationship between a position of the first pixel and a position of the second pixel.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for creating intermediate image frames based on two or more successive captured image frames for transmission over a limited bandwidth medium, such as a telephone line. The intermediate image frames are constructed based on pixel information of portions that did change between two consecutive frames. The intermediate frames are constructed without the necessity of creating portions of the successive image frames that did not move or change. The created intermediate frames may be combined with originally captured frames to convey live video information to a user.
