Abstract: Interpolation of a new frame between a previous frame and a current frame of a video stream by motion compensated frame rate upsampling. The interpolation method includes identifying nodes and edges of objects such as triangles present in the previous frame, constructing a superimposed triangular mesh based on the identified nodes and edges, estimating displacement such nodes in the superimposed triangular mesh from the previous frame with respect to the current frame, and rendering the new frame based on the estimated displacement of nodes. Additionally, pixels of the previous frame and the current frame may be classified according to whether a pixel's value has changed from the previous frame to the current frame. This classification may be used during rendering to reduce overall processing time. Pixel-based forward motion estimation may be used to estimate motion of pixels between the previous frame and the current frame and the estimated motion may be used in estimating node displacement.

Abstract: At least one region of each video frame is designated for intra encoding. One or more regions of each video frame are designated for inter encoding. One or more motion vectors are selected for each region designated for inter encoding, wherein at least one motion vector is a non-zero motion vector. The plurality of video frames are encoded in accordance with the designation of regions for intra encoding, the designation of regions for inter encoding, and the selection of motion vectors, wherein the designation of regions for intra encoding and the selection of motion vectors are adapted to ensure error recovery during decoding of the encoded video frames.
