Definition
Motion compensation has been used widely in video compression, because of its abilities to exploit high temporal correlation between successive frames of an image sequence.
Introduction
Video compression [1–4] plays an important role in modern multimedia applications. Inside digitized video, there is a considerable amount of redundancy and compression can be achieved by exploiting such redundancies. The redundancy of video data is generally divided into two classes: statistical redundancy and subjective redundancy. For statistical redundancy, it can be derived from the highly correlated video information both spatially and temporally. For example, adjacent picture elements of a television picture are almost alike and successive pictures often have small changes. Thus the differences among these similar elements are small, and hence the average bit-rate of video data can be saved by sending the differences of these similar...
