Adaptive Frame Interpolation for Wyner-Ziv Coding

This paper addresses the problem of frame interpolation for Wyner-Ziv video coding. A novel frame interpolation method based on block-adaptive matching algorithm for motion estimation is presented. This scheme enables block size adaptation to local activity within frames using block merging and splitting techniques. The efficiency of the proposed method is evaluated in a Wyner-Ziv video coding scheme. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over existing frame interpolation techniques.
