Future Work


For the rest of the semester, we will mostly be concerned with developing new frame interpolation algorithms. We will concentrate on low bit-rate video sequences designed to be transmitted over the internet. The following are a list of techniques we intend to implement and expand upon:

  • Implement MCFI using an active mesh with deformable triangular blocks.
  • Instead of assuming linear motion between adjacent frames, develop alternative motion models based on 2nd and 3rd order polynomials, Bezier curves, etc.
  • Develop software to display video sequences at a specified frame rate, based on video player code already written, implementing real-time player using DirectX for Windows technology.
