Abstract

See full text

A decoder system having a motion compensation system that scales the processing of B pictures in order to save computational resources. The motion compensation system has a first scaling system that includes comparing a motion vector magnitude of each macroblock in a B picture with a predetermined threshold. A system for performing a routine decoding operation for each macroblock in which the motion vector magnitude is greater than the predetermined threshold and a system for copying a corresponding macroblock from a previous picture for each macroblock in which the motion vector magnitude is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold. A second scaling system that includes calculating an average motion vector magnitude for a first B picture and replacing a next contiguous B picture with the first B picture if the average motion vector magnitude is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
