Abstract

Methods and systems for enhancing motion estimation are disclosed for stereoscopic video sequences. The motion vector parameters and disparity values for consecutive frames may be calculated to estimate motion in a coherent manner between two channels, such as a left channel and a right channel in stereoscopic images. Occlusion handling is also applied to improve the estimation.
