Abstract

A motion vector for a current block of a current frame is decoded from a compressed bitstream. A location of a reference block within an un-generated reference frame is identified. The reference block is generated using a forward reference frame and a backward reference frame without generating the un-generated reference frame. The reference block is generated by identifying an extended reference block by extending the reference block at each boundary of the reference block by a number of pixels related to a filter length of a filter used in sub-pixel interpolation; and generating pixel values of only the extended reference block by performing a projection using the forward reference frame and the backward reference frame without generating the whole of the un-generated reference frame. The current block is then decoded based on the reference block and the motion vector.
