Abstract

A method of motion compensation within a displayable video stream using shared resources of a Graphics Processor Unit (GPU). Image data including a sequential series of image frames is recieved. Each frame includes any one or more: frame-type; image texture; and motion vector information. At least a current image frame in analysed, and the shared resources of the GPU are controlled to generate a motion compensated image frame corresponding to the current image frame, using one or more GPU commands.
