Abstract

A method and an associated apparatus for determining a motion vector are disclosed. The method includes performing block matching for a first block where an interpolated block is located according to the first frame and the second frame to generate a first candidate motion vector of the interpolated block, performing block matching for a second block where the interpolated block is located according to the first frame and the second frame to generate a second candidate motion vector of the interpolated block, and determining a target motion vector of the interpolated block according to either of the first motion vector and the second candidate motion vector.
