Motion compensation is a powerful tool used in the compression of video. While much work has been done on various techniques of progressive motion compensation, interlaced motion compensation has not been considered in as much detail. This paper proposes several new techniques of interlaced motion compensation using multiple fields, the de-interlacing interpolation. A novel technique, hybrid motion compensation, is presented that uses linear combination of previous fields to construct better block matches. In addition, the effects of several different interpolation techniques including spatial and Bayesian motion estimation, are considered.
