A motion estimation/compensation scheme which is very effective for interlaced sequences with fast motion is presented. This field-based processing technique is MPEG-2 compliant and has lower memory and processing requirements than those of the standard bi-directional frame-based approach. For effective compression of different video sources, a novel temporal processing architecture is described which can switch in real-time between different MPEG-2 compliant field/frame processing modes.
