Abstract
We have proposed a sequential color system for use as a video format. In this system, three color planes are used sequentially, a conversion to whole RGB picture with the interpolation of missing color plane is required. However, conventional motion estimation is not useful because of the changing of color plane by a frame. To respond this, we have proposed the motion estimation method using the contour picture. However, the difference between the contour of different color is not small in high color picture. In this paper, we propose the normalizing processing for contour picture by area level. The error reduction processing for motion vector is also applied. As results of experiments, it is recognized that PSNR and subjective picture quality of motion compensated picture is improved significantly.
