In Multimedia Internet of Things (IoT), in order to reduce the bandwidth consumption of wireless channels, Motion-Compensated Frame Rate Up-Conversion (MC-FRUC) is often used to support the low-bitrate video communication. In this paper, we propose a spatial predictive algorithm which is used to improve the performance of MC-FRUC. The core of the proposed algorithm is a predictive model to split a frame into two kinds of blocks: basic blocks and absent blocks. Then an improved bilateral motion estimation is proposed to compute the Motion Vectors (MVs) of basic blocks. Finally, with the spatial correlation of Motion Vector Field (MVF), the MV of an absent block is predicted based on the MVs of its neighboring basic blocks. Experimental results show that the proposed spatial prediction algorithm can improve both the objective and the subjective quality of the interpolated frame, with a low computational complexity.

The most important part of frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) is block matching. The geometric properties of the image were not taken into consideration in traditional block matching algorithm, so the matching result of motion estimation cannot reach the optimal. A novel FRUC algorithm based on Bandelet was proposed in this paper. The algorithm includes: Firstly, a soft threshold Bandelet transform of matching block was performed. The optimal matching block was determined through detection of direction similarity and Bandelet coefficient similarity; secondly, vector median filtering (VMF) and overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC) were carried out by adopting motion vector to realize interpolated frame algorithm. Experimental results show that the FRUC algorithm based on Bandelet can further promote the quality of FRUC.
