Abstract
An embodiment of the invention relates to a method for processing the pixel amplitude of at least one block image pixel contained in a video sequence, the method comprising the steps of: constructing an individual motion trajectory comprising motion-shifted versions of said block image pixel over a multiplicity of neighboring frames; and combining the pixel amplitudes of the motion-shifted versions of said block image pixel along the individual motion trajectory using a weighting function, to form a processed pixel amplitude of said image pixel.
