Video encoding methods save motion vector fields locally in a buffer to predict the following frames, thus reducing the size of the error pattern that is needed to decode the frames. If several pixel blocks have identical motion vectors, it is sufficient to save only one of these pixel blocks. The presented method reduces the amount of data, by using a model with 8 parameters of a higher order.
