Asymmetric Bilateral Motion Estimation for Video Frame Interpolation

15 Aug 2021ICCV 2021 10arXiv:2108.06815archive 2025-07-28

Junheum Park, Chul Lee, Chang-Su Kim

We propose a novel video frame interpolation algorithm based on asymmetric bilateral motion estimation (ABME), which synthesizes an intermediate frame between two input frames. First, we predict symmetric bilateral motion fields to interpolate an anchor frame. Second, we estimate asymmetric bilateral motions fields from the anchor frame to the input frames. Third, we use the asymmetric fields to warp the input frames backward and reconstruct the intermediate frame. Last, to refine the intermediate frame, we develop a new synthesis network that generates a set of dynamic filters and a residual frame using local and global information. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves excellent performance on various datasets. The source codes and pretrained models are available at https://github.com/JunHeum/ABME.

Code

Syntology Ran 2 of 13 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 11 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · our draft was wrong; 1 ran with no contract checked.

By repository: official repository: 13 samples from 1 repository, 2 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Licence: 0 of the 13 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from JunHeum/ABME. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
