BMBC:Bilateral Motion Estimation with Bilateral Cost Volume for Video Interpolation

Video interpolation increases the temporal resolution of a video sequence by synthesizing intermediate frames between two consecutive frames. We propose a novel deep-learning-based video interpolation algorithm based on bilateral motion estimation. First, we develop the bilateral motion network with the bilateral cost volume to estimate bilateral motions accurately. Then, we approximate bi-directional motions to predict a different kind of bilateral motions. We then warp the two input frames using the estimated bilateral motions. Next, we develop the dynamic filter generation network to yield dynamic blending filters. Finally, we combine the warped frames using the dynamic blending filters to generate intermediate frames. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art video interpolation algorithms on several benchmark datasets.

Code

Syntology Ran 3 of 7 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 4 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 1 ran · honoured contract; 1 ran · fixture could not drive it; 1 ran with no contract checked.

By repository: official repository: 7 samples from 1 repository, 3 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.

Harvested from JunHeum/BMBC. “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.
