Motion Compensation is a technique used in video processing to reduce the effects of motion blur and improve image quality. It works by analyzing the movement of objects within a video frame and adjusting the subsequent frames accordingly. This helps create smoother transitions and clearer images, especially in fast-moving scenes. In the context of television broadcasting and video compression, motion compensation allows for more efficient data storage and transmission. By only recording the changes between frames rather than each frame in full, it reduces the amount of data needed, making it easier to stream or store high-quality video content.
