1. A method for determining motion vectors which are assigned to individual image regions of an image, wherein the image is subdivided into a number of image blocks, and a motion estimation technique is implemented to assign at least one motion vector to each of the image blocks where a modified motion vector is generated for at least a first image block comprises the steps of: determining at least a second image block through which the motion vector assigned to the first image block at least partially passes; generating the modified motion vector as a function of a motion vector assigned to at least the second image block; assigning the modified motion vector as the motion vector to the first image block.
