Multi-Level Motion Estimation Algorithm Using Motion Information in Blocks
Heak Bong Kwon · Journal of Korea Multimedia Society · 2003
In this paper, we propose a multi-level block matching algorithm using motion information in blocks. In the proposed algorithm, the block-level is decided by the motion degree in the block before motion searching procedure, and then adequate motion searching performs according to the block-level. This improves computational efficiency by eliminating the unnecessary searching Process in no motion or low motion regions, and brings more accurate estimation results by deepening motion searching Process in high motion regions. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm brings the lower estimation error about 20％ MSE reduction with the fewer blocks pet frame and the operation number was reduced to 56% compared to TSSA and 98% compared to FS -BMA with constant block size.
