This paper presents a new motion estimation algorithm for the video coding, which combines the motion fuzzy prediction, our previous research, and modified four-step search algorithm (4SS) to reach faster and more correct searching results. Besides, its VLSI architecture is also proposed and implemented. With the analysis of the relationship between the consecutive search iterations, some of the searching operation are saved which enhance the computing efficiency and reduce power consumption. Experimental results demonstrate the higher performance in both PNSR and computation complexity then other motion estimation systems.
