An efficient motion estimation scheme with low complexity in Video Coding
Yoon Hyo-Sun, Miyoung Kim · 2015
To transmit and to store digital video sequences, compression is necessary. Motion Estimation (ME) Technique is used to redundant data in video sequences. ME which limits the performance of image quality, generated bitrates and encoding time requires huge complexity. To reduce the computational complexity, a Hierarchical motion estimation scheme in Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) is proposed. The proposed method exploits the characteristics of the distribution of motion vectors to terminate the motion estimation early and to place the search points in the search area. Experiment results show that the complexity reduction of the proposed method over FS and TZ can be up to 98.9% and 42~78% respectively while maintaining image quality and bitrates.
