چکیده

We present an algorithm and a hardware architecture for block-based motion estimation that involves transforming video sequences from a multibit to a one-bit/pixel representation and then applying conventional motion estimation search strategies. This results in substantial reductions in arithmetic and hardware complexity and reduced power consumption, while maintaining good compression performance. Experimental results and a custom hardware design using a linear array of processing elements are also presented.

Modified Constrained Two-bit Transform for Motion Estimation

Motion estimation (ME) using bit-plane matching (BPM) algorithm has been proposed. The bit-plane matching algorithm transforms original images into bit-planes and performs a fast block matching process using the bit-planes. Two-bit transform (2BT) transforms an image frame into two bit planes with local window mean and variance values as threshold values. Constrained two-bit transform (C2BT) wa...

Improved 1-Bit Transform Based Motion Estimation Using Color Channels

Motion estimation (ME) is used in many video applications, including coding, registration and enhancement for example. The computational load of motion estimation is relatively high. In state-ofthe-art video coding algorithms the computational load of motion estimation can reach up to 70% of the computational load of the entire coding system. Approaches that reduce the computational load of ME ...

Block motion estimation using adaptive modified two-bit transform

An adaptive modification to the two-bit transform-based low-complexity block motion estimation approach is proposed. Initially, video frames are converted into two-bit representations using the two-bit transform (2BT), and binary block-based motion estimation is performed using these two bit-planes. Modification to the original 2BT-based motion estimation scheme is introduced by conditional loc...

Low complexity block motion estimation using morphological-based feature extraction and XOR operations

Motion estimation is a temporal image compression technique, where an n x n block of pixels in the current frame of a video sequence is represented by a motion vector with respect to the best matched block in a search area of the previous frame, and the DCT coefficients of the displaced block differences. In this paper, a low complexity technique for motion estimation is proposed. The proposed ...

Wavelet based video encoder using KCDS

Video coding schemes for low bit-rate is of high importance and traditional coding schemes which use block transforms suffer from blocking artefacts. Here we propose a Video Codec based on Wavelet transform and hence performance of the coder is superior to other block transform based codecs. The Wavelet coefficients are coded using the computationally simpler no list SPIHT whose performance is ...
