Adaptive Motion Estimator Based on Variable Block Size Scheme
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an adaptive motion estimator that can be dynamically reconfigured by the best algorithm depending on the variation of the video nature during the lifetime of an application under running. The 4 Step Search (4SS) and the Gradient Search (GS) algorithms are integrated in the estimator in order to be used in the case of rapid and slow video sequences respectively. The Full Search Block Matching (FSBM) algorithm has been also integrated in order to be used in the case of the video sequences which are not real time oriented. In order to efficiently reduce the computational cost while achieving better visual quality with low cost power, the proposed motion estimator is based on a Variable Block Size (VBS) scheme that uses only the 16x16, 16x8, 8x16 and 8x8 modes. Experimental results show that the adaptive motion estimator allows better results in term of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), computational cost, FPGA occupied area, and dissipated power relatively to the most popular variable block size schemes presented in the literature. Keywords—H264, Configurable Motion Estimator, Variable Block Size, PSNR, Dissipated power.

The Effect of Measurement Errors on the Performance of Variable Sample Size and Sampling Interval Control Chart
The effect of measurement errors on adaptive and non-adaptive control charts has been occasionally considered by researchers throughout the years. However, that effect on the variable sample size and sampling interval (VSSI) control charts has not so far been investigated. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of measurement errors on the VSSI control charts. After a model development, the effe...
متن کاملVariable Block size Motion Estimator
Background. The class on complexity goes through how to design a fixed block size motion estimator. It is useful to have reviewed that class before proceeding with this document. Basically, often in video the only difference between much of the content in subsequent frames is motion (imagine panning a camera slowly over a fixed scene). If this is true the difference between subsequent frames ca...

High-Performance Wavelet-Based Video Coding Using Variable Block-Size Motion Compensation and Adaptive Arithmetic Coding
In this paper, we present a wavelet-based video coding algorithm within a conventional hybrid framework of temporal motion-compensated prediction and transform coding. Our proposed algorithm involves the incorporation of multi-frame motion compensation as an effective means of improving the quality of the temporal prediction. For an efficient coding control, we follow the rate-distortion optimi...
متن کاملVariable size block matching motion compensation with applications to video coding - Communications, Speech and Vision, IEE Proceedings I
In block matching type motion compensation schemes, the image is divided into blocks of the same size. For each block a search is conducted in the previous frame to locate the best correspondence. For the scheme to succeed an implicit assumption has to be made that the motion within each block is uniform, an assumption which may not necessarily be correct, and as a result the quality of the pre...
