A Fast and Efficient Predictive Block Matching Motion Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a novel and fast approach to Full Search Block Matching (FSBM) employing prediction of search region, based on the sampled statistics of Sum-of-Absolute Difference (SAD) distributions. The motion vector is predicted to belong to either of two regions, representing long-motion and short-motion, with limited amount of overlap between the two. The proposed prediction is statistically validated with more than 98% successes for different video sequences. Experimental results reveal that the proposed Predicted FSBM (PFSBM) algorithm saves up to 89% of computations, as compared to FSBM and the estimation accuracy is very close to that of FSBM. The PFSBM approach has been successfully tested with integer, as well as half-pel accuracy. Its performance has been compared with three-step search (TSS) and FSBM for a variety of test video sequences and the results are encouraging.

Adaptive search area for fast motion estimation
In this paper a new method for determining the search area for motion estimation algorithm based on block matching is suggested. In the proposed method the search area is adaptively found for each block of a frame. This search area is similar to that of the full search (FS) algorithm but smaller for most blocks of a frame. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is analogous to FS in terms of reg...
