چکیده
Introduction: The performance of software-only video CODECs is often constrained by available processing power. Existing fast motion estimation algorithms are not designed to provide flexible, predictable control of computational complexity. We propose an adaptive algorithm, which maintains the computational complexity of the motion estimation function at various target levels by controlling the motion estimation search pattern.

متن کاملNew adaptive interpolation schemes for efficient meshbased motion estimation
Motion estimation and compensation is an essential part of existing video coding systems. The mesh-based motion estimation (MME) produces smoother motion field, better subjective quality (free from blocking artifacts), and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in many cases, especially at low bitrate video communications, compared to the conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). Howev...
