چکیده
In this paper, we discuss our e ort to develop a motion estimation algorithm based on variable block size, which reduces computational complexity dramatically while maintaining good picture quality as well as high compression ratio. A key step in this work is to segment each image frame into di erent regions using a simple binary-level classi er which performs bit-wise comparison. In the second stage, the motion estimation is performed for every block of variable block size within the changed region with a predetermined maximum search range. The proposed technique has been applied to interframe video coding, and it has been shown that this scheme can be a feasible solution for the low bit rate coding application such as video telephony.

A very low bit-rate video codec using multiple-level segmentation and affine motion compensation is presented. The translational motion model is adequate to motion compensate small regions even when complex motion is involved; however, it is no longer capable of delivering satisfactory results when applied to large regions or the whole frame. The proposed codec is based on a variable block size...

The motion compensated coding(MCC), which exploits the temporal redundancies in the moving images, is one of the most popular techniques currently used. Recently, a variable block size(VBS) motion estimation technique has been proposed to improve the performance of the motion compensated transform coding(MCTC). This technique allows larger blocks to be used when smaller blocks provide little ga...
