New Motion Estimation Algorithm and Its Block-Matching Criteria Using Low-Resolution Quantization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new motion estimation algorithm and its block-matching criteria using low-resolution quantization. The proposed algorithm reduces both the huge computational cost of the full search algorithm and the performance degradation of the fast algorithms by matching the low-resolution images. Two search steps called the lowresolution search and the full-resolution search are employed. Simulation results show that the PSNR of the proposed algorithm is superior to those of the 4:1 alternate subsampling algorithm with less computational cost. Its computational cost is 1/38.1 of the full search algorithm.

Low-Hardware-Cost Motion Estimation with Large Search Range for VLSI Multimedia Processors
In this paper, we propose new low-hardware-cost motion estimation with a large search range for VLSI multimedia processors. It reduces the hardware amount required for pixel comparison by reducing both the spatial-resolution and bit-resolution of pixel values. Low-hardwarecost block-matching criterion is also employed. To avoid performance degradation from low resolution, we introduce an “outli...

This paper presents a new video coding technique using multiwavelet transform and multi-stage vector quantization. Three types of redundancies that are common in video sequence are spatial, temporal and psycho visual redundancies. In this work, the spatial redundancy in the video is minimized using multiwavelet transform. The transform coefficients are then quantized using multi-stage vector qu...

This paper describes a new motion estimation algorithm that is suitable for hardware implementation and substantially reduces the hardware cost by using a low bit-resolution image in the block matching. In the low bit-resolution image generation, adaptive quantization is employed to reduce the bit resolution of the pixel values, which is better than simple truncation of the least significant bi...
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...
متن کاملAdaptive 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...
