In this paper,we proposed a novel Two-layer Motion Estimation (TME) which searches motion vectors on two layers with partial distortion measures in order to reduce the overwhelming computational complexity of Motion Estimation (ME) in video coding.A layer is an image which is derived from the reference frame such that the sum of a block of pixels in the reference frame determines the point of a layer.It has been noticed on different video sequences that many motion vectors on the layers are the same as those searched on the reference frame.The proposed TME performs a coarse search on the first layer to identify the small region in which the best candidate block is likely to be positioned and then perform local refined search on the next layer to pick the best candidate block in the located small area.The key feature of TME is its flexibility of mixing with any fast search algorithm.Experimental results on a wide variety of video sequences show that the proposed algorithm has achieved both fast speed and good motion prediction quality when compared to well known as well as the state-of-the-art fast block matching algorithms. 相似文献

Motion vector estimation plays an important role in motion-compensated video coding. An efficient and fast search algorithm is proposed for the estimation of motion vectors. With the help of gray prediction, the algorithm can determine the motion vectors of image blocks quickly and correctly. Since the proposed algorithm performs better than other search algorithms [e.g. the three-step search (TSS), cross-search (CS), new three-step search (NTSS), four-step search (FSS), block-based gradient descent search (BBGDS), simple-and-efficient search (SES), prediction search (PS) and gray prediction search (GPS)], it is very beneficial in applications where the video coding speed is important 相似文献

This paper presents an efficient variable block size motion estimation algorithm for use in real-time H.264 video encoder implementation. In this recursive motion estimation algorithm, results of variable block size modes and motion vectors previously obtained for neighboring macroblocks are used in determining the best mode and motion vectors for encoding the current macroblock. Considering only a limited number of well chosen candidates helps reduce the computational complexity drastically. An additional fine search stage to refine the initially selected motion vector enhances the motion estimator accuracy and SNR performance to a value close to that of full search algorithm. The proposed methods result in over 80% reduction in the encoding time over full search reference implementation and around 55% improvement in the encoding time over the fast motion estimation algorithm (FME) of the reference implementation. The average SNR and compression performance do not show significant difference from the reference implementation. Results based on a number of video sequences are presented to demonstrate the advantage of using the proposed motion estimation technique. 相似文献

Motion estimation is an important part of H.264/AVC encoding progress, with high computational complexity. Therefore, it is quite necessary to find a fast motion estimation algorithm for real-time applications. The algorithm proposed in this letter adjudges the macroblocks activity degree first; then classifies different video sequences, and applies different search strategies according to the result. Experiments show that this method obtains almost the same video quality with the Full Search (FS) algorithm but with reduced more than 95% computation cost. 相似文献

该文提出一种新的基于量子克隆选择的自适应多模式快速运动估计算法。算法利用序列图像的时空预测运动矢量作为序列活动剧烈程度的依据,自适应选择搜索模式。静止块直接中止搜索;平缓运动类型块以(0,0)点为起始点,直接使用CDS搜索模式;剧烈运动类型块使用QCS/CDS联合搜索模式,首先使用量子克隆选择QCS寻找近似最优解,然后以近似最优解为起始点,使用CDS搜索。实验结果证明,算法在能够获得接近全搜索方法所得到的平均峰值信噪比前提下,平均搜索点数大大减少,搜索速度显著加快。 相似文献

Motion estimation is one of the critical parts in video compression standards with a high computational load. Many motion estimation algorithms have been developed to reduce the number of search points compared to a full-search algorithm without losing the quality considerably. Most of them use fixed search patterns in their first step which may suffer from trapping into local minima or searching unnecessary blocks due to inappropriate size and type of search patterns. In this paper, a new dynamic search pattern using motion vectors of spatial and temporal neighboring blocks is proposed. The motion vectors of neighboring blocks are prioritized, in order to efficiently use of halfway stop technique. The simulation results indicate that proposed algorithm is very close to the full-search algorithm in quality, compared to other rivals. Moreover, the average number of searches is often less than other algorithms. 相似文献

This paper presents a robust true motion estimation algorithm, designated as MPMVP (Multi-pass and Motion Vector Propagation), to enhance the accuracy of the motion vector fields in frame rate up-conversion applications. The MPMVP uses a multi-pass scheme to progressively refine approximate motion vectors to true motion vectors based upon the motion information acquired in previous passes. The multi-pass motion estimation process uses a large block size to detect the motion vectors within the objects themselves and small block sizes to detect the motion vectors along the object boundaries. Actually, the block size is progressively reduced during the search process. When the motion vector of a block is considered to be sufficiently accurate for motion estimation purposes, the block is said to be converged and the local motion vector search process terminates. A novel technique, referred to as motion vector propagation, is then applied to propagate the motion vector of the converged block to its neighboring blocks. This technique not only ensures that neighboring motion vectors within the same object have a high degree of spatial correlation, but also accelerates the convergence of the motion vectors in the neighboring blocks and therefore reduces the overall computational time and expense of the multi-pass motion vector search procedure. A novel distortion criterion is proposed to enhance the tolerance of the traditional sum-of-absolute-difference measurement technique applied in the motion estimation scheme to noise and shadow effects. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed true motion estimation algorithm outperforms the traditional full search, 3DRS and TCSBP algorithms in terms of both the smoothness of the generated motion vector fields and the visual quality of the up-converted frames. 相似文献

For multimedia communications, there is a need to downscale a video prior to transmission because of the limitation of the
bandwidth of a channel, and/or the different standards between transcoders. However, performing motion estimation in the downscaled
video is computational intensive. In this paper, a parabolic motion vector re-estimation (PMVR) algorithm is proposed to predict
motion vectors of the downscaled video. The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce computational complexity with slight
PSNR degradation, in comparison with full search algorithm. Experimental results show that, with few additional computation,
the proposed algorithm achieves a much higher quality than several existing algorithms. 相似文献

Motion estimation has always been an important part of video encoding systems because it can reduce temporal redundancy effectively and thus has significant impact on the bit rate and the output visual quality of the encoded sequence. Unfortunately, when using the brute-force full search algorithm, motion estimation consumes a very large portion of the encoding time. Previously, several algorithms have been proposed which try to reduce complexity, usually, with a significant loss in visual quality. Based on the diamond zonal search framework we introduced recently, we propose in this paper a novel algorithm called advanced diamond zonal search (ADZS), which was submitted to and well received by the Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) standard committee for possible inclusion as an encoder optimization tool. ADZS was criticized in MPEG for using fixed thresholds, which may not be suitable for all video sequences. To address this issue, we further propose a threshold-adaptive version called threshold-adaptive advanced diamond zonal search (TAADZS). Simulation results verify the superior performance of ADZS and TAADZS over other fast algorithms and the robustness of TAADZS over ADZS.This project has been supported by the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China (project no.

运动估计是视频压缩中最重要的环节.H.264编码器由于采用了高精度运动矢量,计算量迅速增长,运动估计消耗整个编码时间80%左右.本文在分析UMHexagonS算法的基础上,分别对UMHexagonS算法中搜索窗口大小的选择、大六边形搜索和小六边形(小钻石)搜索模式三方面做了优化,在保持了原有图象质量的情况下有效的节省了运动估计时间.通过对各种测试序列的实验证明,优化后的算法与UMHexagonS算法相比,在重建图象质量和码率接近的情况下,运动估计时间平均节省了18.292%,降低了算法的复杂度,提高了编码器的实时性. 相似文献
