Abstract:
1. A video encoding apparatus, comprising: a motion estimation module configured to perform a plurality of modes of motion estimations on macro-blocks included in an input frame and configured to provide a motion-estimated frame which conforms to a predetermined standard associated with cost; an information providing module configured to receive motion vectors and mode information of the plurality of modes of motion estimations to provide an encoding information signal including one of the plurality of modes of the motion estimations based on the predetermined standard; a filtering module configured to filter the motion-estimated frame to selectively provide one of a two-dimensional-filtered motion-estimated frame and a motion-estimated frame coupled with a reference frame as a filtered frame based on information included in the encoding information signal, the filtering module including: a motion compensation module configured to perform a motion compensation on the filtered frame to provide a motion-compensated frame; and a converting module configured to perform a spatial conversion on the motion-compensated frame, wherein the plurality of modes of motion estimations are performed by referring to the reference frame.
