Abstract:
1. A method for motion estimation, with respect to a sequence of images, executed on a computer or a digital signal processor, the method comprising: generating respective updates based on predictor vectors; distributing the updates over a plurality of tables organized in a plurality of table sets, each of the table sets containing a plurality of tables, and each of the tables including a plurality of updates; selecting a respective table set from the table sets by using a motion model classifier; applying only a single table of updates of a respective selected table set to a given predictor vector to generate a limited set of candidate vectors only; and applying, for a subsequent predictor vector, the updates of a further single table of the tables of a selected table set, wherein the tables and the table sets are stored in a memory that is dynamically configurable and/or dynamically configured during a run-time.
