Patent EP-0773688-A3 (EP)
Title: Method for motion estimation
Inventor: BORGWARDT PETER A
IPC: H04N5/14
Filed: 1996-11-12
Abstract: Motion estimation using limited-time early exit with
prequalification matrices and a predicted search center reduces
computational time for a video compression encoder. The partial
absolute error obtained for a given location within a search area is
compared periodically with a prior absolute error obtained for a prior
position within the search area to determine whether the partial
absolute error is greater than such prior absolute error. If the partial
absolute error is greater, then the processing for that position may be
terminated and the search moved to the next location within the
search area. Using the triangle inequality a series of prequalification
matrices  (22, 24)  are generated for the reference image  (12)  and for
the current  (14)  image being searched. Comparing the
prequalification matrices using early exit further reduces the
computational time. Also by using a motion vector for a neighboring
block of pixels to determine a predicted center point within the
search area, one of the first few locations within the search area
generally produces the best difference, so that all subsequent
locations result in early exit, reducing computational time even
further. Finally to assure that the motion vectors for a frame are
determined within realtime constraints, the amount of time required 
to process a block as measured in terms of a number of AbsSum8
operations is used to terminate the processing of a block if the
processing has not yet produced a final absolute error minimum. For
those blocks which complete early, the saved "time" is averaged over
the remaining blocks. Therefore the use of these four techniques --
Early Exit, Prequalification Matrices, Limited-Time and Predicted
Search Center -- together produces an improvement of up to 13 to 1
over conventional Exhaustive or Hierarchical Search techniques.
