Patent ID: 7426237

Claim:
A method for finding block-matching in a cellular search comprising: selecting three original slated areas in the searching scope; finding a searching slated area by comparing the three original slated areas, with finding the searching slated area using an algorithm for decreasing the number of checkpoints comprising first and second search ways of each process of the algorithm, all the first search ways being the same and the second search ways being classified to different search modes by the algorithm, with the first search ways and the second search ways being continually consecutively actuated and stopped when obtaining a broken condition or when finding a best block-matching, with a last motion vector being obtained by comparing the three original slated areas, with six cases being used in the second search ways and selected due to the three original slated areas; and searching for block-matching to decide the last motion vector, the searching slated area having a center used to continually actuate the first and second search ways and stopped when obtaining the broken condition or finding the best block-matching, and outputting the last motion vector.
