Employing a novel cross-diamond search in a modified hierarchical search motion estimation algorithm for video compression
Novel three levels hierarchical motion estimation algorithm. The quality of the proposed algorithm is 98% similar to the Full Search algorithm. The complexity is reduced by 83.4% compared to the Full Search algorithm. A new search pattern is proposed at the middle level of the hierarchy. The algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art work in this field.
