A Logarithmic-Time Adaptive Block-Matching Algorithm for Estimating Large-Displacement Motion Vectors

  • Chapter

Abstract

Since its inception in the early 1970s [l]–[3], the concept that image quality of temporal prediction can be enhanced with the help of motion information has had a substantial influence on the progress of image sequence coding. The use of motion estimation/compensation, which attempts to obtain knowledge of the displacements of moving objects in successive frames and apply it to remove temporal redundancy, has been suggested as one of the important reasons that current video coding schemes have achieved a level of performance that was widely considered impossible thirty years ago.
