Abstract
- In this research paper, we introduce an adaptive block-matching motion estimation algorithm to improve the accuracy and efficiency of motion estimation (ME). First, we present a block generation system that creates blocks of varying sizes based on the detected motion location. Second, we incorporate predictive tools such as early termination and variable window size to optimize our block-matching algorithm. Furthermore, we propose two distinct search patterns to achieve maximum quality and efficiency. We evaluated the proposed algorithms on 20 videos and compared the results with known algorithms, including the full search algorithm (FSA), which is a benchmark for ME accuracy. Our proposed quality-based algorithm shows an improvement of 0.27 dB in peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) on average for reconstructed frames compared to FSA, along with a reduction of 71.66% in searched blocks. Similarly, our proposed efficiency-based method results in a 0.07 dB increase in PSNR and a 97.93% reduction in searched blocks compared to FSA. These findings suggest that our proposed method has the potential to improve the performance of ME in video coding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
