Abstract

See full text

A digital signal processor encodes video signals per MPEG standard to achieve multi-stage, low-complexity motion estimation for interframe video coding. A dual-stage motion prediction module processes a compressed bitstream through pixel-averaging, and then applies a Sum-Of-Absolute-Difference (SOAD) function to the bitstream. A minimum motion vector signal is thereby generated over a search range initially for rough determination, then to provide a more refined estimation, the SOAD function is re-applied to the surrounding 16.times.16 blocks, preferably by full and half-pel vertical and horizontal offsets.
