Abstract

A fast two-stage scheme for the search of the motion vectors under varying interframe brightness characteristics, referred to as enhanced motion vectors, is devised. In the first stage of the scheme, a given block and the corresponding blocks in the search window are mapped into the sum-of-pixel value domain, where two subsets of candidate blocks, one consisting the blocks having the DC values closest to the DC value of the block of interest and the other consisting of those having the farthest DC values are selected. In the second stage, the motion vector is determined by employing these subsets and using the mean square error as the matching criterion. Experimental results show that the proposed technique provides a high prediction accuracy with a low computational load.
