Abstract:
In video motion estimation an initial candidate motion vector is generated for each block and a vector error is determined as for example a DFD. Spatial gradients of pixel values are calculated and used to refine the initial candidate motion vector. The relative contribution of the spatial gradients to the refinement process depends on the vector error.
