Abstract: A video encoding apparatus and a video encoding method are provided. The video encoding apparatus includes an integer-pel motion estimation (IME) circuit, a temporal noise reduction (TNR) circuit, a fractional-pel motion estimation (FME) circuit and an encoding circuit. The IME circuit provides the first motion vector, the error value and the co-located error value of the current block in the current frame to the TNR circuit. By using the first motion vector, the error value and the co-located error value of the current block in the current frame, the TNR circuit performs the temporal filtering process on the current block in an original image data to produce a denoised image data to the FME circuit.

Abstract: A motion estimation method for a frame rate converter includes generating a plurality of unidirectional motion vectors (MVs) based on a first original frame and a second original frame; classifying each of the plurality of unidirectional MVs as a reliable MV or a mismatch MV; mapping the reliable MV onto one of a plurality of blocks of an interpolation frame; classifying each of the plurality of blocks as a high confidence block or a low confidence block based on whether there is at least one reliable MV mapped onto the block; and determining an assigned MV for each of the high confidence block by selecting one of the at least one reliable MV mapped onto the high confidence block.
