    Abstract: A video encoder may use an adaptive Wiener filter inside the core video encoding loop to improve coding efficiency. In one embodiment, the Wiener filter may be on the input to a motion estimation unit and, in another embodiment, it may be on the output of a motion compensation unit. The taps for the Wiener filter may be determined based on characteristics of at least a region of pixel intensities within a picture. Thus, the filtering may be adaptive in that it varies based on the type of video being processed.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products that can be used to determine a search range (SR) when performing motion estimation at, for example, a video encoder or decoder. Determining a motion vector for a current block during motion estimation may involve searching within a search window that may reside in a reference frame, or in a previously decoded block that spatially or temporally neighbors the current block. Such a search seeks a motion vector that minimizes a metric, such as a sum of absolute differences between corresponding blocks of reference frames. A motion vector that minimizes such a metric may be a good candidate for use in motion estimation. The search may become more efficient if a search range is determined such that the extent of the search is bounded. A search range may be determined at the block level or at the picture level.

    Abstract: Adaptive control can use hierarchical motion estimation (HME) and/or multiple reference motion estimation (MRME) for the motion estimation of current encoding blocks. Both HME and MRME are allowed in the motion estimation to achieve a high coding gain. Control consists of slice level control and macro-block (MB) level control. A slice is one or more contiguous macroblocks. In slice level control, it is decided to use only one reference frame or use multiple reference frames to coding current slice based on the motion vectors obtained in coarse level motion estimation. In MB level control, it is decided to perform MRME or perform HME for the MB and its subblocks based on the coarse level motion vectors of the MB.

    Abstract: A system and method for performing candidate-based decoder-side motion vector determination (DMVD). Candidate motion vectors (MVs) may be rounded to the nearest whole or integer pixel. The rounded candidate MV having the best sum of absolute differences (SAD) may be identified. This may be used as the final MV. Alternatively, the un-rounded MV corresponding to this rounded candidate MV may be used as the final MV. Alternatively, a small range integer search may be performed around the chosen rounded candidate MV, and the best integer pixel in the search area may be identified and used to define the final MV. Alternatively, an intermediate MV may be chosen, where this MV is intermediate between the chosen rounded candidate MV and the MV corresponding to the best integer pixel in the search area.
