Abstract:
A video processing method includes generating a first down-sampled block by down-sampling a first block included in a first frame; generating a plurality of second down-sampled blocks by down-sampling a second block included in a second frame; selecting one of the plurality of second down-sampled blocks by comparing the first down-sampled block and each of the plurality of second down-sampled blocks; and determining, based on the first down-sampled block and the one selected second down-sampled block, a motion vector whereby the second block points to the first block, wherein the plurality of second down-sampled blocks are generated using down-sampling methods that are different from each other with respect to samples of the second block.
Abstract:
A motion vector estimation method of a motion vector estimation apparatus are provided. The motion vector estimation method of the motion vector estimation apparatus includes: determining a motion vector of a current block by setting, in another frame, a local search area for searching a plurality of reference pixel blocks corresponding to the current block which is one of pixel blocks in a single frame; and finally determining one of the determined motion vector and a previous motion vector referred to in order to determine the local search area as a motion vector of the current block, based on sum of absolution difference (SAD) values of the reference pixel blocks included in the local search area.
Abstract:
A hierarchical motion prediction apparatus and method. The hierarchical motion prediction method splits a current frame and a reference frame into pixel groups, changes a pixel location of each pixel group, and selects one pixel, and thus resolutions of the current frame and reference frame are reduced. A motion vector of a down-sampled current block is obtained based on a down-sampled current frame and reference frame, and is expanded to a motion vector of an original resolution based on a down sampling rate.
