A New Fast Motion Estimation Algorithm Based on Block Sum Pyramid Algorithm

In this paper, a new fast motion estimation algorithm which is based on the Block Sum Pyramid Algorithm(BSPA) is presented. The Spiral Diamond Mesh Search scheme and Partial Distortion Elimination scheme of Efficient Multi-level Successive Elimination Algorithm were improved and then the improved schemes were applied to the BSPA. The motion estimation accuracy of the proposed algorithm is nearly 100% and the cost of Block Sum Pyramid Algorithm was reduced in the proposed algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was verified by experimental results.

본 논문에서는 블록 합 피라미드 알고리즘에 기초한 빠른 움직임 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. Efficient Multi-level Successive Elimination Algorithm의 Spiral Diamond Mesh Search 기법과 Partial Distortion Elimination 기법을 개선하여 이들을 블록 합 피라미드 알고리즘에 적용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 움직임 추정 정확도는 거의 100%이고 블록 합 피라미드 알고리즘의 연산량을 효과적으로 줄였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 확인하였다.
