Abstract

According to the PDE scheme, it is desirable to make the value of SAD to be rapidly increased in motion estimation. In this paper, we propose a new block matching algorithm based on the combination of a new scan and search order. In the proposed scan order, a current block is divided by the frequency that is estimated by summing the difference between the mean and the values of the pixels. And then the calculation of SAD is performed from the highest frequency area. In the proposed search order based on DC difference between the current and the candidate block, candidate blocks with low DC are early checked in motion estimation. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves about 6% computational gain compared with the conventional methods.

PDE기법에 기반한 움직임 추정에서는 SAD가 누적 초기에 큰 값을 가지는 것이 이상적이다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 새로운 누적 순서 및 탐색 순서를 결합한 효율적인 블록 정합 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 누적 순서는 현재 블록에서 고주파 성분이 큰 영역에 대하여 SAD 계산이 먼저 수행되도록 한다. 또한, 제안하는 탐색 순서는 현재 블록과 각 후보 블록간의 DC차와 SAD간의 연관성에 기반하여, 낮은 DC차를 지니는 후보 블록을 먼저 정합되도록 하였다. 모의 실험 결과는 제안 방식에 의하여 약 6%의 성능 향상이 이루어짐을 보여준다.
