In this paper, an efficient multi-level successive elimination algorithm using the locality in block was proposed for motion estimation. If SAD(sum of absolute difference) is calculated from large absolute difference values to small absolute difference values, SAD is increased rapidly. So, partial distortion elimination in SAD calculation can be done very early. Hence, the computations of SAD calculation can be reduced. In this paper, an efficient algorithm to calculate SAD from large absolute difference values to small absolute difference values by using the locality in block. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is an efficient algorithm with 100% motion estimation accuracy for the motion estimation of motion vectors.

This paper proposes two detection algorithms for Multi-user Space Time Block Code systems. The first one is linear detection Gaussian Elimination algorithm, and then it combined with Ordered Successive Cancellation to get better performance. The comparisons between receiver and other popular receivers, including linear receivers are provided. It will be shown that the performance of Gaussian Elimination receiver is similar but more simplicity than linear detection algorithms and performance of Gaussian Elimination Ordered Successive Cancellation superior as compared to other linear detection method.

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.

In this paper, we present a fast motion estimation algorithm to reduce the computations of block matching algorithm for motion estimation in video coding. The proposed algorithm is based on Multi-level Successive Elimination Algorithm and Efficient Multi-level Successive Elimination Algorithms. The best estimate of the motion vectors can be obtained by hierarchical search point sampling and thus the proposed algorithm can decrease the number of matching evaluations that require very intensive computations. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was verified by experimental results.

In this paper, an improved ordered block minimum mean squared error (OB-MMSE) detector for generalized spatial modulation (GSM) systems is presented. It is based on an ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) technique. Its bit error rate (BER) performance and computational complexity are compared with those of the corresponding original OB-MMSE detector. It is shown that the proposed OSIC-based OB-MMSE detector outperforms the OB-MMSE detector in terms of BER without noticeable complexity increase.

In this paper, we present advanced algorithms to reduce the computations of block matching algorithms for motion estimation in video coding. Advanced multi-level successive elimination algorithms(AMSEA) are based on the Multi-level successive elimination algorithm(MSEA)[1]. The first algorithm is that when we calculate the sum of absolute difference (SAD) between the sum norms of sub-blocks in MSEA, we use the partial distortion elimination technique. By using the first algorithm, we can reduce the computations of MSEA further. In the second algorithm, we calculate SAD adaptively from large value to small value according to the absolute difference values between pixels of blocks. By using the second algorithm, the partial distortion elimination in SAD calculation can occur early. So, the computations of MSEA can be reduced. In the third algorithm, we can estimate the elimination level of MSEA. Accordingly, the computations of the MSEA related to the level lower than the estimated level can be reduced. The fourth algorithm is a very fast block matching algorithm with nearly 100% motion estimation accuracy. Experimental results show that AMSEA are very efficient algorithms for the estimation of motion vectors.

In this paper, we present a fast block matching motion estimation algorithm based on successive elimination algorithm (SEA). Based on the characteristic of center-biased motion vector distribution in the search area, the proposed method improves the performance of the SEA with a reduced the number of the search positions in the search area, In addition, to reduce the computational load, this method is combined with both the reduced bits mean absolute difference (RBMAD) matching criterion which can be reduced the computation complexity of pixel comparison in the block matching and pixel decimation technique which reduce the number of pixels used in block matching. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides better performance than existing fast algorithms and similar to full-search block motion estimation algorithm.

In this paper, we propose a new fast motion estimation algorithm based on successive elimination algorithm (SEA) which can dramatically reduce heavy complexity of the variable block size motion estimation in H.264 encoder. The proposed method applies the conventional SEA in the hierarchical manner to the seven block modes. That is, the proposed algorithm can remove the unnecessary computation of SAD by means of the process that the previous minimum SAD is compared to a current SAD for each mode which is obtained by accumulating sum norms or SAD of $4\times4$ blocks. As a result, we have tighter bound in the inequality between SAD and sum norm than in the ordinary SEA. If the basic size of the block is smaller than $4\times4$, the bound will become tighter but it also causes to increase computational complexity, specifically addition operations for sum norm. Compared with fast full search algorithm of JM of H.264, our algorithm saves 60 to $70\%$ of computation on average for several image sequences.
