A new Motion Estimation technique for Video Coding

Abstract

Personal wireless communication and digital multimedia information devices become widely available and extensively used. These devices require more and more developed video codecs. Hence, several video coding standards motivate developers to innovate and improve them. The block of Motion Estimation (ME) is an important module in all recent video coders. This paper presents REGIM Video Coding (REGIM-VC) as a new video coding technique. REGIM-VC proposes an efficient motion estimation algorithm based on block matching. The proposed algorithm purpose is to improve the compression performance by applying new Motion Estimation techniques. For this reason, it reduces the search points number in Motion Estimation block of video codec. Consequently, it saves significantly the bit-rate and the computational time.
