METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTIPLE REFERENCE PICTURE MOTION ESTIMATION

摘要

The claimed invention relates to efficient use of data for multiple reference picture motion estimation. Multiple reference picture motion estimation involves a large amount of data due to the processing of multiple reference pictures. The claimed invention discloses a method 101 and a system for implementing this method to reduce the memory size required for data storage and the bandwidth required for data loading. The claimed invention thus improves the efficiency of performing multiple reference picture motion estimation.
