Method and System for Motion Estimation Around a Fixed Reference Vector Using a Pivot-Pixel Approach

摘要

Certain aspects of a method and system for motion estimation around a fixed reference vector using a pivot pixel approach may include pivoting each of the plurality of pixels in an output picture to perform a sub-pixel search in a plurality of directions around a reference vector. A plurality of cost values may be calculated for performing motion compensation for a plurality of pixels in the output picture along a plurality of directions around the reference vector. A motion vector may be generated corresponding to the least calculated cost for each pixel in the output picture based on the calculated plurality of cost values.
