Block-by-block motion compensation algorithms are studied for video-conference/video-telephone television signals. A fast feature-based block matching algorithm using integral projections for the motion vector estimation is proposed. The proposed algorithm reduces the motion estimation computations by a factor of two by calculating the one-dimensional cost functions rather than the two-dimensional ones. Also, the low sensitivity of the proposed algorithm to the presence of additive noise is shown experimentally. Simulation results based on the original and noisy image sequences are presented
