Abstract

This paper presents a new motion estimation algorithm to improve the performance of the existing searching algorithms at a relatively low computational cost. We try to amend the incorrect and/or inaccurate estimate of motion with higher precision by using Kalman filter. We first obtain a measurement of motion vector of a block by using the existing searching scheme. We then generate the predicted motion vector utilizing the inter-block correlation in both spatial and temporal directions. In general, the motion correlation in spatial direction is different from that in temporal direction. Therefore, if we appropriately utilize the motion correlation in spatial direction and temporal direction, the better performance would be achieved. In this paper, we will propose an adaptive Kalman filter which utilizes a model switching mechanism to select correct motion model. Simulation results show that the proposed technique can efficiently improve the motion estimation performance.
