Abstract--This paper proposes a no-reference quality assessment metric for digital video subject to H.264/AVC encoding. The proposed metric comprises two main steps: coding error e...
—H.264 video coding standard adopts different coding schemes like variable block sizes and multiple reference frames for motion estimation. Hence, H.264/AVC provides gains in com...
Abstract Fractional Motion Estimation (FME) in highdefinition H.264 presents a significant design challenge in terms of memory bandwidth, latency and area cost as there are various...
We modify the multilevel successive elimination algorithm (MSEA) to make it compatible with the motion estimation required for the H.264/AVC video coding standard. The algorithm m...
In many modern video encoders, motion estimation is usually formulated as a Lagrangian cost function that balances motion prediction accuracy and the rate to transmit motion vecto...
