Abstract

Recently, a fast search algorithm for video coding using orthogonal logarithmic search algorithm (OSA) was proposed by Soongsathitanon et al. [1]. We have introduced the center-biased search point pattern for the estimation of small motions and a halfway-stop technique to reduce the computational complexity in the existing OSA. This chapter presents a novel method called modified orthogonal search algorithm (MOSA) for block-based motion estimation. Experimental results based on a number of video sequences are presented to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed motion estimation technique.
