Abstract

The invention discloses an integer pixel precision motion estimation method and a system for the same. The method comprises the following steps of: dividing the search window data into 16 types of pixels and respectively storing the data into 32 RAMs (Random Access Memories) according to the parity of macro blocks, using 16 dual 4*4 pixel motion cost arithmetic units to respectively calculate the motion estimation cost of each type of pixels, and then, when performing layered searching, distributing and combining the arithmetic units, scanning macro block columns one by one according to a dual 'arch'-shaped mode, and realizing layer-by-layer incremental search of which step sizes are respectively 4, 2 and 1. According to the method, by means of referring to a data window storage and management mechanism, pre-storing a score precision search window and the like, the access bandwidth of an external memory is reduced, the bandwidth utilization rate of an internal memory is improved, the degree of parallelism of motion search is improved greatly, and the execution efficiency of large-scale search motion estimation is improved. Simultaneously, the complexity in implementation of layered search hardware is reduced, and the chip area is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of digital image processing and digital video encoding and decoding, in particular to an integer pixel precision motion estimation method and system thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the information industry, people's demand for multimedia services is also increasing rapidly. In multimedia services, video applications place extremely high requirements on network bandwidth and storage space due to their huge data volume. Efficient and high-quality video compression algorithms and structures are increasingly favored by the industry. [0003] Because video data has a strong correlation in space and time, video coding algorithms usually use intra-frame coding and inter-frame coding to eliminate the spatial and temporal correlation, thereby effectively reducing the amount of redundant data. In inter-frame coding, motion estimation (ME) plays a vital role; a good motion ...
