Abstract

A motion estimator and motion estimating method are provided for dividing a current frame into a plurality of blocks and estimating motion by comparing a current block with a previous frame. The motion estimator comprises a mean motion estimation unit for computing a mean motion vector based on motion vectors of surrounding blocks adjacent to the current block, a line motion generation unit for generating a line motion vector in a predetermined search area based on motion vectors of horizontal blocks of the current block, and a motion vector selection unit for selecting and outputting one of the mean motion vector and the line motion vector as a final motion vector of the current block based on a mean motion expectation error value in accordance with the mean motion vector and a line motion expectation error value in accordance with the line motion vector. Aspects of the present invention provide a motion estimator for searching correct motion vectors in the case of moving objects or occurrence of scrolling text against a moving background.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2005-0061088 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jul. 7, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The invention relates to a motion estimator and a motion estimation method thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a motion estimator for searching a correct motion vector and a motion estimation method thereof. Background technique [0003] In general, converting a frame rate using a frame rate converter in a display device by improving timing, gray-scale representation, etc. can make a display panel excellent. To this end, motion estimation and compensation techniques using block-unit motion vectors are applied to the frame rate converter and de-interleaver so that natural moving images can be displayed. However, conventional motion estimation and compensation tec...
