Abstract :
Two modifications to a robust block-by-block motion estimation algorithm for use in an interframe coding strategy are described. These modifications significantly reduce the computation required to obtain the motion vectors and the amount of overhead information that has to be transmitted, with a negligible reduction in the performance of the algorithm.
