Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0027128A1] In a new motion estimation system (550) and process for video compression (600), the search for matching blocks is performed in the frequency domain making extensive use of data already computed by the video encoding process. Moreover, additional good block matches can be recognized with this approach. A multi-tiered approach may be employed to combine the frequency domain analysis with existing spatial domain techniques. The approach is computationally less expensive than typical spatial domain block matching algorithms.
