FEATURE-BIT-PLANE MATCHING TECHNIQUE FOR ESTIMATION OF MOTION VECTORS

The authors describe a fast block matching algorithm based on a featur e-bit-plane matching scheme in which two types of transformed planes c haracterising the spatial distribution of pixel intensities of a frame are employed. Simulation results show that this method provides a pre diction accuracy similar to that of the full-search method, while requ iring only similar to 10% of the computation needed by the latter.
