A global motion estimation technology based on MPEG was put forward. First,
a four-parameter model, which is used to describe the global motion yielde
d by camera motion, was proposed. Then these parameters were obtained by us
ing an algorithm which is based on block-matching, and the global motion co
uld be compensated by these four parameters. Since the motion vectors inclu
de the information of the optimum match-blocking, these information can be
used without completely decoding the MPEG video sequence. The experiment sh
ows that the algorithm is fast, and feint motion field can be excluded by g
lobal motion compensation.
