Novel Motion Estimation Technique

Detailed Technology Description

UC San Diego inventors have devised a novel motion estimation technique with applications in the following (and more) areas: Frame Rate Conversion - for example, NTSC to HDTV video rate conversion. Compression - for example, in MPEG2, MPEG4, H.26L, etc. Image registration and other image processing techniques that require motion estimation. This technique is a highly efficient method that can compute all possible motion vectors.

Title: Phase plane correlation motion vector determination method
Usefulness: Phase plane correlation motion vector determination method
Summary: Used for measuring a video image motion for a format conversion, de-interlacing, compression, transcoding, and an image registration.
Novelty: Phase plane correlation motion vector determining method for e.g. format conversion, involves employing global motion parameters to assign motion vectors to sub-blocks, where correlation fails
