Abstract
Fractional motion estimation may be implemented by tagging sub-blocks of a first size. The sub-blocks may be located within blocks of picture data of a variety of different sizes, including the first size. The sub-blocks are tagged to link them to their motion vectors so that more efficient calculations may be implemented in some embodiments.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- performing fractional motion estimation on blocks of pixel data having a plurality of different sizes, including a plurality of sizes larger than a first size;
- breaking up said blocks into sub-blocks of said first size;
- and
- tagging each of said sub-blocks with a motion vector.
