In interframe video coding, the three-step search (TSS) method is often used for motion estimation, largely due to its simplicity. However, the TSS method sometimes may produce ambiguous search directions and terminate the search at a local minimum. In this paper, techniques to improve the performance of the TSS method are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
