Wavelet Domain Half-Pixel Motion Compensation Using H-Transform

摘要

Adapting to the structure of 2-D H-Transform, this paper proposes a novel wavelet domain half-pixel motion compensation algorithm HMRME (Half-pixel Multi-Resolution Motion Estimation). The primary objective of this study is the reduction of the aliasing effect caused by the down-sampling in the wavelet transform under the complexity constraints. The conventional multi-resolution motion estimation scheme can be combined with the half-pixel interpolation method to generate a new high-performance wavelet video codec. The preliminary results show that the performance of HMRME rises above its counterparts, the Multi-Resolution Motion Estimation (MRME) and the Adaptive Multi-Resolution Motion Estimation (AMRME).
