Abstract

Motion estimation have a significant impact in H.265 video coding systems because it occupies a large amount of time in encoding. So the quality of motion search algorithm affect the entire encoding efficiency directly. In this paper, a novel search algorithm which utilizes an adaptive hexagon and small diamond search is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the traditional block matching algorithm implemented in the most current video coding standards. The adaptive search pattern is chosen according to the motion strength of the current block. When the block is in active motion, the hexagon search provides an efficient search means; when the block is inactive, the small diamond search is adopted. Simulation results showed that our approach can speed up the search process with little effect on distortion performance compared with other adaptive approaches.
