As the development of network learning, video compression is important for both data transmission and storage, especially in a digit channel. In this paper, we present the return prediction search (RPS) algorithm for block motion estimation. The proposed algorithm exploits the temporal correlation and characteristic of returning origin to obtain one or two predictive motion vector and selects one motion vector, which presents better result, to be the initial search center. In addition, we utilize the center-biased block matching algorithms to refine the final motion vector. Moreover, we used adaptive threshold technique to reduce the computational complexity in motion estimation. Experimental results show that RPS algorithm combined with 4SS, BBGDS, and UCBDS effectively improves the performance in terms of mean-square error measure with less average searching points. On the other hand, accelerated RPS (ARPS) algorithm takes only 38% of the searching computations than 3SS algorithm, and the reconstruction image quality of the ARPS algorithm is superior to 3SS algorithm about 0.30dB in average overall test sequences. In addition, we create an asynchronous learning environment which provides students and instructors flexibility in learning and teaching activities. The purpose of this web site is to teach and display our researchable results. Therefore, we believe this web site is one of the keys to help the modern student achieve mastery of complex Motion Estimation.

This paper presents an improved video segmentation scheme, which consists of two stages: initial segmentation and motion estimation. In the initial segmentation, the watershed transformation followed by a region adjacency graph guided region merging process is used to partition the first video frame into spatial homogenous regions. Then the motion of changed region is estimated. Based on the highly efficient quadratic motion model, the motion estimation is undertaken using Gauss-Newton Levenberg-Marquardt method to minimize the least-square error function. Experimental results show the proposed scheme provides high performance in terms of segmentation accuracy and video compression ratio.

H.264/AVC standard has been widely used in video compression at various kinds of application domain. Motion estimation takes the most calculation workload of H.264/AVC encoder. Memory optimization has played an even more important role in encoder design. Firstly, dependency relation between motion vectors was analyzed and removed at a little cost of estimation accuracy decrement, and then a 3-stage macro-block level pipeline architecture was proposed to increase parallel process ability of motion estimation. Then an optimized memory organization strategy of reference frame data was put forward, aiming at avoiding row changing frequently in SDRAM access. Finally, based on the 3-stage pipeline structure, a shared cyclic search window memory was proposed: 1) data relativity between adjacent macro-block was analyzed, 2) and search window memory size was elaborated, 3) and then a slice based structure and the work process were discussed. Analysis and experiment result show that 50% of on chip memory resource and cycles for off chip SDRAM access can be saved. The whole design was implemented with Verilog HDL and integrated into a H.264 encoder, which can demo 1280*720@30 video successfully at frequency of 120MHz under a cyclone III FPGA development board.
