Title: REVERSE, SUB-PIXEL BLOCK MATCHING: APPLICATIONS WITHIN H.264 AND ANALYSIS OF LIMITATIONS

Abstract: In this paper the concept of reverse block matching is introduced based on the relativity of motion, especially, the translational motion. As one of the main applications for this technique, sub-pixel motion estimation is revisited to achieve faster, yet efficient video coding when it is to be deployed on a system with limited memory and data caching requirements. Analysis of direct (conventional) and reverse (proposed) sub-pixel motion estimation at the encoder is provided to identify the sources of mismatch between these two techniques. Finally, experimental results are provided for sub-pixel motion estimation, using the reverse block matching scheme within the H.264 encoder. These results show a significant increase in speed and a reduction of required memory at a reasonable cost, in terms of PSNR degradation, when compared to the fastest direct sub-pixel motion estimation methods currently implemented in the reference H.264 codec.
