ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for determining a motion vector representing a displacement between a current frame and a previous frame of video signals comprises an error detector for comparing the error functions calculated from block matching sections to each other and selecting M number error functions in the order of their magnitude beginning from a smallest, a displacement vector selector for selecting M number of displacement vectors from displacement vectors generated from candidate block formation sections, a candidate block selector for selecting M number of candidate blocks, M number of boundary matching sections for generating M sets of boundary differences, M number of comparison and counting sections for comparing boundary differences in one of the M sets of boundary differences with a predetermined value, to count the number of the boundary differences having a value larger than the predetermined value; and an optimum motion vector selector for selecting a counted number having a minimum value to determine one of said M number of displacement vectors which corresponds to the selected counted number, as the motion vector for the search block.
