ABSTRACT:
A motion estimation method and system for a video coder are disclosed. The system comprises an input for a video image to be coded. It also comprises a hierarchical series of motion estimators of varying complexity, for estimating a motion vector field between the received image and a reference image. The subsequent motion estimator in the series is selected by a control means if a prediction error associated with the motion vector field estimated by the currently selected motion estimator exceeds a predetermined threshold. When available, inherited and predicted motion information is used to improve prediction quality.
