ABSTRACT:
Estimating and/or compensating motion in a video image is provided wherein an image segment of the video image is selected, a search area is defined around the image segment, the defining being based on a range of possible motion vectors for the image segment, and image data related to said search area is retrieved. The search area is defined to have its center offset from a center of the image segment. The offset may be determined by a global motion parameter.
