Motion Estimation using Block Matching Algorithm

With the recent advances in video technology, there is an increasing need for a more reliable, efficient and robust generic framework for video processing and its analysis. In this regard the Motion estimation has for many years demanding area of research because of its diversity of use in real-time applications. Motion estimation using block matching algorithm is used in many applications in video processing. This paper presents a review of motion estimation based on block matching algorithm and also includes analytical study of fixed and variable block matching algorithms
