An Overview of Motion Estimation Algorithms

With emergence of new technologies for enhancing user experience such as 3-D television results in larger amount of video data to be processed and transmitted. Video compression is likely to be an essential component of video processing for many years to come as bandwidth of todays network is limited. It is well known that in the coding pipeline, motion estimation and motion compensation are most important and time consuming components. There is need of efficient coding and decoding with development of new range of real time applications. In this paper we have presented overview of various motion estimation algorithms.
