Many adaptive methods have been proposed to reduce the amount of computation involved in ME. In this paper, two improvements are added to the technique using Directional Adaptive Search Window (DASW) method: Directional search process and Early termination. DASW alone can achieve a savings in number of search point computations of between 42 to 60. By introducing Early Termination(ET) into motion estimation using DASW, the number of computations could be reduced even further since the search process is terminated immediately if the block is considered as a stationary block. However, DASW-ET incurs a slight degradation of less than 1dB, in PSNR performance. ©2007 IEEE. date: 2007 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-57949100193&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2007.4658476&partnerID=40&md5=d5de81fd58d57a86f70fe46050fbe1dc id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2007.4658476 full_text_status: none publication: 2007 International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2007 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 691-695 refereed: TRUE isbn: 1424413559; 9781424413553 citation: Chew, N.F.F. and Badruddin, N. and Jeoti, V.
