TLDR
In this article, a motion vector suitable for motion-compensated prediction in an inter-frame differential video coder is derived by comparison of each block of a current frame and with shifted corresponding region of a previous frame with the regions of the previous frame.
Abstract
A motion vector suitable for motion-compensated prediction in an inter-frame differential video coder is derived by comparison of each block of a current frame and with shifted corresponding region of a previous frame with the regions of the previous frame. Rather than dealing with each block in turn, the apparatus carries out all comparisons involving a line n of the video signal before commencing comparisons involving n+p (where p is the number of lines encompassed by a block).

Method and apparatus for determining motion vectors for image sequences

TL;DR: In this article, a block-based motion estimation method is used to determine motion vectors for blocks of pixels in a current frame or field, where only a portion of blocks from a predetermined pattern of blocks in the current frame and field are searched for a match with a block of pixels from a previous frame and/or field over a designated search area.
