Motion Estimation Algorithms for Video Compression

Motion Estimation Algorithms for Video Compression by Borko Furht, Joshua Greenberg, Raymond Westwater.

Video technology promises to be the key for the transmission of motion video. A number of video compression techniques and standards have been introduced in the past few years, particularly the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 for interactive multimedia and for digital NTSC and HDTV applications, and H.2611H.263 f...
