Abstract

An apparatus and method are provided which produce a precise evaluation value table to realize an exact motion vector detection process. A weighting factor (W) is calculated based on information of correlation between representative point pixels and on flag correlation information based on flag data corresponding to pixel value difference data between a pixel of interest and its neighboring area pixels. A reliability index is produced based on the calculated weighting factor (W) and on an activity (A) serving as an indicator value indicative of complexity of picture data. Alternatively, a reliability index is produced based on a motion similarity between a representative point pixel and its neighboring pixels. An evaluation value table is produced in which evaluation values corresponding to the reliability indices have been integrated. In addition, a correlation determination is executed based on the pixel values or positions of featuring pixels on the periphery of the pixel of interest to determine a motion vector.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motion vector detection device, a motion vector detection method and a computer program. Specifically, the present invention relates to a motion vector detection device, a motion vector detection method, and a computer program for detecting motion vectors from moving image data. Background technique [0002] With the recent improvements in the functions of information processing equipment and communication terminals, the development of high-speed communication infrastructure, and the spread of high-density recording media such as DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, distribution of moving image data via networks, movement using high-density recording media Storage and reproduction of image data and the like are prevailing. In view of this situation, it is desired that the efficiency or speed of data processing of moving image data such as encoding or the like be improved. [0003] For example, in motion-compensated image coding for effi...
