Abstract: A technique for computing perceptual noise in an audio signal that is computationally efficient. In one example embodiment, the technique includes computing perceptual noise in an input audio signal. The steps involve pre-computing NER (noise-to-excitation ratio) values associated with critical bands within a frame by zeroing out associated spectral coefficient values before the quantization loop, and also assuming bands with lower spectral energy than the band under consideration are zeroed out during quantization. When a critical band is zeroed out during quantization, the associated NER values which have been pre-computed are used in computing an overall perceptual distortion of the frame.

Abstract: A motion estimation algorithm finds the best match for a given block or macroblock so that the resulting error signal has very low energy level which is computed, for e.g., by the SAD method. The motion estimation algorithm also provides for an optional sub-pixel level estimation and an inter4v search, and allows for restricting the number of searches for a Frame-frame ME (motion estimation) using Top-Top and Bottom-Bottom field MEs. The algorithm provides for a selective early exit and enables selecting a suitable search area with N candidate points (4 to 8) for starting the search. The search is conducted progressively till a minimum error signal (low energy level signal) is reached. The candidate points for search may be in a diamond shaped configuration, and there may be a plurality of successive diamond configurations, the number of which is configurable. The invention has application in MPEG-4 and H.264 standards.
