  • Apparatus and method for enhancing motion estimation based on user input
    Patent number: 11310513
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing motion estimation based on user input are provided. The motion estimation apparatus used for video encoding comprises a receiver operable to receive a user based input and an input analysis module operable to analyzed the user based input. The apparatus also comprises an encoder that is operable to compute displacement coordinates from the analyzed user based input for a current block in a target frame of a video stream and operable to determine a search area in a reference frame to search for a best match for the current block using the displacement coordinates. The encoder can also comprise a block match module operable to find a best match block for the current block in the search area of the reference frame using a block matching procedure.
