  • Patent number: 10395375
    Abstract: A device for motion estimation in video image data is provided. The device comprises a motion estimation unit (11, 21) for estimating a current motion vector for an area of a current image by determining a set of temporal and/or spatial candidate motion vectors and selecting a best motion vector from the set of candidate motion vectors. The motion estimation unit (11, 21) is further adapted for substantially doubling one or more of the candidate motion vectors and for including the one or more substantially doubled candidate motion vectors in the set of candidate motion vectors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 27, 2019
    Assignee: Entropic Communications, LLC
    Inventors: Abraham Karel Riemens, Marcel Melters
