  • Motion estimation through input perturbation
    Patent number: 11388432
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for motion estimation which may include a GPU. In one aspect, the GPU may generate at least one first motion vector in a first subset of a frame, the first motion vector providing a first motion estimation for image data in the first subset of the frame. The GPU may also perturb the image data. Also, the GPU may generate at least one second motion vector based on the perturbed image data, the second motion vector providing a second motion estimation for the image data. Moreover, the GPU may compare the first motion vector and the second motion vector. Further, the GPU may determine at least one third motion vector for the motion estimation of the image data based on the comparison between the first motion vector and the second motion vector.
    Type: Grant
