Motion Estimation and Motion Compensation

Motion estimation and motion compensation are two aspects related to video compression. These techniques detect the redundant information, remove it, calculate residual error and thus produce a compressed media ready for transmission. Original data can be precisely obtained at the receiver output. Video compression techniques save bandwidth and improve transmission speeds.

Introduction to Video Compression

 Video Compression tries to eliminate the


temporal redundancy between adjacent frames.
 Once the redundancies are removed the object
requires less memory space. So being smaller in
size, it takes less time for transmission over the
network.
 This in turn significantly reduces storage and
transmission costs.
Motion estimation
 The basic principle of motion estimation is that in most cases,
consecutive video frames will be similar except for changes
induced by objects moving within the frames

For each block in current frame find a matching


block from consecutive frame, so that only the (relatively
small) Residual Error Picture and its corresponding Motion
Vectors are encoded.

The problem for motion estimation to solve is how to


effectively represent the changes between two video frames.

Motion estimation applies a comprehensive two-


dimensional spatial search in order to find the best match for
each block.
Motion compensation
 Motion compensation is a technique that uses the
temporal redundancy between frames in a video
sequence to compress the data. The prediction for the
next frame is estimated by the motion between frames.
Once a motion estimate has been made, the algorithm
only transmits the difference between two frames,
which is contained in the motion information and the
estimation error. If the motion estimation is good, a high
rate of the compression can be achieved.
 In this technique the picture is divided into two parts: the
motion vectors, which estimate the motion in the picture,
and the residual, which is the error between the actual
image and its estimate. In lossless coding, both the exact
motion vector and a version of the residual must be
transmitted. However, if the motion estimation is good,
only the motion vector need be transmitted.
