Fuzzy based Search in Motion Estimation for Real Time Video Compression

Video compression ratio, quality and efficiency are determined by the motion estimation algorithm. Motion estimation is used to perform inter frame prediction in video sequences. The individual frames are divided into blocks the motion estimation is computed by a video codec such as H.264. A video codec computes the displacement of block between the previous frame (reference frame) and the current frame, for each block in current frame the best motion vector is determined in the reference frame as a block belongs to a current frame. In this, research paper, a novel technique has been presented for motion vector calculation, using fuzzy Gaussian membership function. The motion estimation block uses fuzzy membership function to estimate the connectedness of different blocks of the current frame to that of the reference frame The fuzzy decision matching is done based on the matching criterion and the best matching block is selected. The motion vectors are thus calculated with respect to the reference frame. The fuzzification process produces optimally matched blocks, which are then utilized to calculate the motion vectors of the predicted frame. Using fuzzy based search the search area is automatically updated and adaptive search steps provides an optimized result of search. As in real time streaming no file is exchanged during the transmission user is not able to download the file the only way for smooth transmission is frame management fuzzy based search for the motion estimation provides a better compression for the predicted frames.
