A video processing method includes generating a first down-sampled block by down-sampling a first block included in a first frame; generating a plurality of second down-sampled blocks by down-sampling a second block included in a second frame; selecting one of the plurality of second down-sampled blocks by comparing the first down-sampled block and each of the plurality of second down-sampled blocks; and determining, based on the first down-sampled block and the one selected second down-sampled block, a motion vector whereby the second block points to the first block, wherein the plurality of second down-sampled blocks are generated using down-sampling methods that are different from each other with respect to samples of the second block.

Method and apparatus for determining motion vector in video

A motion vector estimation method of a motion vector estimation apparatus are provided. The motion vector estimation method of the motion vector estimation apparatus includes: determining a motion vector of a current block by setting, in another frame, a local search area for searching a plurality of reference pixel blocks corresponding to the current block which is one of pixel blocks in a single frame; and finally determining one of the determined motion vector and a previous motion vector referred to in order to determine the local search area as a motion vector of the current block, based on sum of absolution difference (SAD) values of the reference pixel blocks included in the local search area.

Motion vector estimation method and motion vector estimation apparatus

A hierarchical motion prediction apparatus and method. The hierarchical motion prediction method splits a current frame and a reference frame into pixel groups, changes a pixel location of each pixel group, and selects one pixel, and thus resolutions of the current frame and reference frame are reduced. A motion vector of a down-sampled current block is obtained based on a down-sampled current frame and reference frame, and is expanded to a motion vector of an original resolution based on a down sampling rate.

Hierarchical motion estimation method and apparatus based on adaptive sampling

The method for encoding data includes: receiving data; determining one quantizer from among a plurality of quantizers having a same quantization step size and different offset values; and transmitting an indicator and a quantized coefficient related to the determined quantizer. The method for decoding data includes: receiving an indicator and a quantized coefficient related to a quantizer; determining one de-quantizer from among a plurality of de-quantizers by using the indicator; and acquiring reconstructed data by de-quantizing the quantized coefficient by using the determined de-quantizer.
