Abstract
An apparatus for encoding input images and methods of operating the same result in a video encoder that improves compression performance of the video encoder engine. The video encoder comprises image interpolation resources configured to interpolate an input image to provide an interpolated input image. Block matching resources is coupled to the image interpolation resources having a last encoder input image to provide a best match input image from the interpolated input image in response to the last encoder input image. An encoder engine is coupled to the block matching resources to provide the last encoder input image to the block matching resources and to encode the best match input image.
