Abstract
A method for performing a motion estimation combined with a Walsh-Hadamard transform algorithm. In image frame, which includes a pixel array to display an image object, the method includes fetching a current image pixel content C and a reference image pixel content R. A Walsh-Hadamard transform algorithm is used to transform the current image pixel content C and the reference image pixel content R, so that a WHT SAD(i, j), WSAD(i,j) is computed to serve as a matching criterion. The formula for computing WSAD(i,j) is ()=()=(())=, where E is the difference macro block (MB) of a current MB and a reference MB, (x, y) is the location of current MB, (i,j) is the candidate motion vector, i.e., the location of reference MB, N is the MB size, and t=t·t', where tis a matrix by a product of two basis tand Trans[t].
