Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods used in motion estimation and in other systems where sets of values of numbers are compared. The comparison can use a modified form of summing difference values where portions of the total can be pre-computed. Other difference values can be generated by summing generated filtered values in a cost-effective manner in terms of computing resources and time. The concept of the filtered values can continue to any desired level of refinement. Other concepts disclose multiple methods of computing distance values and systems that can easily switch between the multiple methods.
