Abstract
An adaptive search range method for motion/disparity estimation is provided in multi-view video coding (MVC) technology. The method uses a initial search range as a first search range, perform an estimation flow for first blocks in a first frame to obtain vector distribution, and obtain at least a first candidate search range in accordance with the vector distribution. The first candidate search range is selected as a second search range to perform estimation flow for second blocks in a second frame, and an estimation vector according to the estimation flow is obtained and provided as video coding.
