Abstract
A motion estimation engine may be implemented to support multiple video encoding standards. The motion estimation engine may be designed to support two macroblock partitioning modes: one for frame type video signals and the other for mixed frame-field type video signals. Additionally, the motion estimation engine provides the mixing unidirectional option (forward/backward) and the mixing bidirectional option. Furthermore, the motion estimation engine may use a unified 5-tap interpolation filter for fractional macroblock search during motion estimation.
