flow chart of Motion estimation block for intel ipp h.264 encoder

[suchethanswaroop]

Hi all,

Is there some document where i can find the flow diagram of motion estimation part in intelH264 encoder. The code seems to be confusing as der are many concepts involved at every point. ( like SAD, SATD used, modes used etc)

Thanks in advance

Warm regards,

Suchethan

Thanks for the input. The UMC document is considering adding some motion estimation part in the UMC manual. Hope it willprovide some help with your problem.

Thanks Chao.

It seems Usage of SATD as opposed to SAD is a flag that can be turned on explicitely in the code. May i know in which function is this flag found ?

Is der an option to do RD search ? its not present in the par file.. if so, where can i turn it on..

Thanks a ton!

Hi, please find some comment from our expert:


SAD is used in ME in speed mode, otherwise SATD. It can be set or unset manually like below:
if (core_enc->m_info.m_QualitySpeed == 0)
core_enc->m_Analyse |= ANALYSE_SAD;

RD is not used in ME, it can only be used in split decisions.

Thanks,
