Cet article propose une méthode pour améliorer la qualité d'image de l'estimation de mouvement (ME) à l'aide d'images à bits faibles. En utilisant des images aux bords améliorés pour la quantification, nous pouvons augmenter la précision du ME et améliorer la qualité de l’image. Il est connu que l’utilisation d’images à faible résolution pour l’EM est efficace pour réduire la consommation d’énergie, mais elle dégrade légèrement la qualité de l’image. La qualité de l'image codée dépend des seuils de quantification des données, c'est pourquoi des algorithmes de détermination des seuils sont étudiés. La méthode proposée utilise une quantification linéaire, qui tronque simplement les bits les moins significatifs. Cette méthode est simple, sans aucun calcul de seuil compliqué, et la qualité de l'image résultante est autant améliorée que les méthodes utilisant des calculs de seuil. Pour évaluer l'efficacité, nous simulons les résultats de la qualité de l'image et estimons la consommation d'énergie à l'aide des résultats de synthèse d'un estimateur de mouvement de modèle VHDL.

Abstract: This paper propose a method for improving the image quality of motion estimation (ME) using low-bit images. By using edge-enhanced images for quantization, we can increase the accuracy of the ME and improve the image quality. It is known that using low-bit images for ME is effective for reducing power consumption but it slightly degrades image quality. The quality of the encoded image depends on the thresholds for data quantization, thus, algorithms for determining thresholds are studied. The proposed method uses linear quantization, which simply truncates the least significant bits. This method is simple without any complicated threshold calculations, and the resultant image quality is improved as much as the methods that use threshold calculations. To evaluate the effectiveness, we simulate results for image quality and estimate the power consumption using synthesis results from a VHDL model motion estimator.
