(57) Abstract :
There are provided a method and apparatus for reusing available motion information as a motion estimation predictor for video
encoding. The apparatus includes an encoder (100) for encoding an image block by determining a motion estimation predictor for the
image block using motion information previously generated from an element other than the encoder, and using the motion estimation
predictor in a motion estimation process to generate a motion vector for the image block. The motion estimation predictor is used in
place of at least one predictor otherwise used in the motion estimation process. The at least one predictor is any of a search window
predictor, a temporal predictor, and a block type predictor.
