This paper presents a block-based motion vector search algorithm for video coding based on an interpolation scheme of search blocks. The basic idea of motion vector estimation between frames is to select a block in the previous frame that best matches a block in the current frame by minimizing the difference between them. In most of the search algorithms, however, the best-match block can only be on a pre-defined grid pattern. Although using a pre-defined pattern increases the search efficiency, it may also reduce the search accuracy. To balance the two aspects and to fully utilize the block information, we propose a strategy, which, instead of selecting from pre-defined blocks, searches for a best match interpolated from the pre-defined blocks. Experiment results demonstrate a better accuracy and efficiency of this search method than some commonly-used methods for different kinds of motion.
