A hybrid block matching motion estimation approach for fractal video compression

Fractal video compression is an attractive technique for video coding due to its distinct features and low bit rate video application. Fractal video compression is based on self similarity concept just as in image compression. Fractal video compression requires more computational complexity for reducing this computational complexity different techniques has been employed. This paper proposed fractal video compression using block matching motion estimation techniques that is a new hybrid technology consist of efficient three step search and cross hexagonal search. Efficient three step search requires lesser search points and getting good result in terms of compression ratio, time complexity than three step search. new three step search, Diamond and four step search, Cross Hexagonal search requires the lesser search points and obtained the good result than novel and enhanced hexagonal search.
