Abstract: 
The limitation of processing power, battery life and memory capacity of portable terminals requires reducing encoding complexity in mobile communications. motion estimation (ME) is the most computationally intensive module in a typical video codec, which determines not only the encoder’s performance but also the reconstructed video quality. In this paper, a fast ME algorithm for H.264/AVC baseline profile coding is proposed based on the analysis of motion vector field and error surface, and the statistical distributions of different type macroblocks (MBs). Simulation results showed that: in comparison with MVFAST, the proposed algorithm can decrease the computational load over 7.2% with no requirement of expanding memory capacity while maintaining the same video quality as MVFAST. Furthermore, its simplicity makes it easy to be implemented on hardware.
