and where Ht is the residue subband and Mt the motion information.
MCJ2K uses an hierarchical motion estimation algorithm that, alghought is sub-optimal, is fast enought for real-time coding:
Let s the sub-pixel accuracy. After the over-pixel ME stage, the refinement of Mit continues following the next algorithm:
