Explorer/RaspberryPi/Visualprocessing/Motionvector
The Raspberry Pi is based on a BCM2835 System on a Chip (SoC), which provides an hardware (GPU) motion estimation block to the H264 encoder.
The Coarse Motion Block (CME) compares macroblock (16×16 pixels) from two consecutive frames and output a vector where the macroblock came from.
The vector is encoded in a single 32-bit value:
- the most significant 16 bits represent a Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD = quality of the estimation, the lower is the better)
- the others 16 bits represents (8-bit signed integer) the horizontal and vertical directions
The code below, patch "raspivid" to provide a video buffer (gray scale image) with motion vectors.
The new code compiled as "raspicv", with a custom "cv.cpp" (see below), output motion vector display to /tmp/camera3
The "cv.cpp" is limited to 640x480 grayscale image in this sample.
