  • H04N 19/553 Motion estimation dealing with occlusions
  • H04N 19/557 Motion estimation characterised by stopping computation or iteration based on certain criteria, e.g. error magnitude being too large or early exit
  • H04N 19/56 Motion estimation with initialisation of the vector search, e.g. estimating a good candidate to initiate a search
