Efficient Motion Estimation with Content-Adaptive Resolution

We present a motion estimation algorithm designed to fully exploit the flexibility offered by programmable platforms. This algorithm adapts its resolution to the image content using the highest spatial accuracy only for those parts of the image where it is required, i.e. near the borders of moving objects.
