Fast motion estimation algorithm based on the inputted stream information is proposed for the down-sizing video transcoding. The predicted motion vector is synthesized by using the motion vectors and coefficients of the inputted stream. The conformity of the motion vectors in the related region is analyzed. The search strategy of motion estimation is adjusted according to the predicted motion vector, the conformity and the frame activity. Experimental results show that, this algorithm reduces above 20% of encoder time as compared to the diamond search algorithm, while it maintains a reasonable video quality. It also achieves higher performance and better quality than AMVR-DIM algorithm.
