Summary :

We propose a motion estimation algorithm using less gray level images, which are composed of bits pixels lower than 8 bits pixels. Threshold values for generating low bits pixels from 8 bits pixels are simply determined as median values of pixels in a macro block. The proposed algorithm reduces the computational complexity of motion estimation at less expense of video quality. Moreover, median cut quantization can be applied to multilevel images and combined with a lot of fast algorithms to obtain more effective algorithms.
