Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for image or frame processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. In some aspects, the apparatus may identify a discontinuity between at least one first region of a first frame and at least one second region of a second frame, the at least one first region corresponding to the at least one second region. The apparatus may also determine whether the discontinuity between the at least one first region and the at least one second region is greater than or equal to a motion estimation threshold. The apparatus may also skip a motion estimation for the at least one first region and the at least one second region when the discontinuity between the at least one first region and the at least one second region is greater than or equal to the motion estimation threshold.
