Abstract

Techniques related to providing motion estimation for arbitrary pixel block shapes are discussed. Such techniques may include generating a distortion mesh for a pixel block based on multiple calls to a motion estimation such that the distortion mesh includes distortion values associated with regions of the pixel block, a seed motion vector, and candidate motion vectors, and determining a best motion vector for the pixel block based on the distortion mesh.
