Abstract
Provided are an encoding system using motion estimation and an encoding method using motion estimation for achieving high-speed motion estimation according to a multi-processing unit. The encoding system using motion estimation, comprises a multi-processing unit calculating motion estimation on many macroblocks of an input image, a motion estimator estimating motion vectors of the macroblocks of the input image using the motion estimation on the plurality of macroblocks, previously calculated by the multi-processing unit, and an encoder encoding the image based on the motion vectors of the macroblocks, estimated by the motion estimator. According to the present invention, motion estimation to be used for motion estimation can be calculated in advance according to the multi-processing unit capable of processing high-speed parallel processing to reduce an image encoding time and improve an encoding speed.
