MOTION DETECTION METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A motion detecting method, for detecting a motion between a first image and a second image, the motion detecting method comprising:
- performing an edge detecting calculation upon the first and the second images to categorize a plurality of pixels within the first and the second images; and
detecting the motion between the first and the second images according to categorizing results of the pixels within the first and the second images.

Abstract
A motion detection apparatus and related method for detecting motions between a first image and a second image are disclosed. The motion detection apparatus includes an edge detection module and a motion detection unit. The edge detection module performs an edge detecting operation on the first and second images so as to categorize a plurality of pixels in the first and second images. The motion detection unit is coupled to the edge detection module. According to the categorizing results of the pixels in the first and second images, the motion detection unit detects motion between the first and second images.
