1. A motion estimation apparatus comprising:

  • an input receiver for receiving a user input;

    an input pattern analysis unit for analyzing the received user input and determining a user input pattern according to the analyzed user input;

    a storage for storing history information of a motion vector according to the user input pattern; and

    a motion estimator for initially estimating a motion vector of a motion estimation block of a current frame with reference to the history information of the motion vector corresponding to the user input pattern stored in the storage, deciding a search location of a block matching the motion estimation block from a reference frame using the initially estimated motion vector, and performing motion estimation on the motion estimation block using the decided search location.
