1.This paper presents a novel fast motion estimation (ME) algorithm for shape coding in MPEG-4, which takes full advantage of the correlation between adjacent binary alpha blocks (BABs) and the match characteristics of boundary BABs.
2.Abstract: The optimal population size for genetic algorithm based on repeated natural number coding is studied.The existence and a lower boundary of the optimal population size are given.These results supply a guide to genetic algorithm operations in solving practical problems.
