It is based on the maximization of a statistical robust matching function, which is computed in the frequency domain and therefore can be implemented by fast transformation algorithms. We show that our method achieves a significant speed up and robustness over the full search block-matching algorithm. We also present a comparative performance analysis, which shows that the proposed method greatly outperforms the state-of-the-art in correlation motion estimation.}, isbn = {978-1-4244-0366-0}, doi = {10.1109/ICME.2006.262425}, author = {Essannouni, F. and Thami, R.
