43 * Class for getting motion vectors to pixel-accuracy
45 * The class could be implemented in any number of ways. The approach taken
46 * has been to do hierarchical matching, which means doing block matching
47 * on smaller, downcoverted versions of the pictures in order to get a wider
48 * effective search range. At each level of searching the vectors discovered
49 * can be used as guides to the next level of searching, and in this way
50 * large motions can be detected easily. The danger is that the motions of
51 * small objects can be overlooked.
