Diamond Search for motion estimation

[bijo911]

Hi all,
I've downloaded the H.264 reference software here and tried different versions. I've found those algorithms:

• EPZS
• Full Fast Search
• Fast Search
• UMhex
• ...

I'm wondering if they implemented a version with the diamond search for motion estimation, if not, where can I find it coded in C?

Thanks for your help

diamond search is an available option implemented in x264, the open source avc encoder. You can have a look at the source

Thank you very much . I can see clearly now, because I didn't pay attention on that code, didn't see the options on the motion estimation method.
