In a first exemplary media implementation, one or more
processor-accessible media include processor-executable instructions
that, when executed, direct a device to perform actions including:
comparing an accuracy indicator to at least one threshold, the accuracy
indicator corresponding to a reference macroblock selected for a target
macroblock; ascertaining a refinement case from multiple refinement cases
based on the comparing, each refinement case of the multiple refinement
cases defining multiple test points in relation to the reference
macroblock; and analyzing the ascertained refinement case with regard to
the target macroblock. In a second exemplary media implementation, one or
more media include processor-executable instructions that, when executed,
direct a device to perform actions including: determining if two
chrominance sums have magnitudes that are each less than a first product
and four luminance sums have magnitudes that are each less than a second
product; and if so, forwarding all zero values for a macroblock.
