This paper suggests a computer simulation environment for analysis of fast motion estimation (ME) algorithms. We present an architecture for algorithm evaluation, ME algorithms, results, of computer simulations, and illustrate the analysis with tables, FSNR plots, and performance plots. The paper also describes multi-criteria evaluation of algorithms. Two evaluation strategies are suggested: (i) a strategy with constraints and (ii) a strategy with "near" Pareto-efficient points. Four basic test video sequences were used. Our algorithm evaluation environment was effectively used as a basis for student projects.
