This work introduces a direct method called FIXATION for solving the general motion vision problem. This Fixation method results in a constraint equation between translational and rotational velocities that in combination with the Brightness-Change Constraint Equation (BCCE) solves the general motion vision problem, arbitrary motion with respect to an arbitrary rigid environment. Neither Correspondence nor Optical Flow has been used here. Recently Direct Motion Vision methods have used the BCCE for solving the motion vision problem of special motions or environments. In contrast to those solutions, the Fixation method does not put such severe restrictions on the motion or the environment.

In recent years, the internet has been in widespread use and the number of internet subscribers increased quickly. Hence a lot of applications on the network have been developed, multimedia programs especially. Whereas the original video content always takes up considerable storage and transmission time which doesn¡¦t suit for network application, many video compression standards have been drawn up in the literature Due to the temporal redundancy of the video sequences, motion estimation / compensation has been widely used in many interframe video coding protocols to reduce the required bit rates for transmission and storage of video signals by eliminating it, such as the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, H.261 and H.263. The performance and speed of the interframe motion estimation method for video sequence compression are the important issues especially in networking application such as video conference and video on demand. Today all motion estimating method find out the estimating point which has minimal Mean Square Error, and motion compensation aim at estimating error to do JPEG. compression. As everyone knows, JPEG employs DCT to eliminate the correlation of spatial domain. So the best motion estimating point is the point which has the minimal compressed data size. In some alalyses show that over 50% best estimating point do not have the minimal compressed data size. So the factor which effects the compressed data size is correlation coefficient and not MSE. Hence, we try to define a new criterion for motion estimation which can get better motion compensation with less compressing bit rate. To reach this goal, we try to find out the correlation among the motion compensation as the new criterion for motion estimation.
