Abstract

One of the most time-consuming computational load in high-speed video systems is motion estimation being used as a main part of the inter-frame video compression. In this paper basic approaches to motion estimation and matching criteria used are discussed. These two concepts represent the main computational load of the compression process. As the most promising concept one-dimensional hierarchical search with block-matching algorithms is proposed. Then a hardware architecture is designed with application of parallelization and pipelining to achieve high speed and low hardware cost.

Annotation

A case study for the optimal design of parallel and pipelined hardware unit.
