Abstract

A novel modular systolic array architecture for the full search block matching motion estimation algorithm (FBMA) is presented. The design efforts are focused on matching the array computation to system level input/output constraints. Compared to previously proposed FBMA architectures, this new architecture delivers highest throughput rate, achieves 100% processor utilization, requires much fewer input/output lines (pin count), and is linearly scalable. As such, this architecture offers a feasible solution for progressive-scan HDTV picture format
