Abstract

In this paper a parametrizable architecture of a motion estimator (ME) is presented. The ME is designed as a generic full pixel calculation module which can be adopted for different video standards. The parameters by which the ME is described allow for a variety of architecture implementations. The parameters specify the level of parallelism reflected by multiple allocation of computational resources, and the use of configurable cache memories. The obtained VHDL description of the ME module is well suited for VLSI implementation.
