Abstract
In this paper, a low-power full-search block matching (FSBM) motion-estimation design for the ITU-T recommendation H.263+ standard is proposed. New motion-estimation modes in H.263+ can be fully supported by our architecture. Unlike most previously presented motion-estimation chips, this design can deal with 8/spl times/8 and 16/spl times/16 block size with different searching ranges. Basically, the proposed architecture is composed of an integer pixel unit with 64 processing elements, and a half-pixel unit with interpolation, a control unit, and data registers. In order to minimize power consumption, gated-clock and dual-supply voltages are used. This design has been realized by TSMC 0.6 /spl mu/m SPTM CMOS technology. The power consumption is 423.8 mW at 60 MHz and the throughput is 36 fps in CIF format.
