Optimized EDDR Design for Motion estimation applications

Abstract

Given the critical role of motion estimation (ME) in a video coder, testing such a module is of priority concern. While focusing on the testing of ME in a video coding system, this work presents an error detection and data recovery (EDDR) design, based on the residue-and-quotient (RQ) code, to embed into ME for video coding testing applications. An error in processing elements (PEs), i.e. key components of a ME, can be detected and recovered effectively by using the proposed EDDR design. Experimental results indicate that the proposed Error Detection and Data Recovery design for motion estimation testing can detect errors and recover data with an acceptable area overhead and timing penalty. The functional verification and synthesis can be done by using any version of Xilinx ISE
