Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電子工程學系 === 85 === In this thesis, a VLSI architecture for motion estimation baed on a hierarchical-search block matching algorithm (HSBMA) is developed. The proposed architecture can deal with the full- search block matching algorithm(FSBMA) as well. To meet the real-time requirement of MPEG-2 MP@ML, parallelprocessing is in great demand. Adopting semi-systolic array (SSA) architecture, 100% hardware efficiency can be achieved within processingelement (PE) array. This proposed architecture mainly consists of fiveunits, namely control unit, memory bank unit, 2-D processing element array,summation unit and comparison unit. The key feature of this design is that the maximum possible reuse of overlapped search area pixels is considered,which can reduce the bandwidth of the frame memory interface. Also, scalabledesign is included. By cascading several chips, we can process the referenceblock with different sizes. Based on 0.6um Compass library and TSMC 0.6um SPDM process technology, clock up to 71.4 MHz can be achieved. The resultimplies that this chip can meet the real time requirement of MPEG-2 MP@MLencoding.
