Research Abstract

FTV (Free-viewpoint Television) and SHV (Super Hi-Vision) are two promising research targets for the next-generation video services. To achieve these targets, a crucial technology is ultra-high-throughput video encoder VLSI, with disparity/motion estimation (DME) as its core component. To meet the requirement of FTV/SHV, we developed a 2Gpixels/s DME architecture design, which is near 10 times faster than the state-of-the-art works.
