Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工程技術研究所 === 81 === In this thesis, we present a VLSI architecture and chip for motion estimation full-search blocking-matching algorithm Motion estimation is an important technique for the video image compression systems. FSBMA is simple and has optimal solution for motion estimation, but it requires huge amount of computation. In order to satisfy the requirement of real-time image compression system, we propose a VLSI architecture for FSBMA. Such an architecture exhibits both SIMD and systolic behavior. With small amount of pin-count, a high-performance FSBMA-based motion estimator is still possibly to be developed. For tracking range from -8 to +7, the architecture to finish motion estimation for each 16*16 block requires 1252 cycles. A VLSI chip has been implemented and fabricated for such architecture, based on a 0.8 .mu.m CMOS technology by full custom design methodology. The chip consists of 85736 transistors and has a die size of 0.23 square centimeter. It is packaged as a 68-pin PGA chip. Testing results have shown that this chip is functional correct and can operate at 23 MHz. It is satisfied the requirement of the H.261 and MPEG standard.
