چکیده

A performance analysis of two distinct implementations of a recently proposed quite efficient motion estimation coprocessor is presented. This comparison considers two distinct implementation technologies: a high performance FPGA device, from Xilinx Virtex-II Pro family, and an ASIC based implementation, using a 0.18μm CMOS standard cells library. Experimental results have shown that the two considered implementations present quite similar performance levels and allow the estimation of motion vectors in real-time. Nevertheless, the reconfigurability properties of the FPGA implementation allow the motion estimator to dynamically adapt the video encoder to the characteristics of the target application and/or of the communication channel.
