Abstract

Although the fast ME/DE provides significant complexity reduction, a high-throughput hardware architecture is required for real-time ME/DE in MVC. Without a dedicated hardware, ME/DE for MVC in real-time mobile application is unfeasible. Therefore, in addition to our fast ME/DE algorithm we propose a novel motion and disparity estimation hardware architecture designed to provide real-time MVC encoding for up to four views HD1080p (1920 × 1080) based on the proposed fast ME/DE algorithm. Firstly, we are going to start presenting a high-level architectural template description. The architectural template, presented in Sect. 5.1, will give the required basis for a better understanding of the proposed architecture.
