Array architectures for block matching algorithms

A description is given of VLSI architectures for block-matching algorithms utilizing systolic array processors. A well-known mapping procedure has been applied to derive the array processors from the algorithm. Examples of two- and one-dimensional systolic arrays are presented. The transistor-count of the architectures using presently available CMOS technology and their maximum processable frame rates for real-time computation of video signals have been estimated.<
