This paper describes the VLSI implementation with a two-dimensional (2-D) data-reuse architecture for a full-search block-matching algorithm. Based on a one-dimensional processing element (PE) array and two data-interlacing shift-register arrays, the proposed VLSI architecture can efficiently reuse data to decrease external memory accesses and save the pin counts. It also achieves 100% hardware utilization and a high throughput rate. In addition, the same chips can be cascaded for different block sizes, search ranges, and pixel rates
