This paper describes a sub-mW motion estimation processor core for MPEG-4 video encoding. It features a Gradient Descent Search algorithm whose computation power is only 7% of the...
Motion estimation is a complex computation found in video compression algorithms, such as standards like MPEG-4 and H.263. This paper proposes an embedded reconfigurable array for...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
This paper describes the design of a low-cost, low-power smart imaging core that can be embedded in cameras. The core integrates an ARM 9 processor, a camera interface and two spe...
high NRE cost. Therefore, general purpose programmable processors using software to perform various functions become more attractive since programmability can simplify system devel...
