Cache-based integer motion/disparity estimation for quad-HD H.264/AVC and HD multiview video coding

To provide more vivid perception, more and more advanced features, like the 4k×2k resolution and the multiview functionality, are emerging for TV. For a multiview video coding (MVC) encoder, motion and disparity estimation (ME/DE) take at least half the hardware requirement. To solve these challenges, a cache-based integer ME/DE algorithm is proposed. With a cache memory as the search window buffer, a predictor-centered ME/DE algorithm is presented. The search range can be reduced to ±16 pixels with less than 0.1dB quality drop compared with full search algorithm. Based on this algorithm, an integer ME/DE chip design is realized. It can reduce 82% on-chip SRAM and 39% system bandwidth. Moreover, the search candidate requirement is also reduced by 79%. As the result, an ME/DE chip design for 4k×2k quad-HD H.264 and HDTV MVC is implemented.
