As portable handheld communication devices proliferate, vendors are adding more features, such as digital video and audio, to meet consumer demand. The ISO MPEG-4 standard is emerging as the ...

Nowadays hybrid hardware architecture (HHA) becomes increasingly popular in embedded systems (ES). In this paper HHA is presented for low bit depth motion estimation (ME) algorithm. Intellectual ...

Increasing functionalities of application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) require rather more efficient verification methods. In this paper, a novel verification model (VM) for low complexity ...

In interframe compression, the predictive frames (P and B frames) estimate and predict motion in either one or both directions. Motion estimation algorithms continue to improve even for increased ...

Imaging technology has come a long way since the beginning of photography in the mid-19th century. Now, many state-of-the-art cameras for demanding applications rely on mechanisms that are ...
