HDTV based applications require FSBM to maintain its significantly higher resolution than traditional broadcasting formats (NTSC, SECAM, PAL). This paper proposes some techniques to increase the speed and reduce the area requirements of an FSBM hardware. These techniques are based on modifications of the Sum-of-Absolute-Differences (SAD) computation and the MacroBlock (MB) searching strategy. The design of an FSBM architecture based on the proposed approaches has also been outlined. The highlight of the proposed architecture is its split pipelined design to facilitate parallel processing of macroblocks (MBs) in the initial stages. The proposed hardware has high throughput, low silicon area and compares favorably with other existing FPGA architectures. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
