Abstract :
In this paper a comparison between different methods for block matching in image processing with respect to the efficacy of their digital VLSI implementation is presented. In this framework a new method based on limiting the role of mismatching pixels is proposed. The results obtained on different kinds of images show that the new method achieves the best trade-off between complexity and results
