Abstract
This paper describes an ultra-low power, cache based, and programmable motion estimator with memory reduction for MPEG-4 video encoding. It exploits a low complexity motion estimation algorithm, achieving a quality comparable or superior to the full search approach with only 1% of the computation and the power consumption.
