Abstract

Emerging 3D-integration enables integrating high quality image sensors with various massively parallel processing elements. Analog motion estimation is one potential application, which is likely to result in significant benefits in the form of low power or high frame-rate 3D-integrated image sensorprocessors. The system-level operation of a proposed analog motion estimation array, enabling all various block sizes from 4x4 to 16x16 is examined. The analog motion estimation circuitry has been designed as a 32x32 test array in 0.13 μm CMOS technology. The transistor-level simulation results combined with H.264/AVC JM 14.2 show equivalent rate-distortion results with SAD as the error measure and an approximately 7% increase in bitrate with a slight increase in image quality for SSE.
