PROJECT TITLE :

Realization of a hardware generator for the Sum of Absolute Difference component - 2017

ABSTRACT:

It is a known reality that an arithmetic operate implemented in hardware incorporates a higher throughput and calculation frequency than the one implemented in software, so creating the usage of hardware components imminent in applications where speed plays a vital role. Sum of absolute difference (SAD) is an arithmetic operation most often used in motion estimation algorithms and video coding consequently. This operation will become very slow when applied on massive inputs because of it's complexity and the series of additions it consists of. Electronic design automation tools will alleviate the burden of the look teams when creating new prototype hardware components. In this paper, we present an EDA tool that is ready to come up with the SAD component for arbitrary variety of inputs.
