A very important component in video coding systems is the Motion Estimation (ME), that excels not only in computational cost, but off-chip memory bandwidth consumption as well. These two issues are considered critical constraints for video coding systems, especially for High Definition (HD) videos, since a large volume of data must be processed. This work presents an energy and memory bandwidth reduction...
