Implementación de un algoritmo para el proceso de estimación de movimiento de un codificador basado en el estándar H.264 sobre un dispositivo hardware programable

Abstract

This work presents the design of a motion estimation algorithm that can be implemented in a programmable FPGA hardware platform, in order to support the development of universal video converters that can be easily implemented in telemedicine applications that support USTA-FCV alliance. In order to carry out this work, we analyzed needs of the project, the opportunities to contribute with the estimation of movement for programmable hardware platforms were identified as well. We studied the state of the art and the frame of reference of motion estimation techniques, generating from this acquired knowledge prototypes that were evolving until reaching an algorithm that can determine vectors of movement.
