Abstract :
This paper will present the design of a MIMD pixel processor, performing motion estimation and other pixel computations for high quality MPEG-2 video coding systems. Unique features of the chip are the implementation of a genetic block matching algorithm, as well as special connections to support a cascaded coding of the video signal minimising the typical impairments produced by such operations
