  • Publication number: 20050226079
    Abstract: Memory methods and apparatuses providing for refresh and bandwidth enhancements for a dual-port memory array (e.g. a DRAM memory array) with balanced read and write timing specifications are disclosed. A port allocation for dual-port memory cell is adopted such that one port is assigned and shared for both read and refresh and the other port is assigned for write only. Double bandwidth is achieved by overlapping simultaneous read or refresh and write port access during the same cycle. No external refresh command is required and external accesses (reads and writes) are not interrupted or delayed under any circumstance. A high-speed SRAM compatible device can be fabricated from a dual-port DRAM or 3-Transistor cells or 2-Transistors and 1 capacitor cells. The preferred embodiments include a multi-bank dual-port memory array and a look-up-table logic which records the accessed word address and generates hit logic and idle cycles when a refresh stall is asserted by a refresh-jammed bank.

  • Patent number: 5721595
    Abstract: A process for obtaining a motion vector for motion estimation used in a video image analysis, utilizing a block matching algorithm, which has the effect of reducing the computational load that is placed on the hardware logic used for implementation of the process. In a process of obtaining the absolute error value for the compared image block, a preliminary comparison is performed for every processed pixel in the image block to determine if the set minimum value of the absolute error function represented by a motionless tolerance constant is achieved. It is not necessary to obtain every actual value of the absolute error function. The block matching scheme of providing motion estimation enables hardware implementing the process to discontinue processing if the desired motion vector is selected prior to all image blocks being compared.

  • Patent number: 5652625
    Abstract: An apparatus for implementing motion estimation block matching for video image processing. The apparatus receives pixel data of original and compared image blocks for comparison, to obtain an image motion vector. The apparatus has a multi-stage pipelined tree-architecture that includes a computation stage, a summation section, an accumulation stage, and a minimum value evaluation stage. The computation stage includes 2.sup.n computation members for producing a difference error value and a sign bit of the compared image blocks. The summation section coupled at the pipelined stage next to the computation stage, includes a series of summation stages for producing an absolute error value of the compared image blocks. A following accumulation stage adds an output of the single adder means of the last summation stage and a last un-added sign bit, for producing a sum.
