Low power VLSI prototype for motion tracking architecture

This paper presents a low power VLSI prototype for a video object motion tracking architecture that can be used for very low bit rate online video applications. The architecture prototypes a 2D mesh-based video object motion tracking algorithm. It can be used as a building block for 2D mesh-based video object systems such as MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 systems. Moreover, the power consumption and the delay show that the prototype can be used in mobile online video applications.
