<p>A video processor according to the invention is dynamically configurable as to the attributes of the video data upon which the processor operates. Some embodiments dynamically configure the processor via a sequence of instructions, where the instructions include information on the attributes of the current video data. Some embodiments include a dynamically configurable adder array that computes difference functions thereby generating error vectors. Some embodiments include a dynamically configurable adder array that computes filtering functions applied to the video data, e.g. interpolation or decimation of the incoming video prior to motion detection. Some embodiments of the invention provide dynamically configurable hardware searches, for example, for detecting motion. Some embodiments of the invention are implemented using an adaptive computing machines (ACMs). An ACM includes a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements, each coupled to an interconnection network.</p> |
