A low power SIMD architecture for affine-based texture mapping

Abstract

This paper presents a novel low power SIMD architecture for texture mapping using transformation. Low power has been achieved by exploring the properties of the affine transformation to reduce the computational cost. The architecture has been prototyped using 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS technology with three layers of metal. The proposed architecture can be used in video object motion tracking and texture warping processors.
