Live Demonstration: A Low-Power Dual-Core Motion Estimation Chip Design and Validation for a Wireless Panoramic Endoscopy

Abstract

A low-power motion estimation chip is designed for a wireless panoramic endoscope system. This chip consists of two motion estimation cores and is implemented by a dual-Vdd low-power technique. The proposed technique is efficient in decreasing power consumption without reducing the operation frequency of the chip. From the full-function chip measurements, this dual-Vdd chip can reduce power consumption by 20%~40% than the operation in single-Vdd for different clock frequencies.
