    Abstract

    The Fractional Motion Estimation (FME) is one of tools the modern video encoder AV1. This paper presents an approximate solution for the AV1 FME interpolation filters based on the approximation of the original filter coefficients intending to generate more hardware friendly coefficients. The approximated version was designed in hardware and can achieve real-time interpolation for UHD 8K videos at 30 frames per second, synthesized using 40nm TSMC standard-cells technology. The designed architecture dissipates 26.79mW which represents more than 80% power reduction compared to the original solution. The approximation implied in a small average coding efficiency degradation of 0.54% in BD-BR.
