Abstract
An apparatus may include a memory to receive an image frame to encode; and a modular motion estimation engine to process the image frame. The modular motion estimation engine includes modular motion estimation circuitry comprising a multiplicity of motion estimation circuits, and a motion estimation kernel for execution on the modular motion estimation circuitry to send the image frame through one or more configurable execution pipelines that each execute motion estimation over one or more of the motion estimation circuits.
