Abstract
A processor, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for performing a block matching between first data and second data are provided. The block matching is performed using an iterative process, wherein, for each iteration, a portion of the first data and a corresponding portion of the second data is selected using a sliding window approach. When differences data, used for block matching, is calculated for a specific subset of first and second data, many of the calculations overlap with those needed for a nearby subset. Summed area table, SAT, data used for determining the difference data is continuously stored and updated in a buffer, such that overlapping computations can be avoided.
