Abstract
The codec processor includes an SRAM that holds a reference image read from an image storage, and a motion search unit that performs motion search on the basis of a reference image held in the SRAM to generate a prediction block for a target block in an input image. The SRAM holds a reference image having a horizontally equivalent number of pixels to a horizontal number of pixels of the input image and a number of pixels vertically larger than or equal to a vertical motion search range.
