A motion estimation architecture allowing the execution of a variety of block-matching search techniques is presented in this
paper. The ability to choose the most efficient search technique with respect to speeding up the process and locating the
best matching target block leads to the improvement of the quality of service and the performance of the video encoding. The
proposed architecture is pipelined to efficiently support a large set of currently used block-matching algorithms including
Diamond Search, 3-step, MVFAST and PMVFAST. The proposed design executes the algorithms by providing a set of instructions
common for all the block-matching algorithms and a few instructions accommodating the specific actions of each technique.
Moreover, the architecture supports the use of different search techniques at the block level. The results and performance
measurements of the architecture have been validated on FPGA supporting maximum throughput of 30 frames/s with frame size
