Verification methodology of motion estimation in H.264/AVC

[win3y]

Hi;

I am currently doing Motion estimation (ME) in H.264/AVC. My question is about verification methodology of motion estimation in H.264/AVC. Who has some experiences in this please help me? Could anyone interested in discuss together?

Any suggestion is welcome. Many thanks

Hi

Let me know which HDL u are using?
whether u written full RTL code for ME?

I used Verilog for RTL code. Motion estimation that I coded includes two parts: integer ME almost similar to JM reference software, and the other is fractional ME with new algorithm. However I want to make sure that RTL code with its functionality working correctly.

Thank for replying.

well as u said u use JM reference C code, give your testing bit stream to C reference code, extract the results to a text file. same you do that for HDL. compare the two files.
so that C generated result and HDL result will match if coded correctly.
use gvim editor for comparing.

Thank you for your answer.

I hope this way is good enough for verification, even it is quite difficult.
