Motion Estimation (ME) is the most computationally intensive part of video compression systems. In this paper, a high performance hardware for early terminated constrained one-bit transform (C-1BT) based low bit depth ME is proposed. The proposed early terminated C-1BT based ME hardware can process more than 30 quad full HD (3840×2160) video frames per second. The early termination algorithm reduced the energy consumption of the proposed ME hardware by 26%.
