Accelerator for Spatio-Temporal Video Filtering

Short Description
There are many image and video processing algorithms (e.g. calculation of Optical-Flow, or Image Domain Warps) that are usually solved using large optimization problems. The solution of such large optimization problems in real-time is difficult and sometimes even unfeasible. However, the mathematical structure of some of these problems allows us to approximate their solution by using non-linear filtering in the spatial and temporal domain. These filters scale better in terms of computational complexity than the corresponding optimization problems, and therefore would allow to perform certain video processing steps more efficiently.
In this project, we would like to implement the core parts of an efficient STEA filtering algorithm which has recently been developed in collaboration with Disney Research Zurich.
