Accelerator for Spatio-Temporal Video Filtering

Short Description
Saliency estimation is an important building block in video processing applications. The goal of saliency estimation is to find visually important regions in the image, and this information can be used in further processing steps to adapt the video in a content-aware fashion. Examples for applications that use saliency estimates are "Real-time View Synthesis using Image Domain Warping" and "A Multiview Synthesis Core in 65 nm CMOS".
The goal of this project is to look into an advanced saliency estimation algorithm, and to develop an efficient hardware architecture for it. Depending on the progress, the implementation can also be prototyped on a FPGA.
