Title Motion Estimation using Graphics Processors through OpenGL Shading Language


Presenter Wenzhe Xue


Abstract
The rapid increase in the performance of graphics hardware, coupled with 
recent improvement in its programmability, have made graphics hardware a 
compelling platform for computationally demanding tasks in a wide variety 
of application domains. General Purpose computing on GPU (GPGPU) becomes 
much more popular.

Motion Estimation is the processing of determining motion vectors that 
describe the transformation from one 2D image to another which is a major 
part of video compression.

In this presentation I will introduce the basic of GPGPU, OpenGL, and 
OpenGL Shading Language, and then I will explain what I did to accelerate 
motion estimation by using GPU.
