Verification Strategy
Multiple testbenches will be developed with known motion vectors and random stimulus. These testbenches will be applied to the design and results will be evaluated and compared against the design goals.
- Known motion vector testbenches for baseline verification
- Random stimulus testing for robustness validation
- Performance benchmarking against 15 FPS target
- Power and area analysis verification
