Flexible video compression systems using an analog vector quantization chip
نویسندگان
چکیده
Vector quantization systems are usually based on digital implementation of the core operations. In this paper, video compression systems exploiting an analog implementation of vector quantization are presented. The main advantages of analog design are exploited, obtaining notable performances when compared to other solutions found in the literature. The circuit features a very modular, completely parallel internal architecture. Many circuits can be easily connected to obtain a larger codebook size and a larger vector dimension. Synthesis of codebooks is also described.

The main feature of CMOS image sensors is that they allow for the introduction of processing hardware at the pixel level. Using this characteristic, it is possible to extract from the image only the desired data, thereby reducing the output data rate. The analog processing also has the advantage of enabling high-speed operation. Owing to these features, in the last few years there has been a st...
متن کاملVideo Compression using Vector Quantization
This report presents some results and findings of our work on very-lowbit-rate video compression systems using vector quantization (VQ). We have identified multiscale segmentation and variable-rate coding as two important concepts whose effective use can lead to superior compression performance. Two VQ algorithms that attempt to use these two aspects are presented: one based on residual vector ...
