چکیده

Context Adaptive Variable Length Decoding (CAVLD) module takes the lion chair of the H.264/AVC video decoder time due to its complexity. In order to ameliorate decoding speed, a new CAVLD algorithm and an efficient internal memory design were implemented on Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The proposed CAVLD algorithm, Zero Length Prefix (ZLP), was designed to optimize the first syntax element: the CoeffToken. ZLP implementation reduces CAVLD execution time to 21% instead of 41% from decoding time with a throughput of 1.28 MegaMB/s. In addition, the decoder speed was increased from 36 frames per second (fps) to 44 fps for a CIF compressed bitstream.

SAD implementation and optimization for H.264/AVC encoder on TMS320C64 DSP

Motion estimation in video coding standards, such as H.264/AVC, is considered to be the most timeconsuming encoding module. Motion estimation is generally performed on a 16x16 block, although in H.264/AVC, 7 different block sizes (16x16, 16x8, 8x16, 8x8, 8x4, 4x8 and 4x4) are allowed. The aim of this paper is to optimise the implementation of the motion estimation algorithm on the Texas Instrum...

High-throughput low-cost VLSI architecture for AVC/H.264 CAVLC decoding

This study develops a low-cost very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) hardware architecture for entropy coding with increased throughput using the statistical properties of context-based adaptive variable-length coding (CAVLC) in AVC/H.264. Statistical analyses show that better symbol length prediction was achieved by breaking the recursive dependency among codewords for the multi-symbol decoder i...

Priority-Based Heading One Detector in H.264/AVC Decoding

A novel priority-based heading one detector for Exp-Golomb/CAVLC decoding of H.264/AVC is presented. It exploits the statistical distribution of input encoded codewords and adopts a nonuniform partition decoding scheme for the detector. Compared with a conventional design without power optimization, the power consumption can be reduced by more than 3 times while the performance is maintained an...

Very-large-scale integration design of a low-power and cost-effective context-based adaptive variable length coding decoder for H.264/AVC portable applications

Context-based adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC) is a new and efficient entropy coding tool in H.264/AVC (advanced video coding). This study proposes a low-power and cost-effective CAVLC decoding architecture for the H.264/ AVC baseline profile. Specifically, this study proposes an optimum two-layer power model for the variable length look-up table (VLUT) in the CAVLC decoder, and divides ...
