Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 工程技術研究所 === 82 === In this thesis,we present two important hardware designs for video image compression.One is motion estimation processor,the other is CoDec VLSI chip. Full-search block-matching algorithm (FSBMA) has been popularly used in the area of motion estimation for video image compression.However,it is computationally intensive.During the past,to improve the performance,a novel two-dimensional SIMD-systolic architecture has been derived for the FSBMA.Also, based on this architecture and a 0.8um CMOS technology,a VLSI motion estimation chip has been implemented and fabricated. Currently,with such a chip,a high performance motion estimation processor has been developed. Additionally,under the control of C program,this processor has been combined with PC-486 through AT-bus interface.Experimental results also have shown that the current design can compute 4000 motion vectors in one second. Quantization/Dequantization and entropy coding/decoding are also widely used techniques for video image compression.Combining them together,we propose a Codec VLSI architecture for these operations.Currently,based on a 0.8um SPDM CMOS technology,a VLSI chip has been implemented for such architecture.The chip consists of 78912 transistors and has a core size of 0.34 square centimeter.Testing results have shown that this chip is functionally correct and can complete one encoding process or decoding process for 8x8 block in 105∼169 or 134∼198 clock cycles.
