Quad Full-HD Transform Engine for Dual-Standard Low-Power Video Coding

Transform engine is a critical part of the video codec, and increased coding efficiency often comes at the cost of increased complexity in the transform module. In this work, we propose a shared transform engine for H.264/AVC and VC-1 video coding standards, using the structural similarity and symmetry of the transforms. An approach to eliminate an explicit transpose memory in 2-D transforms is pr...
