Implementation of Low Power and High Flexibility Multimedia codecs
ORGANIZERS
Myung Hoon Sunwoo, Ajou University, Korea
SYNOPSIS
The next generation multimedia codec requires high compression ratio, high flexibility, and low power consumption to support various mobile applications such as mobile phones, digital cameras, handheld game machines, navigations, PDAs, etc. In order to satisfy these requirements, cutting-edge technologies from circuit and architecture levels to algorithm level have been widely investigated. This special session focuses on the circuit analysis, design, and implementation of multimedia codec to improve the performance and to reduce the complexity of multimedia systems.
This session consists of 6 contribution papers from leading researchers in the area of multimedia. The sophisticated motion estimation algorithms are presented in [1] and [2]. Next, the unified inverse transform circuit for MPEG-4, VC-1 and H.264 standards and the dynamic range compression algorithm for mobile display devices are proposed in [3] and [4], respectively. Finally, the paper [5] introduces the impact of semiconductor process variation on the timing characteristics of MTCMOS Flip-Flops that are used for Low-Power Mobile Multimedia Applications.
