A Study on the Implementation of Low Power DCT Architecture for MPEG-4 AVC

저전력 DCT를 이용한 MPEG-4 AVC 압축에 관한 연구

In this paper we present performance and implementation comparisons of high performance two dimensional forward and inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (2D-DCT/IDCT) algorithm and low power algorithm for $8{\times}8$ 20 DCT and quantization based on partial sum and its corresponding hardware architecture for FPGA in MPEG-4. The architecture used in both low power 20 DCT and 2D IDCT is based on the conventional row-column decomposition method. The use of Fast algorithm and distributed arithmetic(DA) technique to implement the DCT/IDCT reduces the hardware complexity. The design was made using Mentor Graphics Tools for design entry and implementation. Mentor Graphics ModelSim SE6.1f was used for Verilog HDL entry, behavioral Simulation and Synthesis. The 2D DCT/IDCT consumes only 50% of the Operating Power.
