Abstract
In this paper, we proposed the architecture of the decoder which implements the multi-view images decoding algorithm. The study of the hardware structure of the multi-view image processing has not been accomplished. The proposed multi-view images decoder operates in a three stage pipelined manner and extracts the depth of the pixels of the decoded image every clock. The multi-view images decoder consists of three modules, Node selector which transfers the value of the nodes repeatedly and Depth Extractor which extracts the depth of each pixel from the four values of the nodes and Affine transformer which generates the projecting position on the image plane from the values of the pixels and the specified viewpoint. The proposed architecture is designed and simulated by the Max+plus II design tool and the operating frequency is 30MHz. The image can be constructed in a real time by the decoder with the proposed architecture.
