Abstract
In this paper, the novel architecture of Intra-prediction & DCTQ hardware, which can process for the Full HD image($1980{\times}1088$@30fps) in realtime, is proposed. The cycle optimization method for the overall cycle of prediction, transform, scaling, descaling, and reconstruction is proposed. To reduce the cycle in the $4{\times}4$ prediction, the quantization process is performed during the prediction cycle and pre-selection of 2 modes among the 9 modes is performed to reduce the hardware area. To reduce the hardware of $16{\times}16$ and $8{\times}8$ prediction, the sharing logic between 2 prediction is utilized. The proposed architecture can process the 30frame/sec of full HD image in 108 MHz clock and operate 425 cycle for one macroblock.
