Computer vision (CV) and image processing are two closely related fields that utilize techniques from artificial intelligence (AI) and pattern recognition to derive meaningful information from images, ...

Scientists introduce what they call 'simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading' or SHMT. This system doubles computer processing speeds with existing hardware by simultaneously using graphics ...

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) based digital video coding standards such as MPEG and H.26x are becoming more widely adopted for multimedia applications. Since the standards differ in their format and ...

Video processing requirements are becoming more complex as media consumption habits change and the number of consumer devices capable of displaying video increases, requiring support for an expanding ...

Figure 1. 7 stage pipelined RISC processor functional block diagram. This is a functional block diagram of a generic seven-stage pipelined RISC processor. The design achieves maximum performance when ...

This paper discusses two low-cost, low-power video processors for the mobile market. The first core is optimized for motion estimation acceleration. The second targets full video coding applications.
