Video Coding Research Projects
Video Engine Design Methodology Rules (2006)
The focus of this project lies on the parallelization of video coding algorithms. The high computational complexity and the memory transfers of modern video standards such as H.264/AVC in single-core systems currently represent a limiting factor for high resolution videos such as 1080p60. Multi-core architectures and parallel video encoders/decoders provide an efficient way to tackle this problem.
In this project, we focus on finding efficient splitting approaches of the major coding algorithms (e.g. H.264/AVC, VC-1, AVS) and on the design process of multi-core video coding architectures.
An efficient methodology has been developed that supports:
Design-space explorations of virtual coding architectures
Optimization of multi-core video coding architectures
Analysis of partitionings of video coding algorithms and software
This methodology aims at reducing the development costs of modern video coding architectures. The risk of designing an underperforming system is minimized. This results in an application-optimized video coding solution.
