| This patent presents a fast algorithm and its VLSI design to implement the variable block size motion estimation for H.264 system. The fast algorithm is proposed based on hardware-oriented concept for regular VLSI design. Simulations show that our proposed algorithm can save 88%~94% motion searching time under H.264 program JM8.6 while PSNR only decreases about 0.02dB in average. Based in the fast algorithm, the real-time VLSI architecture is proposed with parallel structure. The hierarchical method is used to reduce the design complexity, which the timing schedule is controlled with particular pipeline flow. The chip can compute 41 vectors for various block size during 256 cycles as using only 96 PEs. Comparisons with other VLSI architectures, we can offer higher processing speed, lower memory bandwidth and lower circuit complexity.The fast multi-frame motion estimation consists of the adaptive full-search, three-step and diamond searches with using content adaptive control. The decision criterion is proposed to achieve better rate-distortion for H.264 system. The experimental results show that the speed-up is 6~15 times compared with the full search method while the PSNR value is slightly degrading. The proposed algorithm can achieve faster speed and lower bit-rate compared to the competing algorithms. | □技術授權

6 Q' @# o5 F/ Z$ u$ g' r | The digital TV broadcasting system adopts the video coding to save the channel bandwidth, but the decoding image will appear distortions as the bit stream suffers from damages. This patent presents an error concealment processor to promote the performance of TV receiver. An efficiency error-concealment algorithm is advised with the adaptation of the spatial interpolation and the temporal prediction to reduce the non-matched error for high motion regions and achieves high resolution for still or low motion regions. Based on the adaptive algorithm, a real-time VLSI architecture is developed with a pipelined-flow structure and parallel processing. The complex processing schedule for the error concealment processor is arranged to integrate video decoding systems for real time implementation. The chip occupies about 27k gates and includes one on-chip line-buffer. The silicon area is about 9mm2 with TSMC 0.35um process, and the throughput rate can achieve 50M pixels per second. | □ 技術授權: M5 B4 X! ~3 r ?8 H7 R- V# s# h

| This patent proposed a color interpolation technique for a single chip CCD (charge-coupled device) with color-filter-array format. Using edge direction weighting and the local gain approach, we reconstruct color components in high accuracy but low computational complexity. Simulations result that the proposed method outperforms the other techniques to which it was compared. Based on the new algorithm, a cost-effective architecture consists of pipeline schedule for real-time operations. With time-sharing method, this architecture can interpolate various colors using a common computational kernel. The circuit complexity can be efficiently reduced. The prototype of color interpolation processor has been successfully verified with a FGPA device, and an ASIC chip is also designed with TSMC 0.35um. The chip core uses about 10k gates and two line-buffers. | þ 技術授權 % Z Q, ?+ G2 O7 c9 I9 @

| This patent proposes an efficient noise-removal algorithm using an adaptive digital signal processing approach. Simulations have demonstrated that the new adaptive algorithm could efficiently reduce impulse noise even in highly corrupted images. In order to achieve real-time implementation, a cost-effective architecture is proposed using a parallel structure and pipelined processing. The proposed processor can achieve the throughput rate of 45M pixels per second using only 4k gates and two line-buffers. Unlike median-filtering chips, this processor provides better filtering quality and its circuit is much less complex. | □ 技術授權/ l) ?8 ~6 S. [. \
