Optimized Transform Entropy Decoding Architecture for VDC-M

Abstract

The importance of video compression technology is highly emphasized according to the advancement of display technology which plays a crucial role in many industries. Video compression technology is important in the aspect of reducing bandwidth usage, optimizing storage space, and enhancing the efficiency of data transmission. Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Compression-M (VDC-M) video compression standard [1], as released by the VESA, shows high compression ratio and high performance. In this paper, we propose a hardware architecture for transform entropy decoding which supports the VDC-M standard. It can extract and align quantized coefficients which are transmitted from encoder to decoder for reconstruction. The utilization of optimized entropy coding techniques enhances the overall performance, making the proposed hardware architecture contribute to advanced video compression in modern display technologies.
