Custom computers are a new computing paradigm where reconfigurable logic in the form of SRAM-based field programmable gate arrays are used as a co-processor resource in addition to a conventional CPU. This allows application developers to adapt not only the software but also the hardware of the computer on an application-by-application basis. Experimental evaluation of computational speed for 2-D discrete cosine transforms of 8/spl times/8 pixel blocks within a 512/spl times/512 pixel image show that a custom computer can provide speedups of 50-100 times compared to state-of-the art computer workstations, confirming the applicability of custom computing for video processing applications.

This paper describe the new extended JPEG coder with variable quantizer using the block wavelet transform which has more flexibility in representing the image dye to a pyramid-like multiresolution decomposition. We replace the discrete cosine transform (DCT) module by block-wise discrete wavelet transform (BDWT) module while keeping all the building blocks of the JPEG extension coder. In addition, we generate the variable quantization matrix (Q-matrix) based on the human visual system (HVS) and utilize the activity of the each block to control the bit and image quality. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme has substantially better performance than the JPEG extensions.

In this paper we determine the number of bits to be used for the encoding of the anchor frame in low bit rate video coding in order to improve the quality of the next and subsequent frames to be encoded. This problem is important in a real time video communication system. We use a progressive method for the transmission of the anchor frame. We develop two methods for determining the optimal number of bits to be allocated to the first frame in on line video communication applications.

We propose two predictive coding algorithms for 3-D stereo image compression which make use of inter-frame and intra-frame correlation present in stereo image pairs. The predictive coding is applied to one of the two frames associated with each stereo image pair on top of DCT-quantization based compression technology to achieve extra data compression. The technology can also be applied in addition to any other compression technology such as, wavelets based, fractal based, etc. This novel coding technique eliminates the necessity of using overhead bits in reconstructing the predicted image.
