Design of the Variable FU Array for Forward/Backward Transform in H.264

Abstract:

In this paper, we designed the variable FU array consisting of single FU for transform in H.264. The paper highlights the design of FU array which can accommodate the operation block of various sizes. We implemented the FU array processor, and some experiments are conducted so as to verify the architecture. The proposed variable FU array can be extended to FU array that will give a scalability feature to coding tools of MPEG-1/2/7/21 and H26x.
