Researchers have, in recent times, achieved excellent compression efficiency by implementing a more complicated compression algorithm due to the rapid development of video compression. As a result, the next model of video compression, High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), provides high-quality video output while requiring less bandwidth. However, implementing the intra-prediction technique in HEVC requires significant processing complexity. This research provides a completely pipelined hardware architecture solution capable of real-time compression to minimize computing complexity. All prediction unit sizes of 4×4, 8×8, 16×16, and 32×32, and all planar, angular, and DC modes are supported by the proposed solution. The synthesis results mapped to Xilinx Virtex 7 reveal that our solution can do real-time output with 210 frames per second (FPS) at 1920×1080 resolution, called Full High Definition (FHD), or 52 FPS at 3840×2160 resolution, called 4K, while operating at 232 Mhz maximum frequency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
