Algorithm analysis and architecture design for HDTV applications - a look at the H.264/AVC video compressor system

In this article, we suggest some techniques to design the H.264/AVC video coding system for HDTV applications. The design exploration is made according to software profiling. The design considerations of system scheduling and pipelining are discussed followed by the architecture optimization of the significant modules. The efficient H.264/AVC video coding system is achieved by combining these techniques
