Architecture for the real-time implementation of three-dimensional subband video coding

A multiprocessor architecture for the real-time implementation of video coding algorithms is described. This MIMD architecture provides an efficient I/O structure for processing video at various resolutions, and has a distributed frame store and I/O structure suited for the implementation of three-dimensional subband coding. A high-quality 384 kb/s coder has been implemented using the video array processor (VAP) as a research platform for developing the coding algorithm.<>
