Abstract

A signal-processing apparatus includes an instruction-parallel processor, a first data-parallel processor, a second data-parallel processor, and a motion detection unit, a de-blocking filtering unit and a variable-length coding/decoding unit which are dedicated hardware. With this structure, during signal processing of an image compression and decompression algorithm needing a large amount of processing, the load is distributed between software and hardware, so that the signal-processing apparatus can realize high processing capability and flexibility.
