Scalable transform hardware architecture with improved transpose buffer

Abstract

As the quality and quantity of shared video content increases, video encoding standards and techniques are being developed and improved to reduce bandwidth consumption over telecommunication and other networks. One such technique for compressing videos involves transforming image data into an alternate, encoding-friendly domain (e.g., by a two-dimensional discrete cosine transform). Transform modules may be implemented to perform these transformations, which may occur during both video encoding and decoding processes. Provided are exemplary techniques for improving the efficiency and performance of transform module implementations.
