- Abstract
- In frame memory recompression, decompression latency consists of two components, i.e., memory access cycles for compressed data fetch, and decompression time. Compared to most earlier works which mainly focused on the compression ratio and, therefore, only reducing memory access cycles, this paper proposes a low-latency variable-length coding method called non-zero bit selection scheme (NBS). The proposed NBS enables highly parallel decompression achieving a three-cycle decompression for an 8x8 block, compared to previous methods requiring as many as twelve clock cycles for the case of exponential Golomb code. It is notable that the proposed NBS scheme has achieved this without deterioration of the compression ratio. Experimental result on a number of full HD videos shows that the compression ratio of the proposed method is at least not worse than that obtained with the exponential Golomb code on the average, while reducing the decompression time to 25% compared to the exponential Golomb code. © 2010 IEEE.
