Institution of Engineering & Technology VLSI Architectures for Future Video Coding (Materials, Circuits and Devices)

This book addresses future video coding from the perspective of hardware implementation and architecture design, with particular focus on approximate computing and the energy-quality scalability paradigm. Challenges in deploying VLSI architectures for video coding are identified and potential solutions postulated with reference to recent research in the field. The book offers systematic coverage of the designs, techniques and paradigms that will most likely be exploited in the design of VLSI architectures for future video coding systems.Written by a team of expert authors from around the world, and brought together by an editor who is a recognised authority in the field, this book is a useful resource for academics and industry professionals working on VLSI implementation of video codecs. About the Author Maurizio Martina is an Associate Professor in the Electronics and Telecommunications Department at Politecnico di Torino, Italy. He conducts research in the field of VLSI architectures for multimedia signal processing and communications, particularly the design of image/video compression and iterative channel-code decoder architectures. He has published almost 100 papers in international journals and conferences. He is and has been in the technical program committee of several international conferences.
