| dc.description.abstract | The digitized digital revolution has opened up many opportunities in daily life. The most obvious change is in the digital home which will require many different multimedia digital devices such as a setup-box, PC, digital camera, Blue-ray disc player, and TV games, etc. These devices are used to transmit or receive digital video content, and so in a digital home multimedia data sources will be very diverse, from the early stand-alone player, such as the VCD player, to the now far more popular Blue-ray player, DVB receiver boxes and surveillance cameras, etc. In addition, personal computers and other sources that often use multimedia players in co-ordination with different display devices such as LCD projectors, LCD digital TV, and flexible electronic display devices form the core of the whole digital home. However, in order for many multimedia devices to communicate with each other and be overcome the limitations of distance and speed, requires the establishment of new wireless multimedia transmission systems and the formation of a central control unit. Multimedia compression is a very important part of the system, and in this thesis a new lossless compression scalable image-video compression codec (SIVC) is proposed.
A system for wireless digital home system conditions is designed so that low complexity and effective design becomes key. After consideration of the overall system, an algorithm is developed to process it in its entirety, and the system hardware realization is compared with JPEG 2000. The proposed work consumes the least amount of hardware resources while maintaining high performance. The proposed SIVC codec is fully compatible with Full-HD 1080p@30 Hz. Furthermore, with the capability of flexible parallelism, the hardware architecture can be improved for advanced display specifications such as QHD and QFHD. | en_US |
