Abstract
In recent years, 3D related applications, including 3D movie and 3DTV, are getting more and more attentions. In order to make the real-time 3D applications feasible, efficient multiview video coding (MVC) scheme is desired. However, the system throughput requirement on a high definition (HD) MVC encoder is at least two times higher than the current highest throughput H.264/AVC encoder design. In order to meet the target HD MVC specifications, the system scheduling analysis for the HD MVC encoder is performed in this paper. By the 8-stage MB pipeline system architecture with view-parallel MB-interleaved system scheduling and other in-core computation optimizations, the proposed HD MVC encoder design provides about 339% to 1536% higher system throughput than the previous HD H.264/AVC encoder chips and therefore the real-time HD MVC encoding can be achieved.
