Abstract:
A method and a decoding or coding device for calculating at least one of run and level representations of respective quantized transform coefficients representing pixel values in a block of a video picture inserted in a coefficient array is disclosed. The method and the decoding or coding device are adjusted to generate a bitmask of the quantized transform coefficients, respectively perform a look up of the 8 least significant bits and the 8 most significant bits of the bitmask in a look up table, patch the looked up lower part and upper part bytemap values and insert the bytes of the first bytemap array from index position 8 minus the number of non-zeros in the 8 least significant bits of the bitmask.
Abstract:
A method to quickly determine whether a macroblock in H.264 or other similar standards should be encoded in skip mode in a SIMD processor environment is provided. The method exploits the fact that the processor provides enough register space to store N=4 4x4 set of 8 bits data. By performing 4 consecutive reads of 16 linear aligned values into 16 SIMD register variables each capable of storing 16 values, the entire data set for operating can be stored within the processors SIMD register variables and can be operated upon, without any memory related latency.
