Experimental evaluation of computational speed for 2-D discrete cosine transforms of 8/spl times/8 pixel blocks within a 512/spl times/512 pixel image show that a custom computer can provide speedups of 50-100 times compared to state-of-the art computer workstations, confirming the applicability of custom computing for video processing applications.","PeriodicalId":127085,"journal":{"name":"1997 International Conference on Consumer Electronics","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121339914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we generate the variable quantization matrix (Q-matrix) based on the human visual system (HVS) and utilize the activity of the each block to control the bit and image quality.
