We have also developed a still image compression algorithm based on adaptive resolution VQ (AR-VQ), which realizes compression ratio over 1/200 while maintaining image quality. We have successfully implemented these two technologies into a still image encoding processor. The processor can compress still image of 1600/spl times/2400 pixels within one second, which is 60 times faster than software implementation on current PCs.","PeriodicalId":162493,"journal":{"name":"2002 Symposium on VLSI Circuits.

The tranquil VCCA results in active restoration improvement by 3.0 ns in the full chip performance. The suppression of the VCCA overshoot makes high speed operation reliable owing to rapid column precharge. The power consumption by the VCCA generator is also reduced by 35% because of the time-variant DC current control.","PeriodicalId":162493,"journal":{"name":"2002 Symposium on VLSI Circuits.
