چکیده
This paper presents a hardware implementation of FullSearch Vector Quantization Image Compression using an associative memory chip based on analog flash technology. Taking advantage of the features of this architecture, that performs a parallel search on 4K 64-elements codebook in 4.6 μs, encouraging results have been obtained in terms of perceived image quality and computation speed.

CMOS Image Sensor Featuring Current-Mode Focal-Plane Image Compression
The main feature of CMOS image sensors is that they allow for the introduction of processing hardware at the pixel level. Using this characteristic, it is possible to extract from the image only the desired data, thereby reducing the output data rate. The analog processing also has the advantage of enabling high-speed operation. Owing to these features, in the last few years there has been a st...

Data-matching function plays an essential role in a number of information processing systems, such as those for voice/ image recognition, codebook-based data compression, image coding, data search applications etc. In order to implement such functions effectively, both proper data representation algorithms and powerful search engines are essential. Concerning the former, robust image representa...

We describe hardware that has been built to compress video in real time using full-search vector quantization (VQ). This architecture implements a diierential-vector-quantization (DVQ) algorithm which features entropy-biased codebooks designed using an artiicial neural network (ANN). A special-purpose digital associative memory, the VAMPIRE chip, performs the VQ processing. We describe the DVQ ...
متن کاملAnalog multilayer perceptron implementation of low complexity VQ for image compression
This work proposes a multilayer perceptron (MLP) method to perform direct mapping from an analog image block into a vector index, i.e. implement vector quantization (VQ) without the need for carrying out first an analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion of each analog sample. The design focuses on an analog hardware implementation and is based on observing that the use of a careful binary index assig...
