Abstract

This paper presents a low-power motion compensation IP core design for the MPEG-1/2/4 video decoding. The proposed design exploits the adder-based quarter-pixel filter optimized by data sharing for low cost consideration. This optimization reduces over 87 % hardware complexity as compared to the quarter-pixel filter in the existing design [4]. In addition, we propose a low-power design technique called dynamic partially guarded computation (DPGC) to reduce the power consumption on the pixel interpolation. After applying the DPGC, we can reduce the 60% power consumption of interpolation operations in the proposed design. Using a 0.18μm CMOS technology, the proposed design achieves real-time processing of MPEG-1/2/4 decoding on 4CIF video when operated at 54MHz. In addition, the proposed design has been integrated into a MPEG-4 video decoder for system verification through XILINX multimedia FPGA board.
