20080215654 | Video Decoding with Reduced IDCT Calculations - Reduced complexity inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) masks and a method for reducing the number of IDCT calculations in video decoding are provided. The method comprises: accepting an n×m matrix of DCT coefficients; performing (n−y) horizontal IDCT operations, where y is greater than 0; performing y scaling operations; and, generating an n×m block of pixel information. Some aspects of the method further comprise: performing (m−z) vertical IDCT operations, where z is in the range between 0 and m/2. In some aspects, performing (n−y) horizontal ICDT operations includes performing IDCT operations for the first (n−y) horizontal rows. Then, performing y scaling operations includes: selecting the DC component from the first position of each horizontal row; scaling the selected DC component; and, copying the scaled DC component into the remaining positions of each of horizontal row. | 09-04-2008 |
