A multi-standard video decoder for high definition video applications

Low‐complexity multi‐standard variable length coding decoder using tree‐based partition and classification

“…Lin et al [18] employed a pipeline structure in Level decoding which triples the speed of the CAVLC decoding procedure. Some studies [19][20][21][22] have addressed multi-standard video decoding. Since MPEG-1/2/ 4 have many similar codeword tables, Chien et al [19] and Chen et al [20] combined the three standards to reduce the hardware requirement.…”

“…Since MPEG-1/2/ 4 have many similar codeword tables, Chien et al [19] and Chen et al [20] combined the three standards to reduce the hardware requirement. In [21,22], two distinct MPEG-2 and H.264 VLC decoders were employed because the codeword tables in the two standards are quite different.…”
