“…However, these design techniques usually come with significant implementation overhead (e.g., silicon area, delay) to solve failure problems in memories. We have recently explored viewer-aware video memory design by investigating the impact of illuminance levels in different viewing surroundings on the viewer's experience [4,5,6,7], as shown in Fig. 1.…”

“…A vast amount of research has been conducted to improve the power efficiency of video data storage. State-of-the-art, power-efficient video memories consist of either approximate memory with application-level information [8,9,10,11,12] or viewer-aware memories with an awareness of viewer's experience [4,5,6,7]. In this section, some of the existing work related to the proposed technique are briefly reviewed, and the detailed comparison analysis will be provided in Section VII.…”

The demand for mobile video streams is constantly increasing. With this demand comes a need for mobile devices to receive more videos at ever increasing quality. However, due to the large size of video data and intensive computational requirements, video streaming requires frequent memory access that consume a substantial amount of mobile device power; as a result, the battery life of mobile devices is limited. In this paper, we present a video content-adaptable Region-of-Interest (ROI)-aware video storage technique that promotes power savings. During the video encoding process on the transmitting server, based on the macroblock variance and ROI characterization, the "macroblocks of interest" are identified and embedded in the encoded bitstream. In the decoding process, a new frame buffer with dynamic power-quality trade-off is presented to adapt to the macroblock characteristics during run-time. Results from the system-level and circuit-level simulations show that the proposed technique enables substantially more truncated bits and significant power savings while delivering similar or better video quality as compared to other state-of-theart solutions.

“…But before a video frame is shown on the screen, the video data needs to be decoded first. For a decoded YUV 4:2:0 format video data [14], each pixel contains 8-bit of Luma data and 4-bit of Chroma data. To store a whole frame of this video sample, it requires 176 x144 (25344) x 8 bits of SRAM to store Luma (Y) data and 25344 x 4 bits of SRAM to store Chroma (U, V) data.…”

“…But in subjective video QoE, PSNR does not provide any useful information anymore due to the fact that videos with different PSNR can provide a very different QoE under different viewing contexts [14]. Our approach is to use this fact to improve battery life.…”
