Abstract :
The realization of new MPEG-4 functionality, applicable to 3D graphics texture compression and image database access over the Internet, is demonstrated in a PC-based compression system. Applying our system-level design methodologies effectively removes all implementation bottlenecks. A first-of-a-kind ASIC, called Ozone, accelerates the Embedded Zero Tree based encoding and is capable of compressing 30 color CIF images per second
