Abstract :
A novel lossless image and video codec termed ViLoCoN is presented. ViLoCoN stands for Video Lossless Compression for NoCs (i.e. Networks-on-chip) as it is highly applicable to reduce power consumption and bandwidth of on-chip and inter chip interconnect in modern multimedia SoCs. ViLoCoN´s encoder/decoder use fewer gates (71% and 84%) as compared to previous lightweight encoders and decoders, respectively, and provide a higher compression ratio (by ~31%) on average, as compared to the most lightweight predecessor. ViLoCoN´s performance is comparable to well known codecs that demand one order of magnitude more hardware resources.
