PROCESAMIENTO DE VIDEO UTILIZANDO LA PLATAFORMA DAVINCI

Abstract

This thesis work constitutes the implementation of an MPEG-4 ASP (Advanced Simple Profile) in an ARM processor architecture within the Texas Instruments DaVinci platform. The methods and techniques for video coding under the MPEG-4 standard are analyzed. The components that constitute the hardware on the DaVinci platform are analyzed and evaluated for their use in the development of this work. In the implementation, software components are used that are contained in the DVSDK v1.3 (Digital Video Software Development Kit) for the DaVinci platform. Such software is destined to be executed on the ARM processor with an operating system. Thus a version of the Linux operating system is used known as MontaVista Linux, contained alongside the DVSDK v1.3 Given the nature of the software used alongside the implementation of an XVID based MPEG-4 video coder on the DaVinci Platform, the analysis and utilization of these standardized software components is contained in the thesis work. As a final part of the thesis work the results of video coding on the ARM processor are evaluated.
