Abstract

This paper proposes the architecture of a deblocking filter (DBF) that removes blocking artifacts in new emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). A parallel architecture for both normal and strong filtering modes of HEVC is proposed. Distributed memories and two data paths increase the parallelism and make the architecture more efficient. The proposed architecture is described by Verilog and implemented on FPGA. The architecture can realize real time to compute 4K UHD video at 30 fps by using 46.65 million clocks with total equivalent gate count of 46K. The maximum delay time for output to come after taking input for the proposed architecture is 18.514 ns and the currently operating frequency is 54 MHz.
