An overview of very large scale integrated (VLSI) implementations of multimedia processing systems is given with particular emphasis on architectures for image and video processing. Today, speed and power are most important parameters in any technological discovery. This can be achieved with the implementation of the VLSI in Image Processing. Recently, image processing technology has been widely used in vision system, multimedia processor and consumer electronics. Rapid developing technology requires high performance image processor with fast computation speed, small chip size and low power consumption. Alternative design approaches are discussed for dedicated image and video processing circuits and for programmable multimedia processors. Current design aspects of dedicated and programmable architectures are reviewed and the techniques employed to improve the performance for multimedia processing are suggested. Future trends in multimedia processing systems are anticipated with respect to current developments in emerging image and video multimedia applications.
