In spite of the recent advances in telecommunication standards, communication networks still have limited bandwidths and storage capacity. Therefore, video compression has drawn increasing importance since high-resolution video contents have become more and more used in various fields. These requirements raise the need for high-performance video-compression technologies able to reduce the amount of data to be transmitted or stored by compressing the input video signal into a bitstream file. Improving the coding efficiency was always one of the crucial issues of various compression standards that aim to get the most compact representation of the reconstructed video, with a high subjective quality. The high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) comes to respond to these requirements. However, the increased consumption of high-quality multimedia content has pushed the international communication companies to put much effort to better enhance video-coding techniques. In this perspective, an upcoming video-coding standard to be known as versatile video coding (VVC) has emerged aiming to improve the coding efficiency of the current HEVC codec. Improvements on rate distortion (RD) performance that came with both HEVC and VVC have brought an increased complexity in the majority of the coding modules, which makes it difficult to implement on hardware systems with real-time encoding. This chapter focuses on the transform coding stage as one of the most computationally demanding modules. For HEVC, efficient approximation algorithms in addition to reconfigurable and scalable architecture have been developed in order to decrease the computational complexity of the transform module. The main objectives are to meet low power and real-time processing constraints while maintaining a compression gain and a satisfying video quality. Field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation results and comparisons with existing works confirm the efficiency of the proposed approximations since they contribute in reducing time and power consumption, optimizing the hardware resources and bringing peak signal-to noise ratio (PSNR) improvement as well. Similarly, for the adaptive multiple transform (AMT) introduced in the transform module of the VVC, approximations were done for discrete cosine transform (DCT)-II and discrete sine transform (DST)-VII transforms since they are statistically the most used ones among the five predefined types. Bitrate (BR) reduction with a slightly degradation of video quality and a less use of hardware resources are the main contributions of the proposed approximations.
