This brief presents the Six Wedgelets and six Refinements (6WR), a hardware friendly algorithm targeting the Depth Modeling Mode 1 (DMM-1) encoding tool of the 3D-High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC) standard. This brief also presents the high-throughput and energy-aware hardware design for the 6WR. The 6WR algorithm reduces 98.5% of the evaluated wedge lets by exploring the edges gradients, with average coding efficiency losses between 1.2% and 2.8%. The hardware design implements the Bresenham algorithm to avoid the use of memory. The synthesis results show that the 6WR architecture can process up to nine views in 3D full HD 1080p videos at 30 frames per second, with a power dissipation of 263.7 mW. When compared with related works, the 6WR architecture reached the highest throughput and the best results of coding efficiency and energy efficiency when the same target throughput is considered.
