A VLSI architecture for lifting-based forward and inverse wavelettransform

We propose an architecture that performs the forward and inverse discrete wavelet transform (DWT) using a lifting-based scheme for the set of seven filters proposed in JPEG2000. The architecture consists of two row processors, two column processors, and two memory modules. Each processor contains two adders, one multiplier, and one shifter. The precision of the multipliers and adders has been determined using extensive simulation. Each memory module consists of four banks in order to support the high computational bandwidth. The architecture has been designed to generate an output every cycle for the JPEG2000 default filters. The schedules have been generated by hand and the corresponding timings listed. Finally, the architecture has been implemented in behavioral VHDL. The estimated area of the proposed architecture in 0.18-μ technology is 2.8 nun square, and the estimated frequency of operation is 200 MHz     

An Efficient Pipeline Architecture and Memory Bit-Width Analysis for Discrete Wavelet Transform of the 9/7 Filter for JPEG 2000

In this paper, we propose an efficient pipeline architecture for the DWT 9/7 filter defined in JPEG 2000. The proposed architecture is composed of column and row processors to perform the separable 2-D DWT. Based on the rescheduling DWT algorithm, we derive a new data flow graph to shorten the critical path. The proposed 1-D column processor requires less pipeline registers to achieve about the same critical path compared with other lifting-based architectures. For the row processor, the data dependency of each lifting step is reduced to only two computation nodes and therefore more pipeline registers can be applied to achieve higher processing speed without increasing the internal memory size in the 2-D case. That is, for an N × N image, it only requires 4N internal memory to perform the row-wise transform. For the memory bit-width analysis, we use software simulation to reduce the memory bit-width for various compression ratios. Since a portion of information from least significant bits of DWT coefficients would be discarded after EBCOT-tier2 processing, one can decrease the data width of internal memory to perform various compression ratios of JPEG 2000 coding, especially at the low-bit rates. Our simulation results suggest that it is practically possible to design the energy-aware memory architecture to further reduce the power consumption in the future work.     

VLSI Architecture of Line-Based Lifting Wavelet Transform for Motion JPEG2000

In this paper, we proposed a new architecture of lifting processor for JPEG2000 and implemented it with both FPGA and ASIC. It includes a new cell structure that executes a unit of lifting calculation to satisfy the requirements of the lifting process of a repetitive arithmetic. After analyzing the operational sequence of lifting arithmetic in detail and imposing the causality to implement in hardware, the unit cell was optimized. A new simple lifting kernel was organized by repeatedly arranging the unit cells and a lifting processor was realized for Motion JPEG2000 with the kernel. The proposed processor can handle any size of tiles and support both lossy and lossless operation with (9,7) filter and (5,3) filter, respectively. Also, it has the same throughput rate as the input, and can continuously output the wavelet coefficients of the four types (LL, LH, HL, HH) simultaneously. The lifting processor was implemented in a 0.35 mum CMOS fabrication process, the result of which occupied about 90 000 gates, and was stably operated in about 150 MHz     

Two-Symbol FPGA Architecture for Fast Arithmetic Encoding in JPEG 2000

JPEG 2000 is one of the most popular image compression standards offering significant performance advantages over previous image standards. High computational complexity of the JPEG 2000 algorithms makes it necessary to employ methods that overcomes the bottlenecks of the system and hence an efficient solution is imperative. One such crucial algorithms in JPEG 2000 is arithmetic coding and is completely based on bit level operations. In this paper, an efficient hardware implementation of arithmetic coding is proposed which uses efficient pipelining and parallel processing for intermediate blocks. The idea is to provide a two-symbol coding engine, which is efficient in terms of performance, memory and hardware. This architecture is implemented in Verilog hardware definition language and synthesized using Altera field programmable gate array. The only memory unit used in this design is a FIFO (first in first out) of 256 bits to store the CX-D pairs at the input, which is negligible compared to the existing arithmetic coding hardware designs. The simulation and synthesis results show that the operating frequency of the proposed architecture is greater than 100 MHz and it achieves a throughput of 212 Msymbols/sec, which is double the throughput of conventional one-symbol implementation and enables at least 50% throughput increase compared to the existing two-symbol architectures.
