A low-cost VLSI architecture design for non-separable 2-D discrete wavelet transform
Ming‐Hwa Sheu, Ming‐Der Shieh, Shengwei Liu · 2005
This paper presents an architecture for 2-D image decomposition of discrete wavelet transform. In order to avoid the memory transpose problem, we use non-separable approach instead of separable one. Besides, based on the input data reuse concept, a parallel-pipelined architecture is proposed The main characteristics of this architecture include: (1) needless memory transposition; (2) lower hardware cost; (3) shorter latency; (4) suitable VLSI implementation. Finally, all components in our architecture are simulated based on the accuracy requirement and realized as a single chip physically.
