Efficient VLSI Architecture for Lifting-Based Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This brief presents a novel very large-scale integration (VLSI) architecture for discrete wavelet packet transform (DWPT).By exploiting the in-place nature of the DWPT algorithm, this architecture has an efficient pipeline structure to implement high-throughput processing without any on-chip memory/first-in first out access. A folded architecture for lifting-based wavelet filters is proposed to compute the wavelet butterflies in different groups simultaneously at each decomposition level. According to the comparison results, the proposed VLSI architecture is more efficient than the previous proposed architectures in terms of memory access,hardware regularity and simplicity, and throughput. The folded architecture not only achieves a significant reduction in hardware cost but also maintains both the hardware utilization and high-throughput processing with comparison to the direct mapped tree structured architecture.
