A VLSI architecture of JPEG2000 encoder
Copyright @ 2004 IEEEThis paper proposes a VLSI architecture of JPEG2000 encoder, which functionally consists of two parts: discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and embedded block coding with optimized truncation (EBCOT). For DWT, a spatial combinative lifting algorithm (SCLA)-based scheme with both 5/3 reversible and 9/7 irreversible filters is adopted to reduce 50% and 42% multiplication computations, respectively, compared with the conventional lifting-based implementation (LBI). For EBCOT, a dynamic memory control (DMC) strategy of Tier-1 encoding is adopted to reduce 60% scale of the on-chip wavelet coefficient storage and a subband parallel-processing method is employed to speed up the EBCOT context formation (CF) process; an architecture of Tier-2 encoding is presented to reduce the scale of on-chip bitstream buffering from full-tile size down to three-code-block size and considerably eliminate the iterations of the rate-distortion (RD) truncation.This work was supported in part by the China National High Technologies Research Program (863) under Grant 2002AA1Z142
Development of Lifting-based VLSI Architectures for Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform
Two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (2-D DWT) has evolved as an essential
part of a modem compression system. It offers superior compression with good image
quality and overcomes disadvantage of the discrete cosine transform, which suffers
from blocks artifacts that reduces the quality of the inage. The amount of
computations involve in 2-D DWT is enormous and cannot be processed by generalpurpose
processors when real-time processing is required. Th·"efore, high speed and
low power VLSI architecture that computes 2-D DWT effectively is needed. In this
research, several VLSI architectures have been developed that meets real-time
requirements for 2-D DWT applications. This research iaitially started off by
implementing a software simulation program that decorrelates the original image and
reconstructs the original image from the decorrelated image. Then, based on the
information gained from implementing the simulation program, a new approach for
designing lifting-based VLSI architectures for 2-D forward DWT is introduced. As a
result, two high performance VLSI architectures that perform 2-D DWT for 5/3 and
9/7 filters are developed based on overlapped and nonoverlapped scan methods. Then,
the intermediate architecture is developed, which aim a·: reducing the power
consumption of the overlapped areas without using the expensive line buffer. In order
to best meet real-time applications of 2-D DWT with demanding requirements in
terms of speed and throughput parallelism is explored. The single pipelined
intermediate and overlapped architectures are extended to 2-, 3-, and 4-parallel
architectures to achieve speed factors of 2, 3, and 4, respectively. To further
demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach single and para.llel VLSI architectures
for 2-D inverse discrete wavelet transform (2-D IDWT) are developed. Furthermore,
2-D DWT memory architectures, which have been overlooked in the literature, are
also developed. Finally, to show the architectural models developed for 2-D DWT are
simple to control, the control algorithms for 4-parallel architecture based on the first
scan method is developed. To validate architectures develcped in this work five
architectures are implemented and simulated on Altera FPGA.

Design of wireless swallowable capsule with minimum power consumption and high resolution images
Medical technology has undergone major breakthroughs in recent years, especially in the area of the examination tools for diagnostic purposes. The traditional examination method for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases is gastroscopy with the use of an endoscope. Wireless camera pill has created a new perspective for engineers and physicians. After years of great innovation, commercial swallowable pills have been produced and applied in clinical practice. These pills can cover the examination of the gastrointestinal system and provide to the physicians not only a lot more useful data that is not available from the traditional methods, but also elimination of the use of the painful endoscopy procedure. In this paper, a new design of the wireless swallowable pills has been proposed. It takes advantage of the benefits of every sub-system, like camera lenses, image compressor and RF sub-system. In this way our system can provide enough and accurate data to the physicians

Discrete Wavelet Transform Core for Image Processing Applications
This paper presents a flexible hardware architecture for performing the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) on a digital image. The proposed architecture uses a variation of the lifting scheme technique and provides advantages that include small memory requirements, fixed-point arithmetic implementation, and a small number of arithmetic computations. The DWT core may be used for image processing operations, such as denoising and image compression. For example, the JPEG2000 still image compression standard uses the Cohen-Daubechies-Favreau (CDF) 5/3 and CDF 9/7 DWT for lossless and lossy image compression respectively. Simple wavelet image denoising techniques resulted in improved images up to 27 dB PSNR. The DWT core is modeled using MATLAB and VHDL. The VHDL model is synthesized to a Xilinx FPGA to demonstrate hardware functionality. The CDF 5/3 and CDF 9/7 versions of the DWT are both modeled and used as comparisons. The execution time for performing both DWTs is nearly identical at approximately 14 clock cycles per image pixel for one level of DWT decomposition. The hardware area generated for the CDF 5/3 is around 15,000 gates using only 5% of the Xilinx FPGA hardware area, at 2.185 MHz max clock speed and 24 mW power consumption
