Type-II/III DCT/DST algorithms with reduced number of arithmetic operations
We present algorithms for the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete
sine transform (DST), of types II and III, that achieve a lower count of real
multiplications and additions than previously published algorithms, without
sacrificing numerical accuracy. Asymptotically, the operation count is reduced
from ~ 2N log_2 N to ~ (17/9) N log_2 N for a power-of-two transform size N.
Furthermore, we show that a further N multiplications may be saved by a certain
rescaling of the inputs or outputs, generalizing a well-known technique for N=8
by Arai et al. These results are derived by considering the DCT to be a special
case of a DFT of length 4N, with certain symmetries, and then pruning redundant
operations from a recent improved fast Fourier transform algorithm (based on a
recursive rescaling of the conjugate-pair split radix algorithm). The improved
algorithms for DCT-III, DST-II, and DST-III follow immediately from the
improved count for the DCT-II.Comment: 9 page
A fast algorithm for the computation of 2-D forward and inverse MDCT
International audienceA fast algorithm for computing the two-dimensional (2-D) forward and inverse modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT and IMDCT) is proposed. The algorithm converts the 2-D MDCT and IMDCT with block size M N into four 2-D discrete cosine transforms (DCTs) with block size ðM=4Þ ðN=4Þ. It is based on an algorithm recently presented by Cho et al. [An optimized algorithm for computing the modified discrete cosine transform and its inverse transform, in: Proceedings of the IEEE TENCON, vol. A, 21–24 November 2004, pp. 626–628] for the efficient calculation of onedimensional MDCT and IMDCT. Comparison of the computational complexity with the traditional row–column method shows that the proposed algorithm reduces significantly the number of arithmetic operations
