Two-band fast Hartley transform

This article has been made available through the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund.Efficient algorithms have been developed over the past 30 years for computing the forward and inverse discrete Hartley transforms (DHTs). These are similar to the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Most of these methods seek to minimise the complexity of computations and or the number of operations. A new approach for the computation of the radix-2 fast Hartley transform (FHT) is presented. The proposed algorithm, based on a two-band decomposition of the input data, possesses a very regular structure, avoids the input or out data shuffling, requires slightly less multiplications than the existing approaches, but increases the number of additions

New fast Walsh–Hadamard–Hartley transform algorithm

This paper presents an efficient fast Walsh–Hadamard–Hartley transform (FWHT) algorithm that incorporates the computation of the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) with the discrete Hartley transform (DHT) into an orthogonal, unitary single fast transform possesses the block diagonal structure. The proposed algorithm is implemented in an integrated butterfly structure utilizing the sparse matrices factorization approach and the Kronecker (tensor) product technique, which proved a valuable and fast tool for developing and analyzing the proposed algorithm. The proposed approach was distinguished by ease of implementation and reduced computational complexity compared to previous algorithms, which were based on the concatenation of WHT and FHT by saving up to 3N-4 of real multiplication and 7.5N-10 of real addition

A novel approach to fast discrete Hartley transform

The Discrete Hartley transform (DHT) is an important tool in digital signal processing. We propose a novel approach to perform DHT. We transform DHT into a form expressed in discrete moments via a modular mapping and truncating Taylor series expansion and present a completely new formula for computing DHT. We extend the use of our systolic array for fast computation of moments without any multiplications, to one that computes DHT with only a few multiplications and without any evaluations of triangular functions. The multiplication number used in our method is O(Nlog2N/log2log2N) superior to O(Nlog 2N) in the conventional FDT. The execution time of the systolic array is only O(Nlog2N/log2log2N) for 1-D DHT and O(N k) for k-D DHT (k⩾2). The systolic array consists of very simple processing elements and hence it implies an easy and potential hardware/VLSI implementation. The approach is also applicable to DHT inverses.published_or_final_versio

Radix-2 x 2 x 2 algorithm for the 3-D discrete hartley transform

The discrete Hartley transform (DHT) has proved to be a valuable tool in digital signal/image processing and communications and has also attracted research interests in many multidimensional applications. Although many fast algorithms have been developed for the calculation of one- and two-dimensional (1-D and 2-D) DHT, the development of multidimensional algorithms in three and more dimensions is still unexplored and has not been given similar attention; hence, the multidimensional Hartley transform is usually calculated through the row-column approach. However, proper multidimensional algorithms can be more efficient than the row-column method and need to be developed. Therefore, it is the aim of this paper to introduce the concept and derivation of the three-dimensional (3-D) radix-2 2X 2X algorithm for fast calculation of the 3-D discrete Hartley transform. The proposed algorithm is based on the principles of the divide-and-conquer approach applied directly in 3-D. It has a simple butterfly structure and has been found to offer significant savings in arithmetic operations compared with the row-column approach based on similar algorithms

Fast algorithm for the 3-D DCT-II

Recently, many applications for three-dimensional (3-D) image and video compression have been proposed using 3-D discrete cosine transforms (3-D DCTs). Among different types of DCTs, the type-II DCT (DCT-II) is the most used. In order to use the 3-D DCTs in practical applications, fast 3-D algorithms are essential. Therefore, in this paper, the 3-D vector-radix decimation-in-frequency (3-D VR DIF) algorithm that calculates the 3-D DCT-II directly is introduced. The mathematical analysis and the implementation of the developed algorithm are presented, showing that this algorithm possesses a regular structure, can be implemented in-place for efficient use of memory, and is faster than the conventional row-column-frame (RCF) approach. Furthermore, an application of 3-D video compression-based 3-D DCT-II is implemented using the 3-D new algorithm. This has led to a substantial speed improvement for 3-D DCT-II-based compression systems and proved the validity of the developed algorithm

Efficient fast hartley transform algorithms for hypercube-connected multicomputers

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Although fast Hartley transform (FHT) provides efficient spectral analysis of real discrete signals, the literature that addresses the parallelization of FHT is extremely rare. FHT is a real transformation and does not necessitate any complex arithmetics. On the other hand, FHT algorithm has an irregular computational structure which makes efficient parallelization harder. In this paper, we propose a efficient restructuring for the sequential FHT algorithm which brings regularity and symmetry to the computational structure of the FHT. Then, we propose an efficient parallel FHT algorithm for medium-to-coarse grain hypercube multicomputers by introducing a dynamic mapping scheme for the restructured FHT. The proposed parallel algorithm achieves perfect load-balance, minimizes both the number and volume of concurrent communications, allows only nearestneighbor communications and achieves in-place computation and communication. The proposed algorithm is implemented on a 32- node iPSC12' hypercube multicomputer. High-efficiency values are obtained even for small size FHT problems
