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

New Decimation-In-Time Fast Hartley Transform Algorithm

This paper presents a new algorithm for fast calculation of the discrete Hartley transform (DHT) based on decimation-in-time (DIT) approach. The proposed radix-2^2 fast Hartley transform (FHT) DIT algorithm has a regular butterfly structure that provides flexibility of different powers-of-two transform lengths, substantially reducing the arithmetic complexity with simple bit reversing for ordering the output sequence. The algorithm is developed through the three-dimensional linear index map and by integrating two stages of the signal flow graph together into a single butterfly. The algorithm is implemented and its computational complexity has been analysed and compared with the existing FHT algorithms, showing that it is significantly reduce the structural complexity with a better indexing scheme that is suitable for efficient implementation

Implementación en sistemas embebidos de la transformada discreta de Hartley

Las transformaciones ortogonales han sido de gran utilidad en la caracterización y procesamiento de señales. En particular la Transformada de Hartley permite obtener representaciones tiempo-frecuencia y viceversa. En este trabajo se presenta un algoritmo para el cálculo de la Transformada Discreta de Hartley en sistemas embebidos con el objetivo de minimizar la carga computacional y la capacidad de almacenamiento necesaria. Se aprovecha la similitud con la Transformada Discreta de Fourier para usar un algoritmo de cálculo rápido y se reduce el número de funciones trigonométricas calculadas usando los factores de giro (twiddle factors). En general la implementación permite aumentar el tamaño de la ventana de transformación y aumentar la velocidad de cálculo respecto al cálculo directo.Orthogonal transformations have been very useful in the characterization and signal processing.

In general, the implementation can increase the size of the processing window and increase computational speed compared to direct calculation

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

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
