Abstract
The filter bank approach for computing the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which we call the convolution method, can employ either a nonpolyphase or polyphase structure. This work compares filter banks with an alternative polyphase structure for calculating the DWT-the lifting method. We look at the traditional lifting structure and a recently proposed structure for implementing lifting. All filter bank structures are implemented on an Altera field-programmable gate array. The quantization of the coefficients (for implementation in fixed-point hardware) plays a crucial role in the performance of all structures, affecting both image compression quality and hardware metrics. We design several quantization methods and compare the best design for each approach: the nonpolyphase filter bank, the polyphase filter bank, the lifting and flipping structures. The results indicate that for the same image compression performance, the flipping structure gives the smallest and fastest, low-power hardware.
