Abstract
In the era of data transmission through internet, image compression is considered an active research topic, decreasing the amount of data storage for faster data transfer. In this paper, the hardware implementation of an image compression system using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is presented. The transposed form Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is employed for performing the convolution process, on which the DWT is based. The design is generic to fit for different wavelet types and symmetric to expand for filters of multiple taps. The architecture is implemented on FPGA using IEEE-754 single precision. Floating-Point representation offered higher precision and better accuracy compared to scaled integer values. The proposed hardware design is implemented on Virtex 5 FPGA achieving 243.6 MHz clock frequency.
