Abstract
Design techniques for high-performance, fixed-point, multiplierless filter banks are presented. Image compression using the biorthogonal 9/7 discrete wavelet transform provides a motivating example. Image compression and hardware performance of two commonly used filter structures, direct and cascade, and two known filter bank structures, nonpolyphase and polyphase, are compared. A technique is shown for designing a fixed-point polyphase filter structure, which is highly efficient from a hardware standpoint, such that image-compression quality is not significantly deteriorated by the use of fixed-point mathematics. The result is a polyphase structure with about twice the throughput rate of nonpolyphase structures, and peak signal-to-noise ratio values for lossy compression within 0.2 decibels of those achieved using floating-point filters.
