Implementation of wavelet transform on optical computer

As one of the most useful mathematical analysis method, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been widely used in many fields such as signal analysis, image processing and so on. However because of its tremendous computational complexity, the application of DWT has been greatly affected. In consideration that DWT can be high efficiently implemented in parallel by utilizing huge number of data bits of optical computer, it is meaningful and important to study on how to implement DWT on ternary optical computer (TOC). To simplify the application of DWT on TOC, a new implementation strategy of DWT based on TOC is put forward. Fully considered the relations between the operands and the resources of TOC, the mechanisms and details about the implementation of carry-free DWT are discussed. With the implementation strategy, users can easily accomplish DWT by giving the needed DWT application parameters without needing to know the details of TOC and the intermediate process of DWT calculation. Experiments show that the implementation strategy is correct, it can effectively implement and much simplify the application of DWT on TOC. Meanwhile, it can automatically generate all the needed intermediate information and ensure the whole application process of DWT be transparent to users.

A Low Power Shift Add Multiplier for Lifting Based Dwt using Kogge Stone Adder

The most common technique used for image processing applications is ‘The wavelet transformation’. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) keeps the time as well as frequency information depend on a multi resolution analysis structure, where the other classical transforms like Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) will not do that. Because of this feature, the quality of the repaired image is improved when comparing to the other transforms. To implement the DWT on a real time codec, a fast device needs to be targeted. While comparing with the other implementation such as PCs, ARM processors, DSPs etc, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation of DWT had better processing speed and costs were vey less. A Fast Architecture based DWT using Kogge Stone Adder is proposed in this paper where the coefficients of lifting scheme are calculated by using Shift adder and Kogge Stone Adder where other techniques used multiplier. The most important intention of the suggested technique is to use minimum calculation and limited memory. The simulation of the suggested design is dole out on the Xilinx 14.1 style tool and also the performance is evaluated and compared with the present architectures.

Implementation of Efficient Architecture of Fine Grain Pipelined Lifting Scheme Based Two Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform

Many Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based VLSI architectures have been projected to meet the necessities of the synchronized signal processing. It includes image processing, speech processing, signal and video processing, etc. The practical implementation of DWT has fewer hitches in terms of hardware complexity and memory requirement since it needs to process huge volume of data. The traditional convolution based system needs more multipliers and larger memory and is also not suitable to provide speed or power efficient image or video processing designs. The lifting scheme involves very few mathematical computations compared to the convolution-based DWT. In this paper, we propose an architecture that performs Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) using a lifting-based scheme with fine grained pipelined architecture. The basic DWT filters used in image compression are 5/3(lossless) and 9/7(lossy) filters. In fine grain pipelining, multiplier is split into two units by placing the latches on the horizontal cutset across the multiplier. Thus the critical path is reduced to half of the multiplier delay. As a result, it is a speed efficient architecture and is symmetrical with a lower hardware complexity. The architecture is designed using verilog HDL and implemented on Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA.

Real-time rate distortion-optimized image compression with region of interest on the ARM architecture for underwater robotics applications

This paper proposes the use of a real-time progressive image compression and region of interest algorithm for the ARM processor architecture. This algorithm is used for the design of an underwater image sensor for an autonomous underwater vehicle for intervention, under a highly constrained available bandwidth scenario, allowing for a more agile data exchange between the vehicle and a human operator supervising the underwater intervention. For high compression ratios (smaller output size), execution time is dominated by the transformation algorithm, which plays a progressively smaller role as the compression ratio gets smaller (larger output size). A novel progressive rate distortion-optimized image compression algorithm based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is presented, with special emphasis on a novel minimal time parallel DWT algorithm, which allows full memory bandwidth saturation using only a few cores of a modern multicore embedded processor. The paper focuses in a novel efficient inplace, multithreaded, and cache-friendly parallel 2-D wavelet transform algorithm, based on the lifting transform using the ARM Architecture. In order to maximize the cache utilization and consequently minimize the memory bus bandwidth use, the threads compete to work on a small memory area, maximizing the chances of finding the data in the cache. Their synchronization is done with very low overhead, without the use of any locks and relying solely on the basic compare-and-swap atomic primitive. An implementation in C programming language with and without the use of vector instructions (single instruction multiple data) is provided for both, single (serial) and multi-(parallel) threaded single-loop DWT implementations, as well as serial and parallel naive implementations using linear (row order) and strided (column order) memory access patterns for comparison. Results show a significant improvement over the single-threaded optimized implementation and a much greater improvement over both, the single- and multi-threaded naive implementations, reaching minimal running time depending on the memory access pattern, the number of processor cores, and the available memory bus bandwidth, i.e., it becomes memory bound using the minimum number of memory accesses. Due to memory saturation, the inplace 2-D DWT transform can be executed in the same time as a 1-D DWT transform or as an inplace memory block copy.

A Fast Discrete Wavelet Transform Using Hybrid Parallelism on GPUs

Wavelet transform has been widely used in many signal and image processing applications. Due to its wide adoption for time-critical applications, such as streaming and real-time signal processing, many acceleration techniques were developed during the past decade. Recently, the graphics processing unit (GPU) has gained much attention for accelerating computationally-intensive problems and many solutions of GPU-based discrete wavelet transform (DWT) have been introduced, but most of them did not fully leverage the potential of the GPU. In this paper, we present various state-of-the-art GPU optimization strategies in DWT implementation, such as leveraging shared memory, registers, warp shuffling instructions, and thread- and instruction-level parallelism (TLP, ILP), and finally elaborate our hybrid approach to further boost up its performance. In addition, we introduce a novel mixed-band memory layout for Haar DWT, where multi-level transform can be carried out in a single fused kernel launch. As a result, unlike recent GPU DWT methods that focus mainly on maximizing ILP, we show that the optimal GPU DWT performance can be achieved by hybrid parallelism combining both TLP and ILP together in a mixed-band approach. We demonstrate the performance of our proposed method by comparison with other CPU and GPU DWT methods.

Design of Enhanced Half Ripple Carry Adder For VLSI Implementation Of Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform

This paper presents a systematic high speed VLSI implementation of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) based on hardware-efficient parallel FIR filter structures. High- speed 2-D DWT with computation time as low as N2/12 can be easily achieved for an N X N image with controlled increase of hardware cost. Compared with recently published 2-D DWT architectures with computation time of N2/3 and 2N2/3, the proposed designs can also save a large amount of multipliers and/or storage elements. In proposed DWT models, adders are recognized as high potential than other components. In order to improve the efficiency of DWT process, an efficient adder called “Enhanced Half-Ripple Carry Adder (EHRCA)” has been designed in this research work. Proposed EHRCA circuit offers10.71% improvements in hardware slice utilization, 11.78% improvements in total power consumption than traditional Binary to Excess 1 Conversion (BEC) based Square Root Carry Select Adder (SQRT CSLA).

Lifting-based Discrete Wavelet Transform for Real-Time Signal Detection

Background: Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is extensively useful in different Digital Signal Processing (DSP) applications. In this paper, Lifting scheme is introduced in three mother wavelets, which are Haar wavelet, Daubechies (db4) and Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF) 9/7-tap wavelet also known as db9/7 wavelet. Method: In this work each of the architecture is compared with its Direct form. Haar wavelet is used to design the basic DWT architecture. Daubechies DWT (db4) orthogonal filters and Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF) 9/7 bi-orthogonal wavelet filters are considered for DWT construction. Due to the uncomplicated design, lifting scheme provides less power consumption. Instead of set of filters, simple predict and update mechanism is introduced. The IEEE 754 floating point standard is used to represent the filter coefficients. The architectures are described in Verilog HDL and simulation is performed in Xilinx for FPGA implementation. All the architectures are synthesized in Cadence RC for 180 nm technology. Findings: The Lifting Scheme has 75-82% less power consumption and 27% area-efficiency than conventional DWT architectures. FPGA implementation is done using Altera Cyclone IV FPGA kit. Maximum operating frequency is 33.3MHz and 45MHz for 3-level and 1-level of decomposition respectively in DWT implementation. Conclusion: Due to the uncomplicated design, lifting scheme provides less power consumption. DWT designs are compared with respect to power consumption and area.

Discrete Wavelet Transform and Data Expansion Reduction in Homomorphic Encrypted Domain

Signal processing in the encrypted domain is a new technology with the goal of protecting valuable signals from insecure signal processing. In this paper, we propose a method for implementing discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and multiresolution analysis (MRA) in homomorphic encrypted domain. We first suggest a framework for performing DWT and inverse DWT (IDWT) in the encrypted domain, then conduct an analysis of data expansion and quantization errors under the framework. To solve the problem of data expansion, which may be very important in practical applications, we present a method for reducing data expansion in the case that both DWT and IDWT are performed. With the proposed method, multilevel DWT/IDWT can be performed with less data expansion in homomorphic encrypted domain. We propose a new signal processing procedure, where the multiplicative inverse method is employed as the last step to limit the data expansion. Taking a 2-D Haar wavelet transform as an example, we conduct a few experiments to demonstrate the advantages of our method in secure image processing. We also provide computational complexity analyses and comparisons. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report on the implementation of DWT and MRA in the encrypted domain.

Novel Implementation of Recursive Discrete Wavelet Transform for Real Time Computation with Multicore Systems on Chip (SOC)

The discrete wavelet Transform (DWT) has been studied and developed in various scientific and engineering fields. Its multi-resolution and locality nature facilitates application required for progressiveness in capturing high-frequency details. However, when dealing with enormous data volume, the performance may drastically reduce. The multi-resolution sub-band encoding provided by DWT enables for higher compression ratios, and progressive transformation of signals. The widespread usage of the DWT has motivated the development of fast DWT algorithms and their tuning on all sorts of computer systems. However, this transformation comes at the expense of additional computational complexity. Achieving real-time or interactive compression/de-compression speed, therefore, requires a fast implementation of DWT that leverages emerging parallel hardware systems. The recent advancement in the consumer level multicore hardware is equipped with Single Instruction and Multiple Data (SIMD) power.In this study, Parallel Discrete Wavelet Transform has been developed with novel Adaptive Load Balancing Algorithm (ALBA). The DWT is parallelized, partitioned, mapped and scheduled on single core and Multicore. The Parallel DWT is developed in C# for single and Intel Quad cores as well as the combination of C and CUDA is implemented on GPU. This brings the significant performance on a consumer level PC without extra cost.

MATHEMATICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF HYBRID FAST FOURIER TRANSFORM AND DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM FOR DEVELOPING GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE USING VISUAL BASIC FOR SIGNAL PROCESSING APPLICATIONS

In recent years, the application of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) on biosignal processing has made a significant impact on developing several applications. However, the existing user-friendly software based on graphical user interfaces (GUI) does not allow the freedom of saving the wavelet coefficients in .txt or .xls format and to analyze the frequency spectrum of wavelet coefficients at any desired wavelet decomposition level. This work describes the development of mathematical models for the implementation of DWT in a GUI environment. This proposed software based on GUI is developed under the visual basic (VB) platform. As a preliminary tool, the end user can perform "j" level of decomposition on a given input signal using the three most popular wavelet functions — Daubechies, Symlet, and Coiflet over "n" order. The end user can save the output of wavelet coefficients either in .txt or .xls file format for any further investigations. In addition, the users can gain insight into the most dominating frequency component of any given wavelet decomposition level through fast Fourier transform (FFT). This feature is highly essential in signal processing applications for the in-depth analysis on input signal components. Hence, this GUI has the hybrid features of FFT with DWT to derive the frequency spectrum of any level of wavelet coefficient. The novel feature of this software becomes more evident for any signal processing application. The proposed software is tested with three physiological signal — electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG), and electromyogram (EMG) — samples. Two statistical features such as mean and energy of wavelet coefficient are used as a performance measure for validating the proposed software over conventional software. The results of proposed software is compared and analyzed with MATLAB wavelet toolbox for performance verification. As a result, the proposed software gives the same results as the conventional toolbox and allows more freedom to the end user to investigate the input signal.

Implementation Of Progressive Block Coder For Image Compression System Using QUAD-Tree Partitioning Approach

This paper work describes the implementation of Discrete Wavelet Transform based progressive block coder using only quad-tree partitioning approach. The motivation behind this work is from SPECK (Set Partitioning Embedded bloCK) algorithm. It uses set partitioning and significance testing on hierarchical structures of transformed images in a recursive manner. The proposed method simplifies the complexity of the embedded wavelet image coding algorithm by combining both sorting pass and refinement pass. In comparison with other methods, this is simpler to be realized on hardware and has higher compression efficiency. The implementation is done by using TMS320C6713 DSK board. The statistical analysis is done with profile statistic available in Code Composer Studio (CCS) environment. The simulation results obtained in MATLAB environment show that PSNR values are quite improved by lowering threshold values .

Modified VLSI implementation of DA-DWT for image compression

The wavelet transformation is a widely used technique for image processing application. Hence compared to traditional transforms such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), wavelet transform holds both time and frequency information, based on a multi-resolution analysis framework. There is a growing need to embed it into a real system. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) results in higher processing speed and lower costs when compared to other implementation methods. In this work a modified DA which performs low-pass and high-pass filtering improves the computational speed of DWT. A 9/7 filter is designed using modified DA architecture to perform low-pass and high-pass filtering. By using optimised DA architecture the LUT size is reduced from 29 to 24 locations in 9th order filter and 27 to 24 in 7th order filter. The design is verified in a Verilog HDL simulator and implemented on XILINX Virtex5 FPGA board.

Forward-flipping architecture for lifting-based discrete wavelet transform

This paper illustrates a forward-flipping architecture for lifting-based discrete wavelet transform (DWT), in which the multiplication and addition operations are flipped to different computation paths in each lifting step through forward-flipping, and the critical path of each lifting step is shortened to one multiplication operation latency. Through case studies on the JPEG2000 default lossy (9,7) filter and the (6,10) filter, the efficiency of the proposed architecture has been demonstrated and confirmed. The comparison results have also shown that the proposed architecture is efficient in reducing the number of pipeline registers for the implementation of DWT under the given timing criteria.

The secure wavelet transform

There has been an increasing concern for the security of multimedia transactions over real-time embedded systems. Partial and selective encryption schemes have been proposed in the research literature, but these schemes significantly increase the computation cost leading to tradeoffs in system latency, throughput, hardware requirements and power usage. In this paper, we propose a light-weight multimedia encryption strategy based on a modified discrete wavelet transform (DWT) which we refer to as the secure wavelet transform (SWT). The SWT provides joint multimedia encryption and compression by two modifications over the traditional DWT implementations: (a) parameterized construction of the DWT and (b) subband re-orientation for the wavelet decomposition. The SWT has rational coefficients which allow us to build a high throughput hardware implementation on fixed point arithmetic. We obtain a zero-overhead implementation on custom hardware. Furthermore, a Look-up table based reconfigurable implementation allows us to allocate the encryption key to the hardware at run-time. Direct implementation on Xilinx Virtex FPGA gave a clock frequency of 60 MHz while a reconfigurable multiplier based design gave a improved clock frequency of 114 MHz. The pipelined implementation of the SWT achieved a clock frequency of 240 MHz on a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA and met the timing constraint of 500 MHz on a standard cell realization using 45 nm CMOS technology.
