Abstract-An optimal unified architecture that can efficiently compute the Discrete Cosine, Sine, Hartley, Fourier, Lapped Orthogonal, and Complex Lapped transforms for a continuous stream of input data that arise in signallimage communications is proposed. This structure uses only half as many multipliers as the previous best known scheme [l]. The proposed architecture is regular, modular, and has only local interconnections in both data and control paths. There is no limitation on the transform size N and only 2N -2 multipliers are needed for the DCT.The throughput of this scheme is one input sample per clock cycle. We provide a theoretical justification by showing that any discrete transform whose basis functions satisfy the Fundamental Recurrence Formula has a second-order autoregressive structure in its filter realization. We also demonstrate that dual generation transform pairs share the same autoregressive structure. We extend these time-recursive concepts to multi-dimensional transforms. The resulting d-dimensional structures are fully-pipelined and consist of only d 1-D transform arrays and shift registers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
