Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 電機工程學系 === 86 === The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is a newly developed
signal processing method and it has proven to be much useful for
a wide rangeof applications including signal analysis,
compression, pattern recognition,biomedicine, and numerical
analysis, etc. Especially in future image/videocompression
standards, the discrete wavelet transform is a likely
candidatefor the transform part of them. Therefore, the design
and implementationof an efficient signal processing architecture
which can perform thesetransforms has itself taken on much
importance. In this thesis, a scalable pipelined architecture
for computing separable2-D Discrete Wavelet Transform is
presented. The architecture is regular andmodular for
computation of 2-D DWT. Based on these properties, it is
easilyscalable for different filter lengths and different
decomposition levelswithout complex control. In addition, the
architecture has the characteristicsof lower hardware cost,
shorter latency, and higher throughput, it is suitablefor VLSI
implementation and for real-time applications. Since the
multipliers are the critical paths in the architecture, we
designtwo-stage pipelined multipliers to increase the operating
speed. Finally, weuse the hierarchical modular design technique
for our architecture by CAD toolsand the circuit has been
simulated and verified by Altera MAX+PLUS II. From thesimulation
results, the circuit has a working frequency of 17MHz.
