| Abstract | In this paper we propose a dedicated architecture to implement a 2-D discrete wavelet transform computed by adopting the new lifting scheme framework. Through this new construction tool it is possible to obtain integer versions of the wavelet transform. This is a very interesting issue when the goal is lossless compression of images, whose pixels are represented through integers. In the classical approach to the discrete wavelet, the filter coefficients are real numbers and so are the resulting coefficients. When pursuing hardware implementations for real time and embedded applications, this causes the need to manage fixed point operations and unavoidable quantization. If the output can be produced with integer values instead, perfect reconstruction and lossless compression are possible. Typical applications include scenarios with limited bandwidth and big image sizes, such as medical imaging for tele-medicine or satellite image transmission, not suited to lossy compression, or high quality images in digital cameras.We analyze the data flow and dependencies to define an architecture to implement the integer lifting wavelet transform. The paper covers all lifting implementations based on a single ‘lifting stepr’ and uses the Deslauriers-Dubuc (4, 2) filter as a guiding example, but the approach is general and the results can be easily extended to other filters. We outline a very general framework, to be used either in a custom VLSI implementation, or in mappings onto existing ‘computing cells’. The overall resources needed are less than those for the equivalent classical FIR version computed through a systolic architecture. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
