A Design of Two-Dimensional Wavelet Transformer Using SDRAM

The amount of data stored, processed and transmitted in the multi-media systems has been growing very fast, especially for the image data. For example, it takes 0.75Mbytes to store 512 12 pixels of 24-bit color image. A video signal with 30 frames per second will require 22.5Mbytes of storage space. To solve this problem, we need a good image compression technique. Recently, many researches on the image compression technique based on the wavelet transform are being pursued to overcome the problems of traditional JPEG. This paper describes the architecture and design of two-dimensional wavelet transform circuit. To keep the sire of the circuit small, we tried to minimize the internal storage space by using external SDRAM. This circuit was designed in Verilog-HDL, synthesized using Design Compiler and verified using Verilog-XL.
