ABSTRACT: The main objective of this project is to
compress an image using advanced wavelet filters.
This project involves application of discrete wavelet
transform (DWT) which has significant advantages
over real wavelet transform for certain image
processing problems. The proposed architecture,
based on new and fast convolution approach, reduces
the hardware complexity in addition to reduce the
critical path to the multiplier delay. Furthermore, an
advanced two dimensional (2-D) discrete wavelet
transform (DWT) implementation, with an efficient
memory area, is designed to produce one output in
less number of clock cycles.
KEYWORDS: Discrete wavelet transforms (DWT),

INTRODUCTION: of the most used techniques for
image compression and is applied in a large category
of applications [1]. DWT can provide significant
compression ratios without great loss of visual
quality than the previous techniques such as the
Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and the Discrete
Fourier Transform (DFT). The DWT present the
main part of the JPEG2000 standard, which permits
both lossy and lossless compression of digital
images. It allows an encoded image to be
reconstructed progressively. Image compression is
different from binary data compression. When binary
data compression techniques are applied to images,
the results are not optimal. In lossless compression,
the data (such as executables, documents, etc.) are
compressed such that when decompressed, it gives an
exact replica of the original data. They need to be
exactly reproduced when decompressed. For
example, the popular PC utilities like Winzip or and
Adobe Acrobat perform lossless
compression. Compression can be done in many
ways as below mentioned.
Spatial Redundancy is the correlation between
neighboring pixel values.
Spectral Redundancy is the correlation between
different color planes or spectral bands.
Temporal Redundancy is the correlation between
adjacent frames in a sequence of images (in video
applications). Image compression focuses on
reducing the number of bits needed to represent an
image by removing the spatial and spectral
redundancies. The compression phase is mainly
divided into three sequential steps: (1) Discrete
Wavelet Transform, (2)Quantization, and (3) Entropy
Encoding. After preprocessing, each component is
independently analyzed by an appropriatediscrete
wavelet transform. For an efficient compression all
above techniques are utilized.
The computational block diagram of the
functionalities of the compression system is shown in

Lifting and convolution present the two computing
approaches to achieve the discrete wavelet transform
[3].While conventional lifting-based architectures
require fewer arithmetic operations compared to the
convolution-based approach for DWT, they
sometimes have long critical paths. IfTa and Tm are
the delays of the adder and multiplier, respectively,
then the critical path of the lifting-based architecture
for the (9,7) filter.
Principles of Image Compression
A typical lossy image compression scheme is shown
in Figure 1. The system consists of three main
components, namely, the source encoder, the
quantizer, and the entropy encoder.
source encoder An encoder is the first major
component of image compression system. A variety
of linear transforms are available such as Discrete
Fourier Transform (DFT), Discrete Cosine Transform
(DCT), and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). The
Discrete Wavelet Transform is main focus of our
work.
Quantizer A quantizer reduces the precision of the
values generated from the encoder and therefore
reduces the number of bits required to save the
transform co coefficients.
Entropy Encoder An entropy encoder does further
compression on the quantized values. This is done to
achieve even better overall compression. The
commonly used entropy encoders are the Huffman
encoder, arithmetic encoder, and simple run-length
encoder.
Wavelet-based Compression
Digital image is represented as a two-dimensional
array of coefficients, each coefficient representing the
brightness level in that point. Most natural images
have smooth color variations, with the fine details
being represented as sharp edges in between
the smooth variations. Technically, the smooth
variations in color can be termed as low frequency
variations, and the sharp variations as high frequency
variations.
The low frequency components (smooth variations)
constitute the base of an image, and the high
frequency components (the edges which give the
details) add upon them to refine the image, thereby
giving a detailed image. Hence, the smooth variations
are more important than the details. Separating the
smooth variations and details of the image can be
performed in many ways. One way is the
decomposition of the image using the discrete
wavelet transform.
The basic difference between wavelet-based and
Fourier-based techniques is that short-time Fourier-
based techniques use a fixed analysis window, while
wavelet-based techniques can be considered using a
short window at high spatial frequency data and a
long window at low spatial frequency data. This
makes DWT more accurate in analyzing image
signals at different spatial frequency, and thus can
represent more precisely both smooth and dynamic
regions in image. Wavelet-based image compression
has good compression results in both rate and
distortion sense.
DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM:
One-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform The
basic DWT can be realized by convolution-based
implementation using the FIR-filters to do the
transform. Theinput discrete signal X(n) is filtered by

a low-pass filter (h) and a high-pass filter (g) at each
transform level. The two output streams are then sub-
sampled by simply dropping the alternate output
samples in each stream to produce the lowpass
subband YL and high-pass subband YH. The
associated equations can be written (1).

Two-Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transform For
two-dimensional (Image) analysis and reconstruction
the multi-resolution approach for Discrete Wavelet
decomposition of signals using a pyramidal filter
structure proposed by Mallat can be adopted. Fig. 3
shows the twolevel multi-resolution wavelet
decomposition of signals using pyramidal filter
structure.

FAST CONVOLUTION-BASED DISCRETE
WAVELET TRANSFORM ARCHITECTURE:
There are many implementations of the convolution-
based DWT [15]-[18]. A semi-systolic form of a
VLSI architecture has been proposed by Acharya and
Chen [15]. The proposed architecture, based on new
and fast convolution approach, presents an
implementation of a very high-speed discrete wavelet
transform with reduced hardware complexity and
memory. The main principle of the architecture can
be applied to implement any symmetric filter. The (9,
7) wavelet filter presents the developed example.
These (9, 7) filter has 9 lowpass filter coefficients h =
{ h-4 , h-3 , h-2 , h-1, ho, h1 , h2 ,h3, h4} and 7
high-pass filter coefficients g = { g-2 , g-1, go, g1, g2
, g3 , g4}. The architecture to compute the YLi and
YHi is shown in Fig. 4. Additional registers are
added, between multipliers and adders, to speed up
the computing. The critical path is reduced to the
multiplier delay (Tcm). Furthermore, the outputs YLi
and YHi are obtained alternately at the trailing edges
of the even and odd clock cycles. (e.g., YL0, YL1,
YL2, ….. are obtained at clock cycles 9, 11, 13, . . .
and YH0, YH1, YH2, … are obtained at clock cycles
8, 10, 12, .. . respectively).

Embedded Zero Tree Encoding Technique
The image compression scheme using wavelet
transform consists of the following procedure:
•Decomposition of signal using filters banks.
•Down sampling of Output of filter bank.
•Quantization of the above.
•Finally encoding.
The Embedded Zero tree (EZT) wavelet algorithm
was invented by Shapiro in 1993. Basically a wavelet
transform on an image leads to the formation of sub
bands. The EZT algorithm exploits the self similarity
of coefficients in different wavelet bands. The
algorithm is in such a way that it takes care of the
intermediate quantization process. In this scheme, the
lower rate codes or the averages (LL) are embedded
at the beginning of the bit stream

CONCLUSION: Finally, this project presents a
parallel architecture for very high-speed computing
Discrete Wavelet Transform using SRAM and FIFO
memory. This concept introduced the basic wavelet
theory used for wavelet transform based image
compression. To produce one output in every clock
cycle in addition to reduce the critical path as well as
more efficient memory area, new fast convolution-
based architecture approach is performed. In this
approach, the system stars the column-processing as
soon as sufficient numbers of rows have been
filtered. Two fast convolution based blocks, for the
two-dimensional (2-D) discrete wavelet transform
(DWT), are used to accelerate the computing
operations.
