Abstract

Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is a widely used tool in image and video compression
applications. Recently, the high-throughput DWT designs have been adopted to fit the requirements of real-time
application. A scheme for the design of a high-speed FPGA architecture for the computation of the 2-D discrete
wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. In order to assess the feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed
scheme, the architecture thus designed is simulated on a field-programmable gate-array . It is therefore a
challenging problem to design an efficient VLSI architecture to implement the DWT computation for real-time
applications. Owing to its regular and flexible structure, the design can be extended easily into different
resolution levels, and its area is independent of the length of the 2-D input sequence. The implementation
exploits the lookup table-based architecture of Virtex FPGAs, by reformulating the wavelet computation in
accordance with the distributed arithmetic algorithm.Performance results show that the distributed arithmetic
formulation results in a considerable performance gain compared with the conventional arithmetic formulation
of the wavelet computation. Finally, we show that the FPGA implementation outperforms alternative software
implementations of the discrete wavelet transform. Compared with other known architectures, our design
requires the least computing time for DWT. Image Compression is one of the major Image Processing techniques
that is widely used in medical, automotive, consumer and military applications. Discrete Wavelet Transformation
technique adopted for Image Compression. Complexity of DWT is always high due to large number of arithmetic
operations. In this work a high-speed DA based DWT architecture is proposed and is implemented on FPGA. This
approach on virtex-II pro FPGA and operates at 825MHz.This architecture has a throughput of 125MHz.This
design is 1.35 times faster than the reference design and it is suitable for application that require high speed
image processing applications. Compared with other known architectures, our design requires the least
computing time for DWT.

1. INTRODUCTION
A majority of today’s Internet bandwidth is estimated to be used for images and video.
Recent multimedia applications for handheld and portable devices place a limit on the
available wireless bandwidth. The bandwidth is limited even with new connection
standards. Image compression that is in widespread use today took several years for it to

be perfected. Wavelet based techniques for image compression has a lot more to offer
than conventional methods in terms of compression ratio. Currently wavelet
implementations are still under development lifecycle and are being perfected. Flexible
energy-efficient hardware implementations that can handle multimedia functions such as
image processing, coding and decoding are critical, especially in hand-held portable
multimedia wireless devices. The wavelet transform is an emerging signal processing
technique that can be used to represent real-life non-stationary signals with high
efficiency. Indeed, the wavelet transform is gaining momentum to become an alternative
tool to traditional time-frequency representation techniques such as the discrete Fourier
transform and the discrete cosine transform. By virtue of its multi-resolution
representation capability, the wavelet transform has been used effectively in vital
applications such as transient signal analysis [1], numerical analysis [2], computer vision
[3], image compression [4], among many other audiovisual applications. The discrete
wavelet transform is computationally intensive and operates on large data sets. This
factor, coupled with the demand for real time operation in many image processing tasks,
made the traditional sequential computers fall short in meeting such requirements. In
turn, this necessitated the search for high performance implementations at a reasonable
cost. Implementations of the discrete wavelet transform can be grouped into two major
categories; software implementations using programmable parallel systems, and
dedicated hardware implementations using customized VLSI devices. Each
implementation category presents different trade-offs in terms of performance, cost,
power, and flexibility. Several parallel systems that meet the computational requirements
of the wavelet transform have been proposed [5, 6]. However, programming such
multiprocessor systems is a tedious, difficult, and time consuming task. Moreover,
multiprocessor implementations of the discrete wavelet transform are not cost effective
since parallelism comes at the expense of augmenting the system with more processing
engines operating in parallel. This is in addition to the fact that the discrete wavelet
transform is mostly needed to be embedded in consumer electronics, and thus a single
chip hardware implementation is more desirable than a multi-chip parallel system
implementation. Several VLSI architectures have been proposed for the implementation
of the discrete wavelet transform. The first architecture, presented by Knowles [7], uses
many large multiplexers for storing intermediate results.
Parhi and Nishitani proposed a folded architecture that has shorter latency [8],
however,it requires complex routing and control network. Chakabarti [9] proposed a
systolic architecture, but also it requires many parallel hardware and complex routing. In
general, custom VLSI circuits are inherently inflexible and their development is costly
and time consuming, and thus they are not an attractive option for implementing the
wavelet transform. Filed programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide a new
implementation platform for the discrete wavelet transform. FPGAs maintain the
advantages of the custom functionality of VLSI ASIC devices, while avoiding the high
development costs and the inability to make design modifications after production [10].
Furthermore, FPGAs inherit design flexibility and adaptability of software
implementations.In this paper we describe a parallel and high speed implementation of
the discrete wavelet transform and its inverse using Virtex FPGAs produced by Xilinx
[11]. We make maximal utilization of the lookup table (LUT) architecture of Virtex
FPGAs by reformulating the wavelet transform computation in accordance with the

distributed arithmetic algorithm [12]. Distributed arithmetic makes extensive use of look-
up tables ,which makes it ideal for implementing the discrete wavelet transform functions
onto the LUT-based architecture of Virtex FPGAs. Moreover, distributed arithmetic is
suitable for low power portable applications because it allows replacement of costly
multipliers with shifts and look-up tables. Indeed, one of the unique features of our
discrete wavelet transform implementation is exploiting the natural match between the
Virtex architecture and distributed arithmetic. Three more unique features are worth
mentioning at this point. The first is the flexibility of the implementation which is made
possible by virtue of the re-programmability of FPGAs which allows easy modification
of wavelet type. The second is that, unlike most reported implementations which
concentrate on architecture development, this implementation goes down to the actual
implementation level.Finally, this paper describes implementations for both the forward
and inverse transforms, whereas most papers report on the implementation of the
forward wavelet transform only. The paper is organized as follows. Section two gives an
introduction to basic wavelets computation. Section three highlights the architectural
match between field programmable gate arrays and distributed arithmetic. Section four
describes the implementation of discret wavelet transform using the distributed arithmetic
method. Section five describes functional simulation of the forward implementations.
Section six and seven presents the performance results and compares them with the
performance results obtained for alternative FPGA and software implementations.
Finally, section re presents some concluding remarks and future work.

2.Discrete Wavelet Transform:

Wavelets are special functions which, in a form analogous to sines and cosines in
Fourier analysis, are used as basal functions for representing signals.
m/2
m,n(t) = 2 (2mt – n) ; m, n 1
such that - < m, n < ………..> 1
Wm,n = < x(t), m,n(t) > ; m, n €Z ..................> 2
They provide powerful multiresolution tool for the analysis of nonstationary signals with
good time localization information [13].The coefficients of the discrete wavelet transform
(DWT) can be calculated recursively and in a straight forward manner using the well-
known Mallat’s pyramid algorithm [14]. Based on this algorithm, the coefficients of any
stage can be computed from the coefficients of the previous stage using the following
iterative equations:

……………..>3
Image consists of pixels that are arranged in two dimensional matrix, each pixel represents the
digital equivalent of image intensity. In spatial domain adjacent pixel values are highly correlated
and hence redundant. In order to compress images, these redundancies existing among pixels needs
to be eliminated. DWT processor transforms the spatial domain pixels into frequency
domain information that are represented in multiple sub-bands, representing different time

scale and frequency points. Human visual system is very much sensitive to low frequency and
hence, the decomposed data available in the lower sub-band region and is selected and
transmitted, information in the higher sub-bands regions are rejected depending upon required
information content. In order to extract the low frequency and high frequency subbands
DWT architecture shown in figure below is used. As shown in the figure, input image consisting
rows and columns are transformed using high pass and low pass filters. The filter coefficients are
predefmed and depend upon the wavelets selected. In this work, 9/7 wavelets have been used for
constructing the filters. First stage computes the DWT output along the rows, the second stage
computes the DWT along the column achieving first level decomposition. Low frequency sub-
bands from the first level decomposition is passed through the second level and third level of
filters to obtain multiple level decomposition as shown in fig1:

Fig 1:Decomposition of DWT

In order to reconstruct the original data, the DWT coefficients are upsampled and passed
through another set of low pass and high pass filters, which is expressed as follows:

where g0(n) and g1(n) are respectively the low-pass and high-pass synthesis filters
corresponding to the mother wavelet, and and l is the summation running index of the
analysis filters' coefficients. It is observed from above Equation that the jth level
coefficients can be obtained from the (j+1)th level coefficients.

3.Distributed Arithmetic:

Distributed arithmetic is an efficient method for computing the inner product

operation which constitutes the core of the discrete wavelet transform. In this section we
briefly describe the mathematical derivation of the distributed arithmetic algorithm.
Mathematical derivation of distributed arithmetic is extremely simple; a mix of Boolean
and ordinary algebra [17]. Let the variable Y hold the result of an inner product operation
between a data vector x and a coefficient vector a. The conventional representation the
inner product operation is given as follows:

Where the input data words xi have been represented by the 2’s complement number
presentation in order to bound number growth under multiplication. The variable xij is the
jth bit of the xi word which is Boolean, B is the number of bits of each input data word and
x0i is the sign bit. Interchange the order of summation of Eq. (4), we get:

……….> 6
Distributed arithmetic is based on the observation that the function Fj can only take 2N
different values that can be pre-computed offline and stored in a look-up table. Bit j of
each data xij is then used to address this look-up table. Eq. (5) clearly shows that the only
three different operations required for calculating the inner product. First, a look-up to
obtain the value of Fj, then addition or subtraction, and finally a division by two that can
be realized by a shift. In its most obvious and direct form, distributed arithmetic
computations are bit-serial in nature, i.e., each bit of the input samples must be indexed in
turn before a new output sample becomes available. When the input samples are
represented with B bits of precision, B clock cycles are required to complete an inner-
product calculation. An example of a distributed arithmetic implementation of a 4-
element inner product operation is shown in Figure 1 along with the conventional
implementation of the same product operation.

4. Distributed arithmetic implementation

The discrete wavelet transform equations described in the previous section can be
efficiently computed using the quadratic mirror filter (QMF) tree shown in Figure 3. In
this section we describe a distributed arithmetic implementation of the QMF tree. The
implementation starts by deriving the distributed arithmetic structure of a single FIR
filter, and then by describing the implementation of the QMF filter banks of both the
forward and discrete wavelet transforms.

architecture.
Most discrete wavelet transform implementations reported in literature employ the direct
form structure shown in Figure 4. As shown in the figure, each filter tap consists of a
delay element, an adder, and a multiplier [20]. However, a major drawback of this
implementation is that filter throughput is inversely proportional to the number of filter

IJOAR© 2013

taps. That is, as filter length is increased, the filter throughput is proportionately
decreased.

Fig5: DA implementation of an FIR filter

Distributed arithmetic(DA) implementation of an FIR filter consists of a look-up table
(LUT), a cascade of shift registers and a scaling accumulator, as shown in Figure 5.

Fig 6: LUT based DA implementation

The LUT stores all possible partial products over the FIR filter coefficient .Input samples
are presented to the input parallel-to-serial shift register at the input signal sample rate.
As the input sample is serialized, the bit-wide output is presented to the bit-serial shift
register cascade,1-bit at a time. The cascade stores the input sample history in a bit-serial
format and is used in forming the required inner-product computation. The bit outputs of
the shift register cascade are used as address inputs to the look-up table. Partial results
from the look-up table are summed by the scaling accumulator to form a final result at the
filter output port. Since the LUT size in a distributed arithmetic implementation increases
exponentially with the number of coefficients, the LUT access time can be a bottleneck
for the speed of the whole system when the LUT size becomes large. Hence we
decomposed the 8-bit LUT shown in Figure 6 into two 4-bit LUTs, and added their
outputs using a two-input accumulator. The modified partitioned-LUT architecture is
shown in Figure 7.

Fig 7: Modified Partitioned LUT Architecture

The total size of storage is now reduced since the accumulator is less costly than the
larger 8-bit LUT. Furthermore, partitioning the larger LUT into two smaller LUTs
accessed in parallel reduces access time. In addition, throughput of the filter is
maintained regardless of the length of the FIR filter. This feature is particularly attractive
for flexible implementations of different wavelet types since each type has a different set
of filer coefficients.
5.Forward DWT implementation

The basic building block of the forward discrete wavelet transform filter bank is
the decimator which consists of an FIR filter followed by a down-sampling operator [21].
Down-sampling an input sequence x[n] by an integer value of 2, consists of generating an
output sequence y[n] according to the relation y[n] = x[2n]. Accordingly, the sequence
y[n] has a sampling rate equal to half of that of x[n]. To speed up the process parallel
implementation of the Distributive Arithmetic (DA) architecture shown in Figure 8 is
realized in [12]. In parallel implementation, the input data is divided into even samples
and the odd samples based on their position. This scheme reduces the memory size to half
due to the symmetric property of the filter coefficients. This increases the through put as
the input samples are simultaneously used to read the data from two LUTs and hence
speed is increased.

Fig 8: Parellel implementation of DA

In order to further increase the speed and reduce the area, the LUT can be further split
into four stages, and can be accessed by the input values for data read.

6.MODIFIED DA-DWT ARCHITECTURE

The modified DA-DWT architecture shown in Figure8 consists of four
LUTs, each of the LUTs are accessed by the even and odd samples of input matrix
simultaneously. Odd and even input samples are divided into 4 bits of LSB and 4 bits of
MSB, each 4-bit data read the content of four different LUTs that consist of partial
products of filter values computed and stored as per the DA logic. Input samples are split
into even and odd in the first stage, the data is further loaded sequentially into the serial
in serial out shift registers, top four shift register store MSB bits and bottom four shift
register stores the LSB bits. It requires 40 clocks cycles to load the shift register contents.
At the end of 40th clock cycle, the control logic configures the shift register as serial in
parallel out, thus forming the address for the LUT. The partial products stored in the LUT
are read simultaneously front all the four LUTS and are accumulated with previous
values available across the shift register in the output stage. The output stage consisting
of adders, accumulators and right shift registers are used to accumulate the LUT contents
and thus compute the DWT output. This architecture has a latency of 44 clock cycles in
computing the fIrst high pass and low pass fIlter 9oefficients, and has a through put of 4
clock cycles. This architecture is faster by the previous architectures as the latency is
reduced by half clock cycles and through put is increased by a factor of 1.35 times to the
preious one.

targeting Virtex II-pro FPGA. The proposed design is implemented and the synthesis
report is generated. The results obtained are presented in Table1. The proposed design
implemented on FPGA occupies only 1% of the total slices on FPGA, thus the proposed

RTL Schematic:

Fig 10: RTL schematic report

The proposed design is optimized for timmg, and appropnate constraints are set for the
best timing performances, the timing report is as follows:
Timing Summary:
---------------
Speed Grade: -7

Minimum period: 6.537ns

Minimum input arrival time before clock: 8.067ns
Maximum output required time after clock: 11.027ns
Maximum combinational path delay: 9.613ns
This ensures that there is enough space for the further improvement and also more space
for multiple functions to be implemented on the selected FPGA.The maximum frequency
at which the design works is at 153.8 MHz; this can be further improved by changing the
architecture complexity.

8.SIMULATION RESULTS:
ModelSim simulation results for the proposed design is presented in Fig11 to
Fig14 for the low pass and high pass filters. Input vectors that were obtained from Matlab
test inputs were used for validating the HDL results. Input vectors are stored in an ROM
and are read into the modified DADWT architecture. The decomposed outputs are stored
back and are also displayed using simulation waveforms. From the results obtained and
compared with Matlab results it s found that the software and hardware results match and
hence validates the functionality of the proposed architecture. This developed test bench
will automatically force the inputs and will make the operations of algorithm to perform.
The initial block of the design is that the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) block
which is mainly used for the transformation of the image. In this process, the image will
be transformed and hence the high pass coefficients and the low pass coefficients were
generated. Since the operation of this DWT block has been discussed in the previous,
here the snapshots of the simulation results were directly taken in to consideration and
discussed.

8.Conclusion:

The Discrete Wavelet Transform provides a multi resolution representation of

images. The transform has been implemented using filter banks. For the design, based on
the constraints the area, power and timing performance were obtained. Based on the
application and the constraints imposed, the appropriate architecture can be chosen
architecture, with modified DA technique was implemented. The latency of the proposed
architecture is 44 clock cycles and throughput is 4 clock cycles, and hence is twice faster
than the reference design. It is seen that, in applications, which require low area, power
consumption, and high throughput, e.g., real-time applications, the poly-phase with DA
architecture is more suitable. The biorthogonal wavelets, with different number of
coefficients in the low pass and high pass filters, increase the number of operations and
the complexity of the design, but they have better SNR than the orthogonal filters. First,
the code was written in Verilog HDL and implemented on the FPGA using a 32 x 32
random image. Then, the code was taken through the ASIC design flow. For the ASIC
design flow, 8x8 memory considered to store the image. This architecture enables fast
computation of DWT with parallel processing. It has low memory requirements and
consumes low power. By using the same concepts which are mentioned above are useful
in designing the Inverse Discrete Wavelet Transform (IDWT).

SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK

Wavelet Transform had been used profusely for image compression tasks. But the
choice is not the ideal one. The partial reconstruction error from wavelet coefficients is an
order of magnitude higher than the ideal error rate for many critical application. Image
compression can be carried in the curvelet domain—a better choice compared to wavelets,
atleast theoretically, since the reconstruction error rate with curvelet coefficients is of the
same asymptotic order as that of the ideal error rate.
