Abstract

JPEG200, a new international standard for still image compression based on wavelet and bit-plane coding techniques, is developed. In this paper, we design the DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) and quantizer for JPEG2000 CODEC. DWT handles both lossy and lossless compression using the same transform-based framework: The Daubechies 9/7 and 5/3 transforms, and quantizer is implemented as SQ(Scalar Quantization). The architecture of the proposed DWT and SQ are synthesized and verified using Xilinx FPGA technology. It operates up to 30MHz, and executes algorithms of wavelet transform and quantization for VGA 10 frame per second.

본 논문은 차세대 정지영상 압축 표준으로서 Wavelet 변환과 Bit-plane 단위의 산술부호화(Arithmetic coding)에 기반한 JPEG2000 코덱의 Wavelet 변환과 양자화기의 하드웨어적 구조를 제안하고, 설계하였다. DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)는 Lossy coding과 Lossless coding에 각각 적용할 수 있는 Daubechies 9/7 필터와 Daubechies 5/3 필터를 선택 가능하도록 설계하였으며 양자화기는 Scalar Quantization 방식를 사용하였다. 설계된 DWT와 양자화기는 Xilinx FPGA technology를 이용하여 Synopsys에서 합성한 후 동작을 검증하였으며, 설계된 블록을 30㎒로 동작 시켰을 때 640×480 크기의 걸려 이미지의 경우 초당 10프레임의 성능을 보인다.
