초록

본 논문에서는 Motion JPEG2000 등의 이산 웨이블릿 기반의 고속 영상처리를 위해서 리프팅 방식의 효율적인 H/W 구조를 제안하였다. 리프팅 내부연산의 반복성을 이용하여 알고리즘 레벨에서 구조적인 사상을 적용하고 데이터 스케줄링을 이용하여 최적화되고 간략화된 리프팅 기반의 필터링 셀의 구조를 제안한다. 이를 바탕으로 (9,7) 및 (5,3) 필터를 모두 수용할 수 있는 리프팅 커널의 구조를 구현하였다. 제안된 리프팅 커널은 일정 대기지연 시간 후에 연속적으로 데이터를 출력할 수 있는 간략화된 구조를 갖고 있다. 시간적인 순서로 입력되는 데이터에 대해서 일정한 출력을 발생할 수 있기 때문에 단순히 H/W를 추가하면 병렬적인 동작을 통해서 높은 출력율을 간단히 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안된 리프팅 커널은 ASIC 및 FPGA 환경으로 모두 구현하였는데, ASIC으로는 삼성전자의 0.35㎛ CMOS 라이브러리를 이용하여 구현하였고 FPGA은 Altera사의 APEX을 타겟으로 하였다. ASIC의 경우 리프팅 연산을 위해 41,592개의 게이트 수와 라인 버퍼링을 위한 128Kbit의 메모리를 사용하였으며, FPGA의 경우 6,520개의 LE(Logic Element)와 128개의 ESB(Embedded System Block)을 사용하였다. 각각의 경우에 대해서 125MHz와 52MHz의 속도에서 안정적으로 동작할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we proposed an efficient hardware architecture of line-based lifting algorithm for Motion JPEG2000. We proposed a new architecture of a lifting-based filtering cell which has an optimized and simplified structure. It was implemented in a hardware accommodating both (9,7) and (5,4) filter. Since the output rate is linearly proportional to the input rate, one can obtain the high throughput through parallel operation simply by adding the hardware units. It was implemented into both of ASIC and FPGA The 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS library from Samsung was used for ASIC and Altera was the target for FRGA. In ASIC, the proposed architecture used 41,592 gates for the lifting arithmetic and 128 Kbit memory. For FPGA it used 6,520 LEs(Logic Elements) and 128 ESBs(Embedded System Blocks). The implementations were stably operated in the clock frequency of 128MHz and 52MHz, respectively.
