An MPEG-II audio decoder with a synthesis subband filter includes a fast IMDCT (Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) module and an IPQMF (Inverse Pseudo Quadrature Mirror Filter) module. The fast IMDCT module involves a butterfly stage of input subband samples which requires only about ¼ the amount of multiplier-accumulate computation of the ISO suggested method. The IPQMF module involves an efficient memory configuration which requires only half size of the standard synthesis subband filter bank.

The invention describes a simple and efficient codeword degrouping algorithm which can be applied in an MPEG audio decoder, in which a codeword is degrouped into three samples. According to the proposed algorithm, the division and modulo computations applied in the original degrouping method can be fully substituted into the addition and subtraction computations by using the mode selection and iterative decompositions, and thus largely reduces the overhead and complexity for the decoder. Also, an efficient architecture for the proposed algorithm includes one special adder, two subtractors, and two adders. The architecture generates the quotient and remainder simultaneously with fix-rate throughput.

A hardware structure for inverse quantization and multichannel processing in MPEG-2 audio decoding is provided, which includes 5 groups of first-in-first-out (abbreviated as FIFO) registers, each group of which has 3 FIFO registers and are connected in series; a multiplier capable for receiving an internal data processing feedback from the last FIFO group of FIFO registers; a single register; a first adder/subtractor capable for receiving a feedback from the first group of FIFO registers and its output being fed to the first group of FIFO registers; a second adder/subtractor capable for receiving a feedback from a second group of FIFO registers. The second group of FIFO registers stores an output from the second adder/subtractor or an output from the first group of FIFO registers; a third group of FIFO registers stores an output from the single register or an output from the second group of FIFO registers; a fourth group of FIFO registers stores an output from the third group of FIFO registers; and so on. The single register output the calculated value of the multiplier as an output of the structure or to at least one of the first second adder/subtractor, second adder/subtractor and the third group of FIFO registers.

The invention discloses a 9-cell array architecture with data-rings for 3-step hierarchical search (3SHS) block-matching algorithm. With the efficient data-rings and memory organization, the regular raster-scanned data flow and comparator tree-like structure can be used to simply internal I/O controller and reduce latency. In addition, we can utilize techniques to reduce external memory accesses and interconnections. The results demonstrate that the array architecture with the data-rings is low in terms of latency, memory bandwidth and costs and a high performance solution for the 3 SHS.

An architecture for performing the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform includes a transform module including a first stage and a second stage for decomposing an input image into four bands, and among the four bands, the band having the low frequency in both horizontal and vertical direction serves as the input image for next level decomposition operation; a multiplexer for selecting the band having the low frequency in both horizontal and vertical direction as the input image to feed into the transform module; and an optional memory module for storing the band having the lowest frequency in both horizontal and vertical direction. The polyphse decomposition technique is employed to the decimation filters of the first stage for segmenting the coefficients of the decimation filters of the first stage into an odd-numbered part and an even-numbered part, and the coefficient folding technique is employed to the decimation filters of the second stage such that every two coefficients of the decimation filters of the second stage share one set of a multiplier, an adder, and a register.

We discloses an efficient method for compressing a color image, visual block pattern truncation coding (VBPTC), in which the conventional block truncation coding (BTC) serves to encode an original image. This method defines the edge block according to human visual perception. If the difference between the two quantized values of BTC in a block is larger than a threshold which is defined by visual characteristics, the block will be identified as an edge block. In an edge block, the bitmap is adapted to compute block gradient orientation and to match the block pattern.
