Discrete wavelet transform has an inherent time-scale locality characteristics which provided an efficient tool for various fields like signal compression, signal analysis, etc. This led to the development of various architectures that implements DWT. The original pixels are highly correlated, thus applying the compression algorithms directly does not provide an efficient compression ratio. Hence, DWT is applied which is a powerful tool to de correlate the image pixels. The 2-D wavelet filters which are separable functions, is implemented first by row-DWT and then column DWT which produces four sub band namely LL, LH, HL and HH in every decomposition level. Filtering a signal corresponds to the mathematical convolution operation of impulse response of the filter to the input signal and that is mathematically represented as,
Due to the large number of computations and storage required in the conventional DWT method, a new approach had been developed, known as “lifting scheme”. It is a new method of constructing wavelet basis, which was introduced by Swelden (1996). The lifting based forward DWT as shown in Fig.3 involves three basic steps as follows:
In this proposed method shown in Fig.7, image pixels are taken in a block manner instead of singe row. First the row processor computes 1D DWT output. Then the result is produced in the vertical manner. The vertical 1D DWT outputs are now ready for the column wise filtering operation; it leads to generate 2D DWT output. From the column processor output components LL, LH, HL and HH, the detailed component LL is useful for the compressed image retrieval. This block row processor takes block of rows which improves the speed of operation as compared with the previously proposed para...

8. CONCLUSION
In this paper, we presented a comparative study of 2D DWT architectures, lifting based implemented using parallel filter and block row processor, fast convolution using booth-Wallace multiplier and distributed arithmetic structure with memory based was made. The effects of area, power, delay I/O pins were analyzed from the synthesis results using Xilinx Spartan 2E family XCs2S50E device. The efficient architecture depends on the low power, area, I/O pins and faster operation. We found that the Distributed Arithmetic based architecture removes the multiplier which in turn provides minimized area, I/O pins and delay for the image size 512 x 512 operated at 20 MHz

Color is widely remarked as one of the most demonstrative visual features, and as such it has been largely studied in the context of CBIR, thus number one to a rich variety of descriptors. As traditional color features used in CBIR, there are color histogram, color correlogram, and dominant color descriptor (DCD) [1,3,4]. A simple color similarity between two images can be
When it comes to recording in a modern day environment DAW’s (digital audio workstation) are an essential piece of equipment if professional standard results are desired. Although DAW’s are considered a modern technological advancement the first attempt at a DAW was in 1977 and it came from Dr. Tom Stockham’s Soundstream (See references for full description) digital system. It had very powerful editing capabilities and for its time a very advanced crossfader but was still primitive compared to today’s standard. At this moment there are 100’s of DAW’s on the market but arguably there some obvious leaders. Avid’s Pro Tools has been the go to DAW for any professional studio for the past 20 years and although there have been rumors of Avid going out of business and the features in Pro Tools becoming dated, Pro Tools is still a viable option for studios worldwide. Logic Pro has risen to the fore-front of the industry in recent years due to its easy to use interface that is possible of producing professional results. Ableton Live strays away from a hardware instrument music environment to cater for electronic music users. Audio to MIDI is a main focus along with the critically acclaimed Max for Live used for live performances by many current EDM artists. Each individual DAW has its own pros and cons and comparing these can highlight which DAW is the best for what task.

After the initial pre processing steps of smoothening and removal of noise, the edge strength is calculated by taking the gradient of the image. For the purpose of edge detection in an image, the Sobel operator first performs a 2-D spatial gradient measurement with the help of convolution masks. The convolution masks used is of the size 3X3, where one is used to calculate the horizontal gradient(Gx) while the other is used to calculate the vertical gradient(Gy). Then, the approximate absolute edge strength can be calculated at each point. The masks used for the convolution process is as shown

The current-mode implementation of logic gates is a very important for current mode analog signal processing system. Mixed analog/digital electronic circuits are becoming increasingly important. Digital electronic circuits are mostly designed in CMOS technology. To be able to integrate the digital and analog parts on to one chip, high performance analog CMOS circuits are required (Ismail and Fiez, 1994) and a large number of mixed analog/digital VLSI integrated circuits realized in state-of-the-art digital CMOS technologies are now available (Laker and Sansen, 1994).
Text Box: Figure1To reduce file size other bitmap image formats ie. GIF, PNG, and JPEG incorporate compressed algorithms. The type of compression used differs with each format, but they all represent an image as a grid of pixels. Uncompressed BMP files are significantly larger than compressed bitmaps so take longer to download. Which is why the majority of images seen on the web are compressed bitmaps. Regardless of the file format, your image will look blurry when zoomed in on because each dot will take up more than one pixel.
Digital Image Processing is one of the fast pace growing and intresting field in the subject of computer Engineering.Its importance can be shown by the fact that it is disciplinary subject that is part of different
This proposed multiplier uses a reduction format with predetermined stage heights for having quick results and further minimum power delay product (PDP).When the Simulation results were performed using HSPICE at 0.18µm CMOS technology, the 8x8 multiplier shows optimal speed performance against basic Dadda Tree multiplier and Wallace Tree Multiplier implemented with and without 4-2 Compressors with minimal transistor count and PDP. This proposed reduction format can also be applied to higher order NxN multipliers for high speed
This implies that the mean square error (MSE) introduced during the quantization of the Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) coefficients is equal to the MSE in the reconstructed signal. This is desirable since it implies that the quantized can be considered in the transform domain to take advantage of the wavelet decomposition structure. The synthesis filters are transposes of analysis filters. However, in the case of 44 45 biorthogonal wavelets, the basic functions are not orthogonal and thus not energy preserving. Hence, we use the orthogonality parameter to measure the wavelet's deviation from orthogonality. It is given by:
The 3-D DWT can be considered as a combination of three one dimensional DWT in the x, y and z directions, as shown in Fig. 3.1. The preliminary work in the DWT processor design is to build 1-D DWT modules, which are composed of high-pass and low-pass filters that perform a convolution of filter coefficients and input pixels. After a one-level of - discrete wavelet transform, the volume of image is decomposed into HHH, HHL, HLH, HLL, LHH, LHL, LLH and LLL signals as shown in the Fig. 3.1 [1].
Image retrieval is the process of handling large volume of image database in order to achieve the efficiency in identifying similar images over the retrieved results. In Image retrieval, a choice of various techniques is used to represent images for searching, indexing and retrieval with either supervised or unsupervised learning models. The color feature extraction process consists of two parts: grid based representative of color selection [B.S.Manjunath, 2001] and discrete cosine transform with quantization. Color feature extraction is a very compact and resolution invariant representation of high speed image retrieval systems and it has been designed to efficiently represent the
CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction to ADC: Analog refers to physical quantities that vary continuously instead of discretely. The physical phenomena typically involve analog signals. We have many examples like speed, temperature, pressure, voltage, etc. But microprocessors work with digital quantities, means the values which are taken from discrete domain. To interact analog systems with digital systems or digital systems with analog systems conversion is needed.
