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

where, G_m is the 〖2 〗^(log_2^(n-m) )* n matrix containing low pass wavelet filter coefficients consequent to scale m = 1, 2, ..., L, and H_L is the matrix of scaling function high pass filter coefficients at the coarsest scale. The matrix, WX has the same size of the input data matrix, X, but after wavelet decomposition, the deterministic component in each variable in X is concentrated in a relatively small number of coefficients in WX, while the stochastic component in each variable is approximately decorrelated in WX, and is increased over all components according to its power spectrum. Theorem 1 shows the relation between the PCA and X and WX.

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

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.
The MMX technology introduces new general-purpose instructions. These instructions operate in parallel on multiple data elements packed into 64-bit quantities. They perform arithmetic and logical operations on the different data types. These instructions accelerate the performance of applications with compute-intensive algorithms that perform localized, recurring operations on small native data. This includes applications such as motion video, combined graphics with video, image processing, audio synthesis, speech synthesis and compression, telephony, video conferencing, 2D graphics, and 3D graphics
Temporal analysis is performed with a contracted, high frequency version of the prototype wavelet, while frequency analysis is performed with a dilated, low frequency version of the same wavelet. Mathematical formulation of signal expansion using wavelets gives Wavelet Transform pair, which is analogous to the Fourier Transform (FT) pair. Discrete-time and discrete-parameter version of WT is termed as Discrete Wavelet Transform. DWT can be viewed in a similar framework of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) with its efficient implementation through fast filterbank algorithms similar to Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)
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
As we all know that Exascale computers runs million processors which generates data at a rate of terabytes per second. It is impossible to store data generated at such a rate. Methods like dynamic reduction of data by summarization, subset selection, and more sophisticated dynamic pattern identification methods will be necessary to reduce the volume of data. And also the reduced volume needs to be stored at the same rate which it is generated in order to proceed without interruption. This requirement will present new challenges for the movement of data from one super computer to the local and remote storage systems. Data distribution have to be integrated into the data generation phase. This issue of large scale data movement will become more acute as very large datasets and subsets are shared by large scientific communities, this situation requires a large amount of data to be replicated or moved from production to the analysis machines which are sometimes in wide area. While network technology is greatly improved with the introduction of optical connectivity the transmission of large volumes of data will encounter transient failure and automatic recovery tools will be necessary. Another fundamental requirement is the automatic allocation, use and release of storage space. Replicated data cannot be left

The wavelet type may also affect the value of the coefficients. By continuously varying the values of the scale parameter a, and the position parameter b, the CWT coefficients X (a, b) can be obtained. By multiplying each coefficient with the scale and shifted wavelet yields the constituents wavelet of the original signal. Normally the output X(a, b) is a real valued function when the mother wavelet is complex, the complex mother wavelet convert the CWT to a complex valued function. Comparing the signal to the wavelet at various positions and scales a function with two variable is obtained. The 2-D representation of the 1-D signal create redundancy i.e. ., the signal which is no longer useful for the analysis. The mother wavelet is the small wave, which is the prototype for generating other window function.
