VLSI Implementation of Compression Engine using DWT/IDWT for JPEG 2000 in VHDL

This paper presents an approach towards VLSI implementation of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for image compression. The design follows the JPEG2000 standard and can be used for both lossy and lossless compression. In order to reduce complexities of the design, linear algebra view of DWT and IDWT has been used in this paper. This design can be used for image compression in a robotic system.
