Structuring of Contourlet Transform for Pipeline-Based Implementation
Abstract
Contourlet transform (CT) is a powerful image processing tool. Even though many promising applications have been proposed, no hardware implementation of CT has been reported. This paper analyzes CT to form a structure which is hardware implementable. CT consists of two main parts, Laplacian pyramid (LP) and directional filter bank (DFB). In both parts, novel algorithmic changes are proposed for realizing efficient hardware architecture. In the …
