Abstract :
This paper presents the design and implementation of three-dimensional (3-D) Daubechies with transpose-based method for medical image compression. Due to the separability property of the multi-dimensional Daubechies, the proposed architecture has been implemented using a cascade of three N-point one-dimensional (1-D) Daubechies and two transpose memories for a 3-D volume of N×N×N, suitable for 3-D medical imaging applications. The architectures were synthesised using VHDL and implemented on Altera® Cyclone II (EP2C35F672C6) field programmable gate array (FPGA). Experimental results and an analysis of the area, power consumption and maximum frequency are discussed in this paper.
