This thesis presents an architecture and an FPGA implementation of the two dimensional discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) for applications where row-based raw image data is streamed in at high bandwidths and local buffering of the entire image is not feasible. The architecture is especially suited for multi-spectral imager systems, such as on board an imaging satellite, however can be used in any application where time to next image constraints require real-time processing of multiple images. The latency that is introduced as the images stream through the iii DWT module and the amount of locally stored image data, is a function of the image and tile size. For an n1 ₉ n2 size image processed using (n1/k1) ₉ (n2/k2) sized tiles the latency is equal to the time elapsed to accumulate a (1/k1) portion of one image. In addition, a (2/k1) portion of each image is buffered locally. The proposed hardware has been implemented on an FPGA and is part of a JPEG 2000 compression system designed as a payload for a low earth orbit (LEO) micro-satellite to be launched in September 2003. The architecture can achieve a throughput of up to 160Mbit/s. The latency introduced is 0.105 sec (6.25% of total transmission time) for tile sizes of 256₉256. The local storage size required for the tiling operation is 2 MB. The internal storage requirement is 1536 pixels. Equivalent gate count for the design is 292,447

A real time, low latency, hardware implementation of the 2-D discrete wavelet transformation for streaming image applications Benderli, O; Tekmen, YC; Ismailoglu, N (2003-08-29) In this paper, we present a 2-D Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) hardware for applications where row-based raw image data is streamed in at high bandwidths and local buffering of the entire image is not feasible. The latency that is introduced as the images stream through the DWT filter and the amount of locally stored image data is a function of the image and tile size. For an n(1) x n(2) size image processed using (n(1)/k(1)) x (n(2)/k(2)) sized tiles the latency is equal to the time elapsed to accum...
A Low-power memory CMOS integrated circuit for image sensors Üstündağ, Mithat Cem Boreyda; Akın, Tayfun; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) This thesis presents a low power SRAM block implemented in a 0.35 μm CMOS technology for imaging applications to be used inside a digital image processor ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). The SRAM structure is designed to be fast enough to store all the image data fed by a large format readout circuitry such as VGA (640x512), while requiring low power consumption. The low power consumption is a very critical requirement of such circuit, as the circuit will eventually be used in an embedded pla...
A Partition Based Method for Spectrum-Preserving Mesh Simplification Yazgan, Misranur; Sahillioğlu, Yusuf; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-8-29) When the complexity of a mesh starts introducing high computational costs, mesh simplification methods come into the picture, to reduce the number of elements utilized to represent the mesh. Majority of the simplification methods focus on preserving the appearance of the mesh, ignoring the spectral properties of the differential operators derived from the mesh. The spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator is essential for a large subset of applications in geometry processing. Coarsening a mesh without cons...
A NEW METHOD FOR HARMONIC RESPONSE OF NONPROPORTIONALLY DAMPED STRUCTURES USING UNDAMPED MODAL DATA Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 1987-09-08) A method of calculating the receptances of a non-proportionally damped structure from the undamped modal data and the damping matrix of the system is presented. The method developed is an exact method. It gives exact results when exact undamped receptances are employed in the computation. Inaccuracies are due to the truncations made in the calculation of undamped receptances. Numerical examples, demonstrating the accuracy and speed of the method when truncated receptance series are used are also presented. ...
