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 accumulate a (1/k(1)) portion of one image. In addition, a (2/k(1)) portion of each image is buffered locally. The proposed hardware has been implemented on an FPGA and is part of a JPEG2000 compression system designed as a payload for a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) micro-satellite, which will be launched in August 2003.

In this paper, we present an architecture and a hardware implementation of the 2-D 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.

Enhancing the accuracy of the interpolations and anterpolations in MLFMA
Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006-01-01)
We present an efficient technique to reduce the interpolation and anterpolation (transpose interpolation) errors in the aggregation and disaggregation processes of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA), which is based on the sampling of the radiated and incoming fields over all possible solid angles, i.e., all directions on the sphere. The fields sampled on the sphere are subject to various operations, such as interpolation, aggregation, translation, disaggregation, anterpolation, and integration....
A high performance Sigma-Delta readout circuitry for mu g resolution microaccelerometers
Ocak, Ilker E.; Kepenek, Reha; Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-08-01)
This paper reports a second order electromechanical sigma-delta readout for micro-g resolution accelerometers in addition to other high-sensitivity capacitive microsensors with large base capacitance. The chip implements a switched-capacitor readout front-end and an oversampled sigma-delta modulator, and hence can be used for both open-loop analog readout and closed-loop control and readout with direct digital output. The readout circuit has more than 115 dB dynamic range and can resolve less than 3 aF/root...
An FPGA implementation of real-time electro-optic & IR image fusion
Çölova, İbrahim Melih; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, a modified 2D Discrete Cosine Transform based electro-optic and IR image fusion algorithm is proposed and implemented on an FPGA platform. The platform is a custom FPGA board which uses ALTERA Stratix III family FPGA. The algorithm is also compared with state of the art image fusion algorithms by means of an image fusion software application GUI developed in Matlab®. The proposed algorithm principally takes corresponding 4x4 pixel blocks of two images to be fused and transforms them by means...
