Discrete wavelet transforms (DWTs) have led the revolutions in image and video coding systems over the past decade. In this book, the DWT is presented from the VLSI design perspective, and the related theories, algorithms, and architectures are discussed for 1D, 2D, and 3D DWT.

The book provides a comprehensive analysis and discussion of DWTs and their applications including important materials and the newest developments in wavelet processing. For example, the architecture designs of 2D DWT in JPEG 2000 and the development of motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) are explored.
