3. Project abstract

   In this project, we would like to implement DWT algorithm, which is
used as a very important algorithm in JPEG2000, in TI TMS32060.  We will
try to use the algorithm transformation techniques, such as unfolding
and retiming, to generate the code, then, we would like to compare the
result with existing implementations. 

   To address higher performance of still image encoding, a new image
compression standard is currently being developed, the JPEG2000.  It is
not only intended to provide rate-distortion and subjective image
quality performance superior to existing standards, but also to provide
features and functionalities that current standards can either not
address efficiently or in many cases cannot address at all. 

   DWT is a very important algorithm using in JPEG2000.  The standard
works on image tiles.  The term ‘tiling’ refers to the partition of the
original (source) image into rectangular non-overlapping blocks (tiles),
which are compressed independently, as though they were entirely
distinct images.  The tile components are decomposed into different
decomposition levels using DWT. 

   TI TMS32060 series DSP is popular.  Implementation of DWT on this
platform is a good way to get familiar with the DSP and DWT algorithm,
as well as the way to apply algorithm transformation techniques.  By
doing this project, we will get to know how to map the signal processing
algorithm onto a processor, which is a goal of this course.
