【 摘 要 】

The 2D Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is a computationally intensive task that is usually implemented on specific architectures in many imaging systems in real time. In this paper, a high throughput edge or contour detection algorithm is proposed based on the discrete wavelet transform. A technique for applying the filters on the three directions (Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal) of the image is used to present the maximum of the existing contours. The proposed architectures were designed in VHDL and mapped to a Xilinx Sparten6 FPGA. The results of the synthesis show that the proposed architecture has a low area cost and can operate up to 100 MHz, which can perform 2D wavelet analysis for a sequence of images while maintaining the flexibility of the system to support an adaptive algorithm.
