TRANSFORM DESIGN WITH SCALED AND NON-SCALED INTERFACES

摘要

Techniques for efficiently performing full and scaled transforms on data received via full and scaled interfaces, respectively, are described. A full transform is a transform that implements the complete mathematical description of the transform. A full transform operates on or provides full transform coefficients. A scaled transform is a transform that operates on or provides scaled transform coefficients, which are scaled versions of the full transform coefficients. The scaled transform may have lower computational complexity whereas the full transform may be simpler to use by applications. The full and scaled transforms may be for a 2D IDCT, which may be implemented in a separable manner with 1D IDCTs. The full and scaled transforms may also be for a 2D DCT, which may be implemented in a separable manner with ID DCTs. The 1D IDCTs and 1D DCTs may be implemented in a computationally efficient manner.
