Abstract
The current state of JPEG 2000 Part 1 is an international standard. Although it provides unprecedented features not available in other standards, lots of the technical bottlenecks are still unsolved in its image processing algorithms, especially in the novel embedded block encoding operations. In this thesis, bit-level we propose a new architecture for ECBOT. The architecture can perform parallel processing coding to increase the throughput of context formation. Column skipping can skip columns which have four no-operation bits. In addition, in the memory structure, we separate data and allocate into 9 memories. In the arithmetic encoder, a 4-stage pipeline is used to reduce the clock cycle time. Besides, a data-forward technique is used in 4-stage pipeline architecture to process two identical contexts continuously inputted. The proposed architecture is shown to have high throughput. We have average 22% improvement in throughput by comparing [2]. It needs 0.385 second to encode an image with 2400x1800 image size. This design can support further applications such as Motion-JPEG2000.
