Abstract

Orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is the most efficient algorithm used for the reconstruction of compressively sampled data signals in the implementation of compressive sensing. OMP operates in an iteration-based nature, which involves optimisation and least-square problem (LSP) as the main processes. However, optimisation and LSP processes comprise complex mathematical operations that are computationally demanding, and software-based implementations are slow, power-consuming, and unfit for real-time applications. To fill the research gap, we reviewed the optimisation and LSP techniques implemented on the FPGA platform as the hardware accelerator. Aspects that contributed to the performance, algorithm, and methods involved in the implemented works were discussed and compared. The methods were found to be improved when modified or combined. However, the best approach still depends on the requirement of the system to be developed, and this review is significant as a reference.

Abstract

The application of three-dimensional (3-D) medical image compression systems uses several building blocks for its computationally intensive algorithms to perform matrix transformation operations. Complexity in addressing large medical volumes data has resulted in vast challenges from a hardware implementation perspective. This paper presents an approach towards very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) implementation of 3-D Daubechies wavelet transform for medical image compression. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) algorithm is used to design the proposed architectures with pipelined direct mapping technique. Hybrid method use a combination of hardware description language (HDL) and G-code, where this method provides an advantage compared to traditional method. The proposed pipelined architectures are deployed for adaptive transformation process of medical image compression applications. The soft IP core design was targeted on to Xilinx field programmable gate array (FPGA) single board RIO (sbRIO 9632). Results obtained for 3-D DWT architecture using Daubechies 4-tap (Daub4) implementation exhibits promising results in terms of area, power consumption and maximum frequency compared to Daubechies 6-tap (Daub6).
