ABSTRACT:
This invention minimizes the number of non-trivial multiplications in the DCT process by rearranging the DCT process such that non-trivial multiplications are combined in a single process step. In particular, the DCT equations for the row-column application of the DCT process on k=pq points wherein p and q are relatively prime, are factored into a permutation matrix, a tensor product between matrices having p.times.p and q.times.q points, and a matrix whose product with an arbitrary vector having pq points requires pq-p-q+1 additions and/or subtractions. The tensor product is then further factored to remove non-trivial multiplications by developing a a first factor having (pq-p-q+1)/2 non-trivial multiplications and a diagonal matrix. The diagonal matrix is not unique for any set of data. Its j,j-th elements are chosen from a subproduct of the factorization of the tensor product. Once the diagonal matrix elements are chosen the remaining first factor is developed. When the factorization is complete, the diagonal matrix is absorbed into the quantization step which follows the DCT process. The quantization step is the multiplication of a diagonal matrix by the DCT output data. The quantization diagonal matrix is combined with the diagonal matrix of the DCT to form one multiplication process by which non-trivial elements multiply data. This combination of multiplication steps reduces the number of non-trivial multiplications in the DCT process.
