ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for performing a fast Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and a fast Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (IDCT) in a software implementation. The method provided exploits symmetries found in both the DCT and IDCT. As a result of the symmetries found in the DCT and IDCT, both transforms may be performed using a combination of look-up tables and butterfly operations, thus employing only a small number of additions and subtractions and no multiplications. Furthermore, there is provided an aspect of the present invention which exploits the excess precision available in current central processing units (CPUs) relative to the precision required by the DCT and IDCT calculations.
