ABSTRACT:
A method and computer system for separating an image into a sequence of wavelet bands, which are equivalent in value to the conventional sequence of wavelet bands, without rearranging the pixel data elements representing the image. The sequence of bands represent different values in reproducing the image. The method of processing the image includes the first step of storing the pixel data elements as first and second packed data sequences in a memory with the pixel data elements stored in an order. A set of intermediate results are generated by performing arithmetic operations between the corresponding pixel data elements of the first and second packed data sequences. The set of intermediate results are then used to generate the sequence of bands by performing arithmetic operations between the intermediate results.
