Lifting-Based Fractional Wavelet Filter: Energy-Efficient DWT Architecture for Low-Cost Wearable Sensors by Mohd Tausif, Ekram Khan, Mohd Hasan, Martin Reisslein

“…In order to reduce the memory requirement of the proposed architecture, only one image line is read into a buffer at a time. Aside from an LFrWF version with multipliers, i.e., the LFrWFm, we develop a multiplier-less LFrWF version, i.e., the LFrWFml, which reduces the critical path delay (CPD) to the delay Ta of an adder. …”
