Patent number: 7805476Abstract: A shared lossless Haar transform and an appended Haar transform are combined to form a lossless extended Haar transform in a pipeline architecture for providing fast lossless compressed data that is reversible. The extended Haar transform also provide intrinsic decorrelation for decorrelating corrected randomly generated numbers.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2005Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: The Aerospace CorporationInventor: Hsieh S.

Patent number: 7720299Abstract: A system provides lossless split and merge processes of integer discrete cosine transform (DCT) transformed data such that the discrete cosine transform of one data block may be split into two half length DCT odd and even blocks for merging, with split and merge processes being lossless and are generated in the discrete cosine transformed domain. After splitting, the redundancy existing between the two integer discrete cosine transformed half data blocks allows one to approximately reconstruct the original data block in case one of the discrete cosine transformed half data block is lost during transmission.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: The Aerospace CorporationInventor: Hsieh S. Hou

Patent number: 7577307Abstract: An adaptive lifting transform provides lossless image data compression on an improved edge prediction process.

Patent number: 7574064Abstract: The lifting transform reduces the number of lifting steps in lossless data compression while improving the overall rounding errors incurred in the real-to-integer conversion process at each of the lifting steps. The compression ratio increases when used for lossless image data compression. The lifting transform further saves memory space and decreases signal delay.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: August 11, 2009Assignee: The Aerospace CorporationInventor: Hsieh S. Hou

Patent number: 7552160Abstract: The integrated lifting transform provides both the lossy and lossless lifting wavelet transforms while sharing the same lifting chain for either lossy data compression or lossless data compression. The lifting steps can provide a lossless compression and a lossy compression directly from lossless compression while the integer-to-integer adaptive four-stage lifting wavelet transform provides the lossless compression with improved performance.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2005Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: The Aerospace CorporationInventor: Hsieh S.

Publication number: 20080288568Abstract: Fast Hadamard transforms (FHT) are implemented using a pipelined architecture having an input stage, a processing stage, and an output stage, the FHT having a single internal loop back between the output stage and the input stage, the processing stage having at least one Hadamard processing unit. The FHT implementations provided both forward and inverse transformations, and, lossless normalized and lossfull unnormalized transformations, while the FHT implementation includes only multiplexers, demultiplexer, latches, and shift registers, and while, the processing unit stage includes processing units using only shift registers and effective adders, for fast, low power, and low weight Hadamard transform implementations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2007Publication date: November 20, 2008Inventor: Hsieh S.

Patent number: 7437394Abstract: Discrete Cosine Transforms in a radix-2 block transform method enables true split and merge transform processing of equal sized data halves in the transform domain for enabling recursive merges and splits in transform domain without data degradation. Input data in the time domain or spatial domain during either the split and merge radix-2 forward transform processing is firstly transform processed followed by combinational processing. In the split transform process, whole transformed data is split using combinational processing into first and second transformed data halves in the transform domain as a true split. In the merge transform process, first and second transform halves are merged using combinational processing into a merged transformed data whole in the transform domain. In either case, time or spatial domain input data can be transformed into the transform domain in the form of split halves or merged whole.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2002Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: The Aerospace CorporationInventor: Hsieh S.
