DCT-Former: Efficient Self-Attention with Discrete Cosine Transform

Image Steganography Using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Blowfish Algorithm

Steganography is one of the methods of secret communication that hides the existence of message so that a viewer cannot detect the transmission of message and hence cannot try to decrypt it. It is the process of embedding secret data in the cover image without significant changes to the cover image. A cryptography algorithm is used to convert the secret messages to an unreadable form before emb...

The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT): Theory and Application

Transform coding constitutes an integral component of contemporary image/video processing applications. Transform coding relies on the premise that pixels in an image exhibit a certain level of correlation with their neighboring pixels. Similarly in a video transmission system, adjacent pixels in consecutive frames 2 show very high correlation. Consequently, these correlations can be exploited ...

Energy-Efficient Discrete Cosine Transform on FPGAs

The 2-D discrete cosine transform (DCT) is an integral part of video and image processing; it is used in both the JPEG and MPEG encoding standards. As streaming video is brought to mobile devices, it becomes important that it is possible to calculate the DCT in an energy-efficient manner. In this paper, we present a new algorithm and processing element (PE) architecture for computing the DCT wi...

JPEG Encoder using Discrete Cosine Transform & Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform

In the past decade, the advancement in data communications was significant during explosive growth of the Internet, which led to the demand for using multimedia in portable devices. Video and Audio data streams require a huge amount of bandwidth to be transferred in an uncompressed form. The objective of this paper is to minimize the number of bits required to represent an image and also the ac...
