Abstract

The JPEG standard (ISO/IEC 10918-1 ITU-T Recommendation T.81) defines compression techniques for image data. As a consequence, it allows to store and transfer image data with considerably reduced demand for storage space and bandwidth. From the four processes provided in the JPEG standard, only one, the baseline process is widely used. In this paper FPGA based High speed, low complexity and low memory implementation of JPEG decoder is presented. The pipeline implementation of the system, allow decompressing multiple image blocks simultaneously. The hardware decoder is designed to operate at 100MHz on Altera Cyclon II or Xilinx Spartan 3E FPGA or equivalent. The decoder is capable of decoding Baseline JPEG color and gray images. Decoder is also capable of downscaling the image by 8. The decoder is designed to meet industrial needs. JFIF, DCF and EXIF standers are implemented in the design
