Abstract

A processor is provided for transforming N.times.N discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients F.sub.uv inputted from a run-length-code 5 (RLC) decoder and arranged in an input order into an image data f.sub.jk in an integrated circuit through a 2-D inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) procedure wherein subscripts u and v of DCT coefficients F.sub.uv are input frequency indices respectively having least significant bits (LSB) u.sub.0 and v.sub.0 having an exclusive-OR (XOR) and subscripts j and k of image data f.sub.jk are spatial indices generated by the integrated circuit, which comprises a cosine pre-multiplier array for computing cosine-weighted DCT coefficients, a principal subkernel mapper utilizing the cosine-weighted DCT coefficients by first referring to the indices u and v for forming a principal N/2.times.N/2 subkernel-weighted matrix F.sub.uv C.sub.1.sup.uv, an N.times.N accumulating matrix operating with the principal N/2.times.N/2 subkernel-weighted matrix F.sub.uv C.sub.1.sup.uv for progressively accumulating the image data f.sub.jk, and an output buffer for loading the image data f.sub.jk from the N.times.N accumulating matrix and transferring the image data f.…
