796 output[o] = output[o] + input[i] * C ((2*i+1)*o, N)
798 # This trivial algorithm uses N*N multiplications and N*(N-1) additions.
801 # One possible decomposition on this calculus is to use the fact that C (i, N)
802 # and C (2*N-i, N) are opposed. This can lead to this decomposition :
804 #def unscaled_DCT (N, input, output):
805 # even_input = vector (N)
806 # odd_input = vector (N)
807 # even_output = vector (N)
808 # odd_output = vector (N)
810 # for i in range(N/2):
811 # even_input[i] = input[i] + input[N-1-i]
812 # odd_input[i] = input[i] - input[N-1-i]

818 # output[2*i] = even_output[2*i]
819 # output[2*i+1] = odd_output[2*i+1]
821 # Now the even part can easily be calculated : by looking at the C(k,N)
822 # formula, we see that the even part is actually an unscaled DCT of size N/2.
823 # The odd part looks like a DCT of size N/2, but the coefficients are
824 # actually C ((2*i+1)*(2*o+1), 2*N) instead of C ((2*i+1)*o, N).
826 # We use a trigonometric relation here :
827 # 2 * C ((a+b)/2, N) * C ((a-b)/2, N) = C (a, N) + C (b, N)
828 # Thus with a = (2*i+1)*o and b = (2*i+1)*(o+1) :
829 # 2 * C((2*i+1)*(2*o+1),2N) * C(2*i+1,2N) = C((2*i+1)*o,N) + C((2*i+1)*(o+1),N)

856 # Notes about this algorithm :
858 # The algorithm can be easily inverted to calculate the IDCT instead :
859 # each of the basic stages are separately inversible...
861 # This function does N adds, then N/2 muls, then 2 recursive calls with
862 # size N/2, then N/2-1 adds again. If we apply it recursively, the total
863 # number of operations will be N*log2(N)/2 multiplies and N*(3*log2(N)/2-1) + 1
864 # additions. So this is much faster than the canonical algorithm.
866 # Some of the multiplication coefficients 0.5/cos(...) can get quite large.
867 # This means that a small error in the input will give a large error on the
868 # output... For a DCT of size N the biggest coefficient will be at i=N/2-1
869 # and it will be slighly more than N/pi which can be large for large N's.
871 # In the IDCT however, the multiplication coefficients for the reverse
872 # transformation are of the form 2*cos(...) so they can not get big and there
873 # is no accuracy problem.
875 # You can find another description of this algorithm at

918 # This leads us to the AAN implementation of the DCT algorithm : if we set
919 # both DFT_input[i] and DFT_input[2*N-1-i] to input[i], then the imaginary
920 # parts of W(2*i+1) and W(-2*i-1) will compensate, and output_DFT[i] will
921 # already be a real after the multiplication by W(i,4*N). Which means that

943 # We can try to take advantage of all that.

971 # part of the DFT output is not modified. After that modification, the second
972 # part of the odd_input was null so we used the radix-2 decimation-in-frequency

1029 # We thus get a better performance with the AAN DCT algorithm than with the
1030 # Lee DCT algorithm : we can do a DCT of size 32 with 189 additions, 54+32 real
1031 # multiplies, and 2 complex multiplies. The Lee algorithm would have used 209
1032 # additions and 80 multiplies. With the AAN algorithm, we also have the
1033 # advantage that a big number of the multiplies are actually grouped at the
1034 # output stage of the algorithm, so if we want to do a DCT followed by a
1035 # quantization stage, we will be able to group the multiply of the output with
1036 # the multiply of the quantization stage, thus saving 32 more operations. In
1037 # the mpeg audio layer 1 or 2 processing, we can also group the multiply of the
1038 # output with the multiply of the convolution stage...
1040 # Another source code for the AAN algorithm (implemented on 8 points, and
1041 # without all of the explanations) can be found at this URL :
1042 # http://developer.intel.com/drg/pentiumII/appnotes/aan_org.c . This
1043 # implementation uses 28 adds and 6+8 muls instead of 29 adds and 5+8 muls -
1044 # the difference is that in the symetrical_unscaled_DFT procedure, they noticed
1045 # how odd_input[i] and odd_input[N/4-i] will be combined at the start of the
1046 # complex-to-real DFT and they took advantage of this to convert 2 real adds
1047 # and 4 real muls into one complex multiply.
