In this paper, we propose an efficient pipeline architecture for the DWT 9/7 filter defined in JPEG 2000. The proposed architecture is composed of column and row processors to perform the separable 2-D DWT. Based on the rescheduling DWT algorithm, we derive a new data flow graph to shorten the critical path. The proposed 1-D column processor requires less pipeline registers to achieve about the same critical path compared with other lifting-based architectures. For the row processor, the data dependency of each lifting step is reduced to only two computation nodes and therefore more pipeline registers can be applied to achieve higher processing speed without increasing the internal memory size in the 2-D case. That is, for an NxN image, it only requires 4N internal memory to perform the row-wise transform. For the memory bit-width
