Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is met efficiently since modified Wallace Tree method is an efficient, hardware implementable digital circuit that multiplies two integers resulting an output with reduced delays and errors. Nearly 6% of delays and around 1% of gate counts are reduced. The number of look up tables consumed is 2% lesser than that of the previous multipliers. Thus an area efficient discrete cosine transform is built to achieve high throughput with minimum gate counts and delays for the required Peak Signal to Noise Ratio when compared to the existing DCT’s.
