Abstract
A Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for an entire original sequence is obtained using the DCT coefficients representing the first half and the second half of the original sequence. This is useful when calculation of DCTs of a certain length is supported by hardware and/or software and different size DCTs must be calculated. Example areas of application include still image and video transcoding and scalable image and/or video coding.
