The discrete Pascal transform and its applications

We introduce a new discrete polynomial transform constructed from the rows of Pascal’s triangle. The forward and inverse transforms are computed the same way in both the oneand two-dimensional cases, and the transform matrix can be factored into binary matrices for efficient hardware implementation. We conclude by discussing applications of the transform in

Efficient implementation of discrete Pascal transform using difference operators

An alternative way is provided to define the discrete Pascal transform using difference operators to reveal the fundamental concept of the transform, in both one- and two-dimensional cases, which is extended to cover non-square two-dimensional applications. Efficient modularised implementations are proposed.

Pascal Filters

We introduce a new type of filter approximation method and call it the Pascal filter, which we construct from the Pascal polynomials. The roll-off characteristics of the Pascal, Butterworth, and the Chebyshev filters are compared.
