+# Now let's talk about the DCT algorithm. The canonical definition for it is

- cr = W(-i,N).real
- ci = W(-i,N).imag
+# This trivial algorithm uses N*N multiplications and N*(N-1) additions.

- imag = even_output[i].real * ci - even_output[i].imag * (1+cr)
- output[N/2-i] = real + 1j * imag
+# One possible decomposition on this calculus is to use the fact that C (i, N)
+# and C (2*N-i, N) are opposed. This can lead to this decomposition :
- output[N-i] = conjugate(output[i])
- output[N/2+i] = conjugate(output[N/2-i])
+#def unscaled_DCT (N, input, output):

+
+# Now the even part can easily be calculated : by looking at the C(k,N)
+# formula, we see that the even part is actually an unscaled DCT of size N/2.
+# The odd part looks like a DCT of size N/2, but the coefficients are
+# actually C ((2*i+1)*(2*o+1), 2*N) instead of C ((2*i+1)*o, N).
+
+# We use a trigonometric relation here :
+# 2 * C ((a+b)/2, N) * C ((a-b)/2, N) = C (a, N) + C (b, N)
+# Thus with a = (2*i+1)*o and b = (2*i+1)*(o+1) :
+# 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)

+# This function does N adds, then N/2 muls, then 2 recursive calls with

+# additions. So this is much faster than the canonical algorithm.
+
+# Some of the multiplication coefficients 0.5/cos(...) can get quite large.
+# This means that a small error in the input will give a large error on the
+# output... For a DCT of size N the biggest coefficient will be at i=N/2-1
+# and it will be slighly more than N/pi which can be large for large N's.
+
+# In the IDCT however, the multiplication coefficients for the reverse

+# We can invert this algorithm to calculate the IDCT. The final multiply

+# to take into account the special properties of this particular DFT for that.
+

+# give a large error on the output... For a DCT of size N the biggest

+# coefficients are the conjugates of the ones we look anyway.
+
+# One useful way to use the symetry of the input is to use the radix-2
+# decimation-in-frequency algorithm. We can write a version of
+# unscaled_DFT_radix2_freq for the case where the input is symetrical :
+# we have removed a few additions in the first stages because even_input
+# is symetrical and odd_input is antisymetrical. Also, we have modified the

+# part of the DFT output is not modified. After that modification, the second
+# part of the odd_input was null so we used the radix-2 decimation-in-frequency
+# again on the odd DFT. Also odd_output is symetrical because input is real...

+# We thus get a better performance with the AAN DCT algorithm than with the

+# additions and 80 multiplies. With the AAN algorithm, we also have the
+# advantage that a big number of the multiplies are actually grouped at the
+# output stage of the algorithm, so if we want to do a DCT followed by a
+# quantization stage, we will be able to group the multiply of the output with
+# the multiply of the quantization stage, thus saving 32 more operations. In
+# the mpeg audio layer 1 or 2 processing, we can also group the multiply of the

+# implementation uses 28 adds and 6+8 muls instead of 29 adds and 5+8 muls -
+# the difference is that in the symetrical_unscaled_DFT procedure, they noticed
+# how odd_input[i] and odd_input[N/4-i] will be combined at the start of the
+# complex-to-real DFT and they took advantage of this to convert 2 real adds
