This paper discusses the mapping between the discrete cosine transforms of types VI and VII and the discrete Fourier transform, particularly focusing on even-length sequences. The authors present a method for mapping real-valued data sequences to an intermediate form suitable for the 1D DFT, showcasing its applications in image and video coding. The findings highlight that the discrete sine transforms of types VI and VII are emerging as effective tools, potentially suitable for inclusion in high-efficiency video coding standards.
