Image size? Color or BW? To be honest, I doubt you will find one.

Assuming 640x480 BW images, and a wavelet transform algorithm with a
complexity O(n log n) this would already require almost 600 million
"operations" per second, where one "operation" certainly is more than one
CPU instruction. Even using highly optimized SSE algorithms I think the
speed you want is only achievable if the images are very small.
