We combine multiple description (MD) quantization, entropy coding, and data partitioning to improve the error resiliency of images over varying packet loss channels. Our proposed ...
In this paper, we build multi-resolution source codes using entropy constrained dithered scalar quantizers. We demonstrate that for n-dimensional random vectors, dithering followe...
Enabling parallel processing is becoming increasingly necessary for video decoding as performance requirements continue to rise due to growing resolution and frame rate demands. I...
Aiming towards the development of a general clustering theory, we discuss abstract axiomatization for clustering. In this respect, we follow up on the work of Kleinberg, ([1]) tha...
This paper illustrates a method, called heat, for image indexing based on texture information. The texture's partitioning element is first put into 1-D form and then its Hier...
