In this work, we present accordion arrays, a straightforward and effective memory compression technique targeting Unicode-based character arrays. In many non-numeric Java programs...
Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) has proved to be an efficient coding tool in the design of open-loop scalable video codecs. In this paper we propose a MCTF video codi...
Compressed video bitstreams require protection from channel errors in a wireless channel. The threedimensional (3-D) SPIHT coder has proved its efficiency and its real-time capabi...
A new architecture for region of interest (ROI) image coding is proposed. ROIs are defined as image regions containing objects of interest, and an efficient algorithm proposed for...
Palette re-ordering is a well known and very effective approach for improving the compression of color-indexed images. If the spatial distribution of the indexes in the image is s...
