We extend recent work on rate-distortion optimized streaming of video to include the case when multiple, independently encoded and packetized versions of the video are available f...
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a fast automated whitenoise estimation method which gives reliable estimates in images with smooth and textured areas. This method is a b...
Fractal image codes are very sensitive to bit errors because the decoding of a block is dependent not only on the code information associated to this block but also on the code in...
A fixed-rate lattice vector quantizer for generalized Gaussian (GG) sources is presented. By using the contour of counstant probability of a generalized Gaussian source to bound t...
In this paper, we explore a new paradigm for data management in which a third party service provider hosts "database as a service" providing its customers seamless mecha...
