We propose an approach to lossy source coding, utilizing ideas from Gibbs sampling, simulated annealing, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The idea is to sample a reconstructio...
We consider the transmission of a Gaussian source through a block fading channel. Assuming each block is decoded independently, the received distortion depends on the tradeoff betw...

This paper presents a data hiding technique for printed bicolor documents. It inserts tiny dots, hardly noticeable at normal reading distance, to embed the message. For message ex...
