Lagrangian minimization is one of the most powerful tools for Rate-Distortion optimal coding mode selection. However, in the latest video compression standard H.264/AVC, the total...
3D neuro-anatomical images and other volumetric data sets are important in many scientific and biomedical fields. Since such sets may be extremely large, a scalable compression me...
The emerging H.264 advanced video coding (H.264/AVC) standard achieves significant improvement in coding efficiency compared with previous standards such as MPEG-2 and H.263. On...
The new video coding standard, H.264 allows motion estimation performing on tree-structured block partitioning and multiple reference frames. This feature improves the prediction ...
Hardware/Software cosimulation is the key process to shorten the design turn around time. We have proposed a novel technique, called virtual synchronization, for fast and time acc...
