Conventional digital video playback systems provide only limited user interactivity, mostly in the form of VCRlike controls such as fast forward/backward, slow motion, pause/stop,...
We show that the problem of optimal bit allocation among a set of independent discrete quantizers given a budget constraint is equivalent to the multiple choice knapsack problem (...
- We consider a joint source-channel coding system that protects an embedded wavelet bitstream against noise using a finite family of channel codes with error detection and error c...
Vector wavelet transforms for vector-valued fields can be implemented directly from multiwavelets; however, existing multiwavelets offer surprisingly poor performance for transfor...
In this paper we propose an algorithm for image recovery where completely lost blocks in an image/video-frame are recovered using spatial information surrounding these blocks. Our...
Scalar quantizers with uniform encoders and channel optimized decoders are studied for uniform sources and binary symmetric channels. It is shown that the Natural Binary Code and ...
A novel method for the compression of angiogram video sequences is presented. The approach is based on the idea that not all of an angiogram image will de diagnostically significa...
We consider the properties of optimal xed-rate and entropy-constrained scalar quantizers for nite alphabet sources. In particular, w econsider conditions under which the optimal s...
In this paper, we present a family of new algorithms for rate-fidelity optimal packetization of scalable source bit streams with uneven error protection. In the most general settin...
Many applications in a variety of scientific domains produce datasets that consist of a data field lying on a sampling grid that may not be uniformly spaced. However, progressive ...
