Compressed pattern matching is an emerging research area that addresses the following problem: given a file in compressed format and a pattern, report the occurrence(s) of the pat...
Modeling of the operational rate-distortion characteristics of a signal can significantly reduce the computational complexity of an optimal bit allocation algorithm. In this repor...
Providing continuous video playback with graceful quality degradation over wireless channels is fraught with challenges. Video applications require stringent delay guarantees and ...
A channel code allocation scheme is developed for transmission of video over error-prone channels. The system is designed to minimize the expected distortion of the video under a ...
This paper addresses the issue of robust and joint source-channel decoding of quasiarithmetic codes. Quasi-arithmetic coding is a reduced precision and complexity implementation o...
We present a statistical optimization framework for solving the end-to-end problem of progressive transmission of images over noisy channels. We consider the impacts of transmissi...
A hybrid video coding scheme which combines fractal coding with neighbourhood vector quantisation is reported. While fractal coding exploits the redundancy present in different sc...
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...
