Can the sample being transmitted be used to refine its own PDF estimate?

چکیده
Many image coders map the input image to a transform domain, and encode coefficients in that domain. Usually, encoders use previously transmitted samples to help estimate the probabilities for the next sample to be encoded. This backward probability estimation provides a better PDF estimation, without need to send any side information. In this paper we propose a new method of encoding that goes one step further: besides past samples, it also uses information about the current sample in computing the PDF for the current sample. Yet, no side information is transmitted. The initial PDF estimate is based on a Tarp filter, but probabilities are then progressively refined for nonzero samples. Results are superior to JPEG2000, and to bit-plane Tarp.

University autonomy and accountability have been playing such a vital role in all aspects of university governance that their importance cannot be over emphasized. Autonomy can be defined as “the right of a group of people to govern itself or to organize its own activities” and being autonomous means “being independent and having the power to make your own decisions”. On the other hand, account...

The field of cognitive psychology has increasingly provided scientific insights to explore how humans are subject to unconscious sources of evidentiary bias, leading to errors that can affect judgement and decision-making. Increasingly these insights are being applied outside the realm of individual decision-making to the collective arena of policy-making as well. A recent editorial in this jou...

We present a measurement of the probability distribution function (PDF) of the transmitted flux in the Lyα forest from a sample of 3492 quasars included in the SDSS DR3 data release. Our intention is to investigate the sensitivity of the Lyα flux PDF as measured from low resolution and low signal-to-noise data to a number of systematic errors such as uncertainties in the mean flux, continuum an...

The statistical analysis of spatial data is usually done under Gaussian assumption for the underlying random field model. When this assumption is not satisfied, block bootstrap methods can be used to analyze spatial data. One of the crucial problems in this setting is specifying the block sizes. In this paper, we present asymptotic optimal block size for separate block bootstrap to estimate the...
