If B < ∞ we call F = {fi}i∈I a Bessel sequence with Bessel bound B. If 0 < A ≤ B < ∞, then {fi}i∈I is a frame for K. If K 6= H we call {fi}i∈I a frame sequence in H. The largest A and the smallest B satisfying the above inequalities are called the optimal lower and upper frame bound and will be denoted A(F) and B(F) respectively. If A = B = λ we call this a λ-tight frame and if λ = 1 it is call...

This investigation seeks to establish the practicality of numerical frame approximations. Specifically, it develops a new method to approximate the inverse frame operator and analyzes its convergence properties. It is established that sampling with well-localized frames improves both the accuracy of the numerical frame approximation as well as the robustness and efficiency of the (finite) frame...

We construct non-tight frames in finite-dimensional spaces consisting of periodic functions. In order for these frames to be useful in practice one needs to calculate a dual frame; while the canonical dual frame might be cumbersome to work with, the setup presented here enables us to obtain explicit constructions of some particularly convenient oblique duals. We also provide explicit oblique du...

This paper proves that every frame of windowed exponentials satisfies a Strong Homogeneous Approximation Property with respect to its canonical dual frame, and a Weak Homogeneous Approximation Property with respect to an arbitrary dual frame. As a consequence, a simple proof of the Nyquist density phenomenon satisfied by frames of windowed exponentials with one or finitely many generators is ob...

Multiple frame prediction has proved successful in increasing the performance of motion compensated video coders. Region-of-interest (ROI) coding in conjunction with a dual frame predictor can lead to interesting design choices on how to allocate the available bitrate among the frame regions. In this work, we tackle the problem of applying ROI coding on aerial imagery and then on standard video...

Data from complex survey designs require special consideration with regard to estimation of finite population parameters and corresponding variance estimation procedures, as a consequence of significant departures from the simple random sampling assumption. In the past decade a number of statistical software packages have been developed to facilitate the analysis of complex survey data. All the...
