Block Truncation Coding is an image compression technique which is used globally in many online as well as offline graphical applications e.g. LCD overdrive etc. In this literature survey we will discuss many variants of Block Truncation coding and latest metamorphosed techniques which are introduced recently. These techniques are analyzed behalf on objective and subjective point of view. In th...

This document describes the Asynchronous Layered Coding (ALC) protocol, a massively scalable reliable content delivery protocol. Asynchronous Layered Coding combines the Layered Coding Transport (LCT) building block, a multiple rate congestion control building block and the Forward Error Correction (FEC) building block to provide congestion controlled reliable asynchronous delivery of content t...

Variable block size (VBS) transform coding techniques have been proven to be capable of enhancing performance of a fixed size transform coding system. However, the criterion of determining the block size used still remains to be devised. In this paper, a new criterion for quad-tree partitioning of images based on UMRT and a new UMRT based adaptive block size transform coder are proposed. The ne...

Intra-prediction is amethod for coding standalone frames in video coding. Until now, this hasmainly been done using linear formulae. Using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)may improve the prediction accuracy, leading to improved coding efficiency. In this degree project, Fully Connected Networks (FCN) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) were used for intra-prediction. Experiments were done...

A new mode selection method for intra-block coding in the H.264/MPEG-4 part 10 video-coding standard is proposed. There are nine 4 4 and four 16 16 intra-prediction modes for intra-block coding. Thus, to find the best intra-block coding mode for a 16 16 macroblock, all of the 144 (16 9) 4 4 and four 16 16 intra-modes need to be exhaustively computed and evaluated. We propose a context-based int...
