An Adaptive Block Truncation Coding Scheme and Its Data-Driven Parallel Implementation

Recently, space-time block coding has emerged as a promising spatial transmit diversity scheme, mainly due to its simple decoding complexity. As it was initially proposed, spacetime block coding was based on the assumption of flat multipath fading channel, where there is no intersymbol interference. In this paper, we investigate the performance of two different receiver proposals using space-ti...

Block Truncation Coding (BTC) is a simple and fast lossy image compression technique for digitized gray scale images. In this paper, a novel idea for further reducing the bit rate is introduced. The BTC and its two other variants, one being the Absolute Moment Block Truncation Coding (AMBTC) are discussed and the proposed idea is incorporated in all the three methods. A bitrate of 2 bpp is achi...

This poster contains two contributions to very-low-bitrate video coding. First, we show that in contrast to common practice incremental techniques for rate-distortion optimization such as the generalized BFOS algorithm may clearly outperform the standard technique based on Lagrangian multipliers. This is relevant in cases where the computation of RDpoints has a low complexity. An implementation...

This paper presents a paraunitary filter bank (PUFB) based on a direct lifting structure of a building block and its inverse transform for lossless-to-lossy image coding. Although the conventional liftingbased filter banks (LBFBs), which are constructed by lifting structures with integer coefficients and rounding operations, suffer from degradation of coding performance due to much rounding err...

In this paper, knots are considered as smooth embeddings of a circle into ℝ3 defined by their flat diagrams. We propose new method coding T-graphs describing the torsion structure on diagram. For coding, we introduce conceptions cycle and block describe transformations under first third Reidemeister moves applied to diagram knot.
