High efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard, introduced by joint collaborative team on video coding (JCT-VC) is the newest international standard of video compression. This standard provides more compression and better video quality, compared to the previous standards such as H.264. The higher compression efficiency is obtained at the cost of an increase in the computational load. One of the portions...
This paper presents the optimization of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) configurations for systems implemented with two modulation schemes: differential phase shift keying (DPSK) and differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK). This paper investigates the possibility of applying a new FBG configuration based on standard spread spectrum sequences. Phase encoding using FBG is applied in both systems...
Efficient subgraph queries in large databases are a time-critical task in many application areas as e.g. biology or chemistry, where biological networks or chemical compounds are modeled as graphs. The NP-completeness of the underlying subgraph isomorphism problem renders an exact subgraph test for each database graph infeasible. Therefore efficient methods have to be found that avoid most of these...
Interconnects are becoming a major bottleneck in the design of modern Systems-on-Chip. Power consumption, propagation delay, statistical variability, and reliability are some of the key challenges that must be addressed to fully optimize the interconnect architecture. This work provides a thorough review and analysis of the advantages and possibilities of coding for addressing the aforementioned challenges...
The basic idea of the video data mining is based on the content of multimedia features and the semantics related to these properties, from large multimedia data sets and analysis of the underlying discovery, effective, valuable, and understandable patterns. In this paper, based on multi-encoding mode for real-time trans-coding of video streams we firstly research on the input data reuse pattern matching...
The H.264 encoder has input parameters that determine the bit rate and distortion of the compressed video and the encoding complexity. These encoding parameters may significantly affect not only the encoding performance, but also affect the cross-layer design optimization for the video streaming transmission over wireless networks. However, it is very difficult to derive the impact factors of these...
A comprehensive optimal regulation model for distribution networks is presented, which utilizes the reactive power regulating means, sectionalizing and tie switchers to reduce active power losses. A loop-based coding scheme is proposed for reconfiguration description. The reactive tabu search algorithm is employed to get the optimal solution. The efficiency of the proposed method is identified by...
Summary form only given. In this paper we propose a video coding optimization strategy for H.264/AVC encoder which uses HVS (Human Visual System) theory to improve the visual quality. It is based on a basic rule that sensitivity of distortion is different according to the image property. Most existing coding strategies which allocate fixed parameters to each unit within a frame are not reasonable...
Nowadays, it is possible to optimize the storage size of large files in distributed environments, maintaining the same availability level in the system. Although replication (backups) is the most used option, it is possible to make use of erasure coding in order to significantly compress the storage size [1]. However, using erasure coding, more information needs to be transmitted than when using replication,...
This paper introduces an adaptive scanning order for bitplane image coding engines, which is devised from a rate-distortion optimization perspective that uses recent advances in coefficient modeling and distortion estimation. The main idea is to always select the next coefficient to be coded so that image distortion and code stream length are minimized. The sequence of visited coefficients is adapted...
We study the problem of coding of unordered sets of words, appearing in natural language processing, retrieval, machine learning, computer vision, and other fields. We note that this problem is different from the problem of coding of a particular sequence of same words, and show that up to log(m!) bits (where m is the number of words in the set) can be saved by specialized codes for sets. We propose...
This paper introduces a new class of rate less forward error correction codes named semi-random Kite (SR-Kite) codes, which can be described by a sparse semi-random parity-check matrix in systematic form. SR-Kite codes have not only rate less property, but also low error floors. We present a simulation-based greedy optimization algorithm to design the degree distribution of SR-Kite codes for independent...
Mobile broadcasting MIMO systems differ in several essential ways from conventional MIMO applications, especially when they are operating in single-frequency networks. There are certain channel features, like the imbalance of received average powers, which should be taken into account in system design. In this paper, space-time coding that allows reduced complexity maximum likelihood decoding of the...
In cognitive radio (CR) networks, cooperative relaying is a promising technology to improve the performance of secondary users (SUs), while ensuring the quality of service (QoS) of primary transmissions. Most previous work in CR relay networks concentrates on maximizing physical layer QoS, e.g., system capacity, as the design criteria. However, the application layer QoS perceived by SUs, such as multimedia...
In many real-world applications, the accurate number of clusters in the data set may be unknown in advance. In addition, clustering criteria are usually high dimensional, nonlinear and multi-model functions and most existing clustering algorithms are only able to achieve a clustering solution that locally optimizes them. Therefore, a single clustering criterion sometimes fails to identify all clusters...
In our previous work, the rate-distortion optimized transform (RDOT) is introduced for Intra coding, which is featured by the usage of multiple offline-trained transform matrix candidates. The proposed RDOT achieves remarkable coding gain for KTA Intra coding, while maintaining almost the same computational complexity at the decoder. However, at the encoder, the computational complexity is increased...
Inter-picture prediction uses a local decoded picture for the reference, in order to avoid a mismatch between encoding and decoding. However, this scheme does not necessarily result in optimal coding efficiency since it requires encoding the processing altogether. Therefore, we study the use of the original picture as the reference. In this case, although the mismatch causes degradation of the picture...
In this paper, an efficient search center definition algorithm is proposed for H.264/AVC. H.264/AVC achieved high coding efficiency by introducing some new coding tools including a new definition of the search center. However, the definition of the search center is not efficient in the case of significant motions. This work proposes some new search center candidates using spatial and temporal correlations...
Many image/video codecs are constructed by the combination of various coding tools such as block division/scanning, branch selection and entropy coders. Codec researchers are developing new coding tools, and seeking versatile combinations that offer improved coding efficiency for various images/videos. However, because of the huge amount of the combination, deriving the best combination is impossible...
In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized instantly decodable network coding (G-IDNC) to further minimize decoding delay in wireless broadcast, compared to strict instantly decodable network coding (S-IDNC), studied in. G-IDNC loosens the strict instant decodability constraint in order to target more receivers while preserving the attractive properties of S-IDNC. We show that the minimum...
