Distributed Successive Refinement of Multiview Images Using Broadcast Advantage

Martin Vetterli, Guillermo Barrenetxea Kobas, Zichong Chen

In environmental monitoring applications, having multiple cameras focus on common scenery increases robustness of the system. To save energy based on user demand, successive refinement image coding is important, as it allows us to progressively request bet ...

Anti-uniform Huffman codes

In this study, the authors consider the class of anti-uniform Huffman (AUH) codes. The authors derived tight lower and upper bounds on the average codeword length, entropy and redundancy of finite and infinite AUH codes in terms of the alphabet size of the ...

Polar Coding Theorems for Discrete Systems

Eren Sasoglu

Polar coding is a recently invented technique for communication over binary-input memoryless channels. This technique allows one to transmit data at rates close to the symmetric-capacity of such channels with arbitrarily high reliability, using low-complex ...

On the Information Rates of the Plenoptic Function

Martin Vetterli, Minh Do

The plenoptic function describes the visual information available to an observer at any point in space and time. Samples of the plenoptic function (POF) are seen in video and in general visual content (images, mosaics, panoramic scenes, etc.), and rep- res ...

Linear Universal Decoder for Compound Discrete Memoryless Channels

Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Shannon in his seminal work \cite{paper:shannon} formalized the framework on the problem of digital communication of information and storage. He quantified the fundamental limits of compression and transmission rates. The quantity \textit{channel capacity} ...

Polar codes for channel and source coding

Satish Babu Korada

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Tight bounds on the AUH codes

Ali Kakhbod

In this paper we consider the class of anti-uniform Huffman codes and derive tight lower and upper hounds on the average length, entropy, and redundancy of such codes in terms of the alphabet size of the source. Also an upper bound on the entropy of AUH co ...

Variability-Aware Design of Multilevel Logic Decoders for Nanoscale Crossbar Memories

Giovanni De Micheli, Mihai Adrian Ionescu, David Atienza Alonso, Didier Bouvet, Kirsten Emilie Moselund, Yusuf Leblebici, Mohamed Haykel Ben Jamaa

The fabrication of crossbar memories with sublithographic features is expected to be feasible within several emerging technologies; in all of them, the nanowire (NW) decoder is a critical part since it bridges the sublithographic wires to the outer circuit ...

Selected topics on distributed video coding

Mourad Ouaret

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW), and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). While conventional coding has a rigid complexity allocation as most of the complex tasks a ...

A comparative study of JPEG 2000, AVC/H.264, and HD Photo

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Frédéric Dufaux, Mourad Ouaret

In this paper, we report a study evaluating rate-distortion performance between JPEG 2000, AVC/H.264 High 4:4:4 Intra and HD Photo. A set of ten high definition color images with different spatial resolutions has been used. Both the PSNR and the perceptual ...
