The obvious recent advances in areas such as video compression and network architectures allow for the deployment of novel video distribution applications. These have the potential to provide ubiquitous media access to end users. In recent years, applicati ...
The following coding scenario is addressed: A number of audio source signals need to be transmitted or stored for the purpose of mixing wave field synthesis, multi channel surround, or stereo signals after decoding the source signals. The proposed techniqu ...
A perceptually motivated spatial decomposition for two-channel stereo audio signals, capturing the information about the virtual sound stage, is proposed. The spatial decomposition allows to re-synthesize audio signals for playback over other sound systems ...
The standard separable 2-D wavelet transform (WT) has recently achieved a great success in image processing because it provides a sparse representation of smooth images. However, it fails to efficiently capture 1-D discontinuities, like edges or contours. ...
This paper addresses the problem of efficient representation and compression of scenes captured by distributed vision sensors. We propose a novel geometrical model to describe the correlation between different views of a three-dimensional scene. We first a ...
In the problem of lossy source coding with side-information, it is well known (Wyner and Ziv 1976) that knowledge of the side-information at the encoder improves the rate-distortion trade-off for binary sources and the Hamming distortion measure. We consid ...
We consider dense networks of surveillance cameras capturing overlapped images of the same scene from different viewing directions, such a scenario being referred to as multi-view. Data compression is paramount in such a system due to the large amount of c ...
The addition of a feedback link to a discrete memoryless channel does not increase its capacity, but it does bring with it other benefits. One of these benefits is an increase to the best achievable error exponent. In the first part of this thesis we revis ...
We consider a lossy source coding problem where the description of a source is going to be used by two decoders, each having access to information correlated with the source. This side-information is also present at the encoder. We give inner and outer bou ...
For parametric stereo and multi-channel audio coding, it has been proposed to use level difference, time difference, and coherence cues between audio channels to represent the perceptual spatial features of stereo and multi-channel audio signals. In practi ...
