Progressive coding of 3D objects based on overcomplete decompositions

Pascal Frossard, Pierre Vandergheynst, Ivana Tosic

This paper presents a progressive coding scheme for 3D objects, based on an overcomplete decomposition of the 3D model on a sphere. Due to increased freedom in the bases construction, redundant expansions have shown interesting approximation properties in ...

On Network Correlated Data Gathering

Martin Vetterli, Razvan Cristescu

We consider the problem of correlated data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total transmission cost of transporting the information collected by the nodes, to the sink node. Two c ...

Scaling Laws for Correlated Data Gathering

Martin Vetterli, Razvan Cristescu

Consider a set of correlated sources located at the nodes of a network, and a sink to which the data from all the sources has to arrive. We address the minimization of a separable joint communication cost function given by the product [rate]

New Entropy Based Combination Rules in HMM/ANN Multi-stream ASR

Hervé Bourlard, Hemant Misra, Vivek Tyagi

Classifier performance is often enhanced through combining multiple streams of information. In the context of multi-stream HMM/ANN systems in ASR, a confidence measure widely used in classifier combination is the entropy of the posteriors distribution outp ...

3D encoding/2D decoding of medical data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gloria Menegaz

We propose a fully three-dimensional wavelet-based coding system featuring 3D encoding/2D decoding functionalities. A fully three-dimensional transform is combined with context adaptive arithmetic coding; 2D decoding is enabled by encoding every 2D subband ...

Optimal Filter Banks for Multiple Description Coding: Analysis and Synthesis

Martin Vetterli, Pier Luigi Dragotti

Multiple description (MD) coding is a source coding technique for information transmission over unreliable networks. In MD coding, the coder generates several different descriptions of the same signal and the decoder can produce a useful reconstruction of ...

An ASIC implementation of adaptive arithmetic coding

Andreas Peter Burg

In this work, we present an improved version of an ASIC implementation of the adaptive arithmetic coding algorithm which uses a two-level memory hierarchy. We propose algorithmic modifications and a special hardware structure to speed-up the design without ...

Wavelet footprints and frames for signal processing and communication

Pier Luigi Dragotti

Linear transforms and expansions are fundamental mathematical tools of signal processing. In particular, the wavelet transform has played an important role in several signal processing tasks, compression being a prime example. A signal can be represented i ...

Lossy to lossless object-based coding of 3-D MRI data

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Gloria Menegaz

We propose a fully three-dimensional object-based coding system exploiting the diagnostic relevance of the different regions of the volumetric data for rate allocation. The data are first decorrelated via a 3D discrete wavelet transform. The implementation ...

Analysis of optimal filter banks for multiple description coding

Martin Vetterli, Pier Luigi Dragotti

We study the problem of multiple description (MD) coding of stationary Gaussian sources with memory. First, we compute an approximate rate distortion region for these sources, which we prove to be asymptotically tight at high rates: this region generalizes ...
