Toward a Dynamic Threshold for Quality-Score Distortion in Reference-Based Alignment

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Ana Angelica Hernandez Lopez

The intrinsic high entropy metadata, known as quality scores, are largely the cause of the substantial size of sequence data files. Yet, there is no consensus on a viable reduction of the resolution of the quality score scale, arguably because of collatera ...

An Evaluation Framework for Lossy Compression of Genome Sequencing Quality Values

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Ana Angelica Hernandez Lopez

This paper provides the specification and an initial validation of an evaluation framework for the comparison of lossy compressors of genome sequencing quality values. The goal is to define reference data, test sets, tools and metrics that shall be used to ...

Comparison of high-throughput sequencing data compression tools

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) data are commonly stored as raw sequencing reads in FASTQ format or as reads mapped to a reference, in SAM format, both with large memory footprints. Worldwide growth of HTS data has prompted the development of compression ...

H2B2VS (HEVC Hybrid Broadcast Broadband Video Services) – building innovative solutions over hybrid networks

Claudio Paolo Alberti

Broadcast and broadband networks continue to be separate worlds in the video consumption business. Some initiatives such as HbbTV have built a bridge between both worlds, but its application is almost limited to providing links over the broadcast channel t ...

A Methodology For Optimizing Buffer Sizes Of Dynamic Dataflow Fpgas Implementations

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Simone Casale Brunet, Ab Al Hadi Bin Ab Rahman

Minimizing buffer sizes of dynamic dataflow implementations without introducing deadlocks or reducing the design performance is in general an important and useful design objective. Indeed, buffer sizes that are too small causing a system to deadlock during ...

Exploring MPEG HEVC decoder parallelism for the efficient porting onto many-core platforms

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Simone Casale Brunet, Damien Jack De Saint Jorre

MPEG High Efficient Video Coding (HEVC) is likely to emerge as the video coding standard for HD and Ultra-HD TV resolutions. The two elements that push HEVC beyond the previous standards are a higher compression efficiency of about a factor of two, and the ...

ECMA-407: New Approaches to 3D Audio Content Data Rate Reduction with RVC-CAL

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

Inverse problems have only been known in spatial audio for a very short time; their only solution, called "inverse coding" in literature, is essentially based on time-level modeling. Inverse problems, however, unlike parametric coding, require only an init ...
