We consider the problem of distributed average consensus in a sensor network where sensors exchange quantized information with their neighbors. We propose a novel quantization scheme that exploits the increasing correlation between the values exchanged by ...

We investigate an encoding scheme for lossy compression based on spatially coupled Low-Density Generator-Matrix codes. The degree distributions are regular, or are Poisson on the code-bit side and check-regular which allows use for any compression rate. Th ...
Vision sensor networks and video cameras find widespread usage in several applications that rely on effective representation of scenes or analysis of 3D information. These systems usually acquire multiple images of the same 3D scene from different viewpoin ...
The rate-distortion performance of a distributed video coding system strongly depends on the characteristics of the side information. One could naively think that the best side information is the one with the largest PSNR with respect to the original corre ...

We study the source coding problem in sensor networks deployed to monitor the evolution of spatio-temporal temperature distributions. The sensors sample the temperature field, quantize the samples and transmit the encoded samples through digital channels t ...

We study a new encoding scheme for lossy source compression based on spatially coupled low-density generatormatrix codes. We develop a belief-propagation guided-decimation algorithm, and show that this algorithm allows to approach the optimal distortion of ...
Wireless communications in lossy media encounter growing interest, with applications as telemedicine, ground sensing, remote pipeline sensing, and food quality testing among others. As an application, an autonomous implantable Body Sensor Node for monitori ...
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 ...

We consider lossy source compression of a binary symmetric source using polar codes and the low-complexity successive encoding algorithm. It was recently shown by Arikan that polar codes achieve the capacity of arbitrary symmetric binary-input discrete mem ...

When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as a whole, a phenomenon called slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along the axis of mot ...
