Data compression on the sphere

Yves Wiaux, Jason Douglas McEwen

Large data-sets defined on the sphere arise in many fields. In particular, recent and forthcoming observations of the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) made on the celestial sphere contain approximately three and fifty mega-pixels respe ...

Polar Codes are Optimal for Lossy Source Coding

Rüdiger Urbanke, Satish Babu Korada

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 ...

Distributed Sampling of Signals Linked by Sparse Filtering: Theory and Applications

Martin Vetterli, Olivier Roy, Yue Lu, Ali Hormati

We study the distributed sampling and centralized reconstruction of two correlated signals, modeled as the input and output of an unknown sparse filtering operation. This is akin to a Slepian-Wolf setup, but in the sampling rather than the lossless compres ...

The role of the fluid phase in the viscous response of bovine periodontal ligament

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Marzio Bergomi

The mechanical response of the periodontal ligament (PDL) is complex. This tissue responds as a hyperelastic solid when pulled in tension while demonstrating a viscous behavior under compression. This intricacy is reflected in the tissue's morphology, whic ...

Netscope: Practical Network Loss Tomography

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen, Maciej Kurant, Denisa Gabriela Ghita

We present Netscope, a tomographic technique that infers the loss rates of network links from unicast end-to-end measurements. Netscope uses a novel combination of first- and second-order moments of end-to-end measurements to identify and characterize the ...

Multi-experts scheduling system for real-time applications

Mario Bellino

This thesis focuses on the decisional process of autonomous systems, and more particularly, on the way to take a decision when the time at disposal in order to assess the whole situation is shorter than necessary. Indeed, numerous systems propose solutions ...

Low bit-rate compression of omnidirectional images

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic

Omnidirectional images represent a special type of images that are captured by vision sensors with a 360-degree field of view. This work targets the compression of such images by taking into account their particular geometry. We first map omnidirectional i ...

Space-frequency quantization for image compression with directionlets

Martin Vetterli, Vladan Velisavljevic

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. ...

The JPEG 2000 still image compression standard

Touradj Ebrahimi

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new features. To address this need in the specific area of still image encoding, a new standard is currently being developed, the JPEC2000. It is n ...

Adaptive wavelet thresholding for image denoising and compression

Martin Vetterli

The first part of this paper proposes an adaptive, data-driven threshold for image denoising via wavelet soft-thresh- olding. The threshold is derived in a Bayesian framework, and the prior used on the wavelet coefficients is the generalized Gaussian distr ...
