Media content distribution constitutes a growing share of the services on the Internet. Two distinct distribution approaches used today are Layered Coding (LC) and Multiple Description Coding (MDC). Current wireless connection technologies, e.g. Wimax, hav ...
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 presents an algorithm in a purely lossless text compression setting based on fountain codes and the Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT). The scheme consists of five stages, each of which is briefly described in the paper. The algorithm offers encour ...
This paper introduces an algorithm for sparse approximation in redundant dictionaries, called the M-Term Pursuit (MTP), based on the matching pursuit approach (MP). This algorithm decomposes the signal into a linear combination of selected atoms, chosen to ...
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 ...
Recent progress in 3-D capture technology has made it possible to obtain much of realistic motion data of human subjects. Being captured in high frame rates, compression or extraction of key postures out of the motion data is useful for storage, transfer a ...

The present paper describes a new method for manufg. a nanostructured porous layer of TiO2 on a conducting glass substrate for use in a dye-sensitized photoelectrochem. cell. The method involves deposition of a layer of semiconductor particles onto a condu ...
Chondrocytes depend upon solute transport within the avascular extracellular matrix of adult articular cartilage for many of their biological activities. Alterations to bioactive solute transport may, therefore, represent a mechanism by which cartilage com ...
