Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

Yunus Inan

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Streaming From a Moving Platform with Real-Time and Playback Distortion Constraints

Laura Toni, Giuseppe Cocco

Video streaming from remotely controlled moving platforms such as drones have stringent constraints in terms of delay. In some applications such videos have to provide real-time visual feedback to the pilot with an acceptable distortion while satisfying hi ...

Approaching the Rate-Distortion Limit With Spatial Coupling, Belief Propagation, and Decimation

Nicolas Macris, Vahid Aref, Marc Vuffray

We investigate an encoding scheme for lossy compression of a binary symmetric source based on simple spatially coupled low-density generator-matrix codes. The degree of the check nodes is regular and the one of code-bits is Poisson distributed with an aver ...

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers2015

Successive refinement is a technique to encode a source iteratively, improving the distortion at each step. If the code rates of all steps combined can be as efficient as coding only for the final distortion in one go, then the source is said to be success ...

Distributed Compressed Representation of Correlated Image Sets

Vijayaraghavan Thirumalai

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 ...

On-Chip Digital Background Calibration of Pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converters using Digital Assistance to support Nonlinear Residue Amplification

Thomas Liechti

This thesis describes a novel digital background calibration scheme for pipelined ADCs with nonlinear interstage gain. Errors caused by the nonlinear gains are corrected in real-time by adaptively post-processing the digital stage outputs. The goal of this ...

The issue of how to efficiently represent the data collected by a network of microphones recording spatio-temporal acoustic wave fields is addressed. Each sensor node in the network samples the sound field, quantizes the samples and transmits the encoded s ...

Polar Codes for Q-ary Source Coding

Emre Telatar, Mohammad Karzand

Polar coding is a recent channel coding technique invented by Arikan to achieve the 'symmetric capacity' of binary-input memoryless channels. Subsequently it was observed by Korada and Urbanke that such codes are also good for lossy channel coding, achievi ...

Ieee Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, Po Box 1331, Piscataway, Nj 08855-1331 Usa2010

The two central topics of information theory are the compression and the transmission of data. Shannon, in his seminal work, formalized both these problems and determined their fundamental limits. Since then the main goal of coding theory has been to find ...

Approximating the Gaussian Multiple Description Rate Region Under Symmetric Distortion

Suhas Diggavi

We consider multiple description (MD) coding for the Gaussian source with K descriptions under the symmetric mean-squared error (MSE) distortion constraints, and provide an approximate characterization of the rate region. We show that the rate region can b ...
