Compression of Multispectral Images: Color (RGB) plus Near-Infrared (NIR)

Sabine Süsstrunk, Zahra Sadeghipoor Kermani, Neda Salamati

We propose a compression framework for four-channel images, composed of color (RGB) and near-infrared (NIR) channels, which exploits the correlation between the visible and the NIR information. The high-frequency components of both visible and NIR scene re ...

Rate Distortion Behavior of Sparse Sources

Martin Vetterli

The rate distortion behavior of sparse memoryless sources is studied. These serve as models of sparse signal representations and facilitate the performance analysis of "sparsifying" transforms like the wavelet transform and nonlinear approximation schemes. ...

Polar Coding Theorems for Discrete Systems

Eren Sasoglu

Polar coding is a recently invented technique for communication over binary-input memoryless channels. This technique allows one to transmit data at rates close to the symmetric-capacity of such channels with arbitrarily high reliability, using low-complex ...

Lossless Source Coding with Polar Codes

Satish Babu Korada, Harm Cronie

In this paper lossless compression with polar codes is considered. A polar encoding algorithm is developed and a method to design the code and compute the average compression rate for finite lengths is given. It is shown that the scheme achieves the optima ...

Source and channel coding using Fountain codes

Bertrand Ndzana Ndzana

The invention of Fountain codes is a major advance in the field of error correcting codes. The goal of this work is to study and develop algorithms for source and channel coding using a family of Fountain codes known as Raptor codes. From an asymptotic poi ...

Linear Universal Decoder for Compound Discrete Memoryless Channels

Rethnakaran Pulikkoonattu

Shannon in his seminal work \cite{paper:shannon} formalized the framework on the problem of digital communication of information and storage. He quantified the fundamental limits of compression and transmission rates. The quantity \textit{channel capacity} ...

Entropy coding of Quantized Spectral Components in FDLP audio codec

Petr Motlicek, Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy

Audio codec based on Frequency Domain Linear Prediction (FDLP) exploits auto-regressive modeling to approximate instantaneous energy in critical frequency sub-bands of relatively long input segments. Current version of the FDLP codec operating at 66 kbps h ...

Selected topics on distributed video coding

Mourad Ouaret

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW), and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). While conventional coding has a rigid complexity allocation as most of the complex tasks a ...

A comparative study of JPEG 2000, AVC/H.264, and HD Photo

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Frédéric Dufaux, Mourad Ouaret

In this paper, we report a study evaluating rate-distortion performance between JPEG 2000, AVC/H.264 High 4:4:4 Intra and HD Photo. A set of ten high definition color images with different spatial resolutions has been used. Both the PSNR and the perceptual ...

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. ...
