Abstract—We consider the problem of side-information scalable (SI-scalable) source coding, where the encoder constructs a two-layer description, such that the receiver with high ...
We consider the properties of optimal xed-rate and entropy-constrained scalar quantizers for nite alphabet sources. In particular, w econsider conditions under which the optimal s...
— Multiple Description Coding (MDC) can be used as an Error Resilience (ER) technique for video coding. In case of transmission errors, Error Concealment can be combined with MDC...

Video-on-demand (VOD) is a very promising multimedia application of the near future. In order for such a service to be commercially viable, efficient storage and retrieval schemes...
