The high repair cost of (n, k) Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) erasure codes has recently motivated a new class of codes, called Regenerating Codes, that optimally trade off stor...
This paper proposes a data pruning-based compression scheme to improve the rate-distortion relation of compressed images and video sequences. The original frames are pruned to a s...
Scalar quantizers with uniform encoders and channel optimized decoders are studied for uniform sources and binary symmetric channels. It is shown that the Natural Binary Code and ...
A vector enhancement of Said and Pearlman's Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) methodology, named VSPIHT, has recently been proposed for embedded wavelet image co...
Palette re-ordering is a well known and very effective approach for improving the compression of color-indexed images. If the spatial distribution of the indexes in the image is s...
