Shannon proved that if we can transmit bits reliably at rates larger than the rate distortion function R(D), then we can transmit this source to within a distortion D. We answer th...
Abstract-- Information theory provides a novel perspective on passive sonar performance analysis. This approach begins by partitioning the search space and then considers the probl...
This paper focuses on the mode decision and motion selection problem when H.264/AVC video streams are transcoded in spatial resolution. A fast downsizing transcoding scheme is dev...
- Rate-distortion theory is applied to the problem of joint compression and classification. A Lagrangian distortion measure is used to consider both the squared Euclidean error in ...
The geometric features of images, such as edges, are difficult to represent. When a redundant transform is used for their extraction, the compression challenge is even more dif...
