In this paper, functional requirements for the MPEG 2 coding method are presented and, as an implementation method of these requirements, a hierarchical video coding scheme is proposed. in the proposed coding method, the prediction efficiency is increased by introducing spatial prediction in addition to temporal prediction as used in the MPEG 1 coding method. The hierarchical scheme is also characterized by the following features. (1) The input format is an output device-independent noninterlaced video;(2) the coder has a hierarchical structure that permits the resolution level to be selected by the user;(3) by means of a small number of operations and a wide compensation area, the coder gives a motion-detection method which detects motion vectors of each layer and a coding method of motion vectors;and (4) the proposed coding system introduces the use of down/up sampling processes with no phase distortion. Furthermore, the coding data description method is realized as an extension of that used by MPEG 1 and thus retains the compatibility. Simulation experiments show that this coding method satisfies the functional requirements without any obvious decrease in coding efficiency.

In this paper, a new model of the uniform polar quantizer with three-stage hierarchical coding is proposed, for the analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion of measurement signals with the Gaussian distribution. The aim is to design quantizer with small complexity which can achieve very good performances. Proposed model accomplishes this aim. Applied code uses variable-length codewords, in order to achieve compression. The proposed model achieves much better performances (for 2-3 dB higher SQNR (signal-to-quantization noise ratio) for the same bit-rate) compared to the uniform scalar quantizer. Due to its small complexity and very good performances, the proposed model is suitable for using in many measurement systems for A/D conversion of measurement signals. This model especially can be useful in measurement systems where transmission of measurement signals is performed (e.g. telemetry, telemedicine, wireless sensor networks, etc.). The proposed model is applied for compression of a vibration signal. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

We extend the setting of two-stage lossy source coding with successive refinement structures into a joint source-channel coding setting. In particular, we consider a problem where two descriptions of a memoryless source are to be transmitted across two independent memoryless channels and where the output of the channel corresponding to the first (coarse) description is also available to the decoder of the second (refinement) decoder. Side information (SI), correlated to the source, may also be available to the decoders. In such a case, we confine attention to degraded SI, in the sense that the source, the SI available at the refinement decoder, and the SI available at the coarse decoder form a Markov chain in this order. Our first result is a separation theorem asserting that in the limit of long blocks, no optimality is lost by first applying lossy successive-refinement source coding, regardless of the channels, and then applying good channel codes to each one of the resulting bitstreams, regardless of the source and the SI. It is also shown that (even noiseless) feedback from the output of the first channel to the input of the second encoder cannot improve performance, but may sometimes significantly facilitate the implementation of optimum codes. We provide two examples where single-letter codes (of unit block length) achieve optimum performance, if feedback from the channel output of the first stage is provided to the encoder of the refinement stage. In one of these examples, it is evident that if feedback is not provided, optimality cannot be achieved with unit length code. Motivated by these examples, we then investigate single-letter codes for this system. Necessary and sufficient conditions are furnished for the optimality of single-letter codes with and without feedback. A corollary of these conditions is that for the quadratic distortion measure, feedback is necessary to achieve optimality in single-letter codes, regardless of the source distribution and t

In this paper, a novel hierarchical lossless image coding scheme using the cellular neural network (CNN) is proposed. The coding architecture of the proposed method is based on the lifting scheme that is one of the scalable coding framework for still images, and its coding performance strongly depends on the prediction ability. To cope with this spontaneously characteristic, an image interpolation is modeled by an optimal problem that minimizes the prediction error. To achieve the high accuracy prediction with a low coding rate, two types of templates are used for dealing with the local structure of the image, and the CNN parameters are decided by the minimum coding rate learning. In the coding layer, the arithmetic coder with context modeling is used for obtaining a high coding efficiency. Experimental results in various standard test images suggest that the coding performance of our proposed method is better than that of conventional hierarchical coding schemes.

Lossy video coding can be achieved by using the H.264 Advanced Video coding. Some methods have been proposed to transform this coder into a lossless one. The hierarchical lossless video coding structure with new intra algorithm prediction was proposed to reach this goal. In this paper we proposed some enhancements of this method to improve the coding efficiency. The simulation results show that the proposed enhancements reduce the total bit of the coded sequence and the execution time.

This work studies problems of source and joint source-channel coding under the requirement that the encoder can produce an exact copy of the compressed source constructed by the decoder. This requirement, termed here as the common reconstruction constraint (CR), is satisfied automatically in rate-distortion theory for single sources. However, in the common formulation of problems of lossy source coding with side information at the decoder (the Wyner-Ziv problem), distributed source coding, and joint source-channel coding for networks, the destination can exploit the information it receives in a manner that cannot be exactly reproduced at the sender side. Some applications, like the transmission of sensitive medical information, may require that both sides-the sender and the receiver-will share a common version of the compressed data, for the purpose of future discussions or consulting. The purpose of this work is to study the implications of CR constraints on the achievable rates in scenarios of lossy source coding and lossy transmission of sources. Three problems are examined: source coding with side information at the decoder, simultaneous transmission of data and state over state-dependent channels, and joint source-channel coding for the degraded broadcast channel. Single-letter characterizations of the optimal performance are developed for these problems, under corresponding CR constraints. Implications of this constraint on problems of joint source-channel coding in networks are discussed.

Transmission of compressed video over packet networks with nonreliable transport benefits when packet loss resilience is incorporated into the video coding, One promising approach to packet loss resilience, particularly for transmission over networks offering dual priorities such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, is based on layered coding which uses at least two bitstreams to encode video, The base-layer bitstream, which can be decoded independently to produce a lower quality picture, is transmitted over a high priority channel, The enhancement-layer bitstream(s) contain less important information, so that packet losses are more easily tolerated, The MPEG-2 International Standard provides four methods to produce a layered video bitstream: data partitioning, signal-to-noise ratio scalability, spatial scalability, and temporal scalability, Each of these techniques was included in the standard in part for motivations other than loss resilience, This paper compares the performance of these techniques (excluding temporal scalability) under various loss rates using realistic length video material and discusses their relative merits taking implementation issues into consideration. Nonlayered MPEG-2 coding gives generally unacceptable video quality for packet loss ratios of 10(-3) for small (single ATM cell) packet sizes, Better performance can be obtained using layered coding and dual-priority transmission, With data partitioning, the simplest to implement among the three, cell loss ratios of 10(-4) in the low-priority layer are definitely acceptable, while for SNR scalable encoding, cell loss ratios of 10(-3) are generally invisible, even to experienced viewers, Spatial scalable encoding can provide even better visual quality under packet losses;however, it has a high implementation complexity.

A design approach is presented which allows the optimization of coefficients for symmetric and separable finite impulse response (FIR) interpolation filters for multiresolution coding schemes, The interpolation filters serve as optimal inverse filters in the Wiener sense and are designed to match the characteristics of the specific filters used for decimation as well as for the statistics of ''typical'' images to be reconstructed, Applied to the coding of test images in a four-level progressive pyramid scheme, the optimal interpolation filters generated substantially improved rate-distortion results compared to conventional filters.

We propose an embedded, block-based, image wavelet transform coding algorithm of low complexity. It uses a recursive set-partitioning procedure to sort subsets of wavelet coefficients by maximum magnitude with respect to thresholds that are integer powers of two. It exploits two fundamental characteristics of an image transform-the well-defined hierarchical structure, and energy clustering in frequency and in space. The two partition strategies allow for versatile and efficient coding of several image transform structures, including dyadic, blocks inside subbands, wavelet packets, and discrete cosine transform (DCT). We describe the use of this coding algorithm in several implementations, including reversible (lossless) coding and its adaptation for color images, and show extensive comparisons with other state-of-the-art coders, such as set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) and JPEG2000. We conclude that this algorithm, in addition to being very flexible, retains all the desirable features of these algorithms and is highly competitive to them in compression efficiency.

Channel coding for single-user channels with rate-limited, coded, partial channel state information at the transmitter and full side information (SI) at the receiver is studied. In the first part of the current work, we consider joint source-channel state channel coding. In particular, we deal with lossy transmission of a source, over a cost-constrained state controlled channel where the receiver gets full SI and the transmitter receive coded partial SI. We derive a single-letter characterization of the achievable distortion-cost triples. From this characterization, a separation principle follows for both, coding of the main source and the transmitter SI. In the second part, we consider channel coding when the transmitter receives multiple partial, rate-limited descriptions of the state, and the receiver gets full SI. Two rate-limited descriptions of the state sequence are generated and conveyed to the transmitter, where each description can be lost independently during this transmission. For three different possible partial SI at the transmitter, we explore a channel coding strategy with three different forward channel rates. Inner and outer bounds are derived on the set of achievable partial description and forward channel rates. Furthermore, special cases where the inner bound is tight are studied. Similarities between coding of SI as multiple partial descriptions and the multiple description problem of source coding theory are pointed out.
