This paper proposes a novel lossless index compression algorithm that explores the interblock correlation in the index domain and the property of the codebook ordering. The goal of this algorithm is to improve the performance of the VQ scheme at low bit rate while keeping low computation complexity. In this algorithm, the closest codeword in the codebook is searched for each input vector. Then, the resultant index is compared with the previously encoded indices in a predefined search order to see whether the same index value can be found in the neighboring region. Besides, the relative addressing technique is employed to encode the current index if the same index value can not be found in the neighboring region. According to the experimental results, the newly proposed algorithm achieves significant reduction of bit rate without introducing extra coding distortion. It is concluded that our algorithm is very efficient and effective for image vector quantization.

Internet telephony is the technology that allows for the transmission of digitized voice signals over the lnternet. The Internet telephony market has exploded since March of 1995 and continues to grow with the distribution of Internet telephone applications via the two leading Web browsers; Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. The technology needs to be studied in order to determine the effect of Internet telephony on network performance and to determine how telco quality sound can be achieved on the Internet. This paper provides an evaluation of the compression algorithms currently being used in Internet telephony, in terms of network performance and user perceived sound quality.

In this paper, a single chip HDTV decoder is presented which drastically cut down the cost of HDTV receiver. The cost reduction is achieved by integration of system parser, down-converting video decoder, and multi-mode audio decoder. System designers can also benefit from the features of our decoder which requires only 4Mbytes of SDRAMs(Synchronous DRAM) for decoding HDTV signal and various system-level functions such as IEEE 1394 bus interface, (IC)-C-2 bus controller and on-chip clock recovery function.

The time it takes to reconfigure FPGAs can be a significant overhead for reconfigurable computing. In this paper we develop new compression algorithms for FPGA configurations that can significantly reduce this overhead. By using runlength and other compression techniques, files can be compressed by a factor of 3.6 times. Bus transfer and decompression hardware are also discussed. This results in a single compression methodology which achieves higher compression ratios than existing algorithms in an off-line version, as well as a somewhat lower quality compression approach which is suitable for on-line use in dynamic circuit generation and other mapping-time critical situations.

We have designed a VLSI chip for wavelet image compression which is especially suited for CCD area sensors as well as for new technology approaches in CMOS image sensors. The design has been developed for maximal resolutions of 3072 times 2048 pixels. The used compression algorithm gives a PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) of up to 39 dB at 1 bit/pixel for common test images.

Summary form only given. A mini-corpus of twelve 'calibrated' binary-data files have been produced for systematic evaluation of compression algorithms. These are generated within the framework of a deterministic theory of string complexity. Here the T-complexity of a string x (measured in taugs) is defined as C/sub T/(x/sub i/)=/spl Sigma//sub i/log/sub 2/(k/sub i/+1), where the positive integers k/sub i/ are the T-expansion parameters for the corresponding string production process. C/sub T/(x) is observed to be the logarithmic integral of the total information content I/sub x/ of x (measured in nats), i.e., C/sub T/(x)=li(I/sub x/). The average entropy is H~/sub x/=I/sub x//|x|, i.e., the total information content divided by the length of x. Thus C/sub T/(x)=li(H~/sub x//spl times/|x|). Alternatively, the information rate along a string may be described by an entropy function H/sub x/(n),0/spl les/n/spl les/|x| for the string. Assuming that H/sub x/(n) is continuously integrable along the length of the x, then I/sub x/=/spl int//sub 0//sup |/x|H/sub x/(n)/spl delta/n. Thus C/sub T/(x)=li(/spl int//sub 0//sup |/x|H/sub x/(n)/spl delta/n). Solving for H/sub x/(n): that is differentiating both sides and rearranging, we get: H/sub x/(n)=(/spl delta/C/sub T/(x|n)//spl delta/n)/spl times/log/sub e/(li/sup -1/(C/sub T/(x|/sub n/))). With x being in fact discrete, and the T-complexity function being computed in terms of the discrete T-augmentation steps, we may accordingly re-express the equation in terms of the T-prefix increments: /spl delta/n/spl ap//spl Delta//sub i/|x|=k/sub i/|p/sub i/|; and from the definition of C/sub T/(x): /spl delta/C/sub T/(x) is replaced by /spl Delta//sub i/C/sub T/(x)=log/sub 2/(k/sub i/+1). The average slope over the i-th T-prefix p/sub i/ increment is then simply (/spl Delta//sub i/C/sub T/(x))/(/spl Delta//sub i/|x|)=(log/sub 2/(k/sub i/+1))/(k/sub i/|p/sub i/|). The entropy function is now replaced by a discrete approximation.
