This paper presents an image coding technique based on contourlet transform. The redundancy of the contourlet transform is eliminated by switching the LP decomposition step to separable wavelet transform. The transform is then optimized through a wavelet coefficient weighting process in order to enhance the visual quality in the image domain, and with that the directional filter bank(DFB) are employed to high frequency wavelet subbands. At last, all the resulted subbands are efficiently coded with EBCOT. At the same bit rates, a gain of up to 0.3~0.6 dB over JPEG2000 has been observed for standard images with directional features.

In this paper, we introduce a new implementation of motion-compensated temporal filter (MCTF) based video coder which utilizes rate-distortion optimal wavelet packet transform (RDWP) for some low bit rate video coding application scenarios. Although enhanced MC-EZBC video coder provides good scalability and high coding efficiency at high bit rates, reconstructed video quality will drop rapidly with increased motion at low bit rates. The proposed video coder applies optimal wavelet packet transform to each temporal frame and rate-distortion optimization to each GOP. Experimental results show this codec provides better performance than MC-EZBC with PSNR improved 0.3-1.2dB at low bit rates.

The analysis of image coding using Periodic Walsh Piecewise-Linear (PWL) transform will be presented in this paper. The coding method employs an integer bit allocation scheme and Llyod-Max quantizers. Experimental results have shown that best results are obtained by modeling the DC coefficient using a one-sided Gaussian distribution and the AC coefficients by using a Laplacian distribution. Comparison of coding real images using the periodic Walsh piecewise-linear transform and some orthogonal transforms will be given. Computer simulation results indicate that the image coding efficiency of the periodic Walsh piecewise-linear transform is close to that of Walsh and Haar transforms from the PSNR viewpoint.

We propose a low-complexity Bandwidth Extension (BWE) method operating in the Modified Discrete Cosine transform (MDCT) domain to reduce the bitrate of wideband and super-wideband speech codecs. The proposed method generates a high-frequency signal by copying the MDCT spectrum from the low frequency part, and then adjusts tonality to improve the subjective quality of the generated high-frequency signal. In combination with an MDCT-based transform codec, it requires only 64.9% of the computational complexity of MPEG-4 Spectral Band Replication (SBR). It also achieves subjective quality better than SBR for many speech samples.

Altering digital imagery is now ubiquitous. People have come to expect it in the fashion and entertainment world, where airbrushing blemishes and wrinkles away is routine. And anyone surfing the Web is routinely subjected to crude photographic mashups like the Palin hoax, whose creators clearly aren't interested in realism but in whatever titillation or outrage they can generate. Even as experts continue to develop techniques for exposing photographic frauds, new techniques for creating better and harder-to-detect fakes are also evolving. As in the battle against spam and computer viruses, it seems inevitable that the arms race between the forger and the forensic analyst will continue to escalate, with no clear victor. Improved image forensics will never be able to eradicate or prevent digital tampering, but these techniques can make it more time-consuming and difficult for forgers to ply their trade. Tomorrow's technology will almost certainly enable digital manipulations that today seem unimaginable, and the science of digital forensics will have to work hard to keep pace. It is my hope that these new techniques, along with a greater awareness of the technological possibilities and sensible updates in policy and law, will help the media, the courts, and the public contend with the exciting but often baffling events of our digital age.

A new general paradigm of dynamic-range-preserving one-to-one mapping-infinity-norm rotations, analogous to the general 2-norm rotations, are proposed in this paper. Analogous to the well-known discrete cosine transforms, the linear 2-norm rotation transforms which preserve the 2-norm of the rotated vectors, the proposed infinity-norm rotation transforms are piecewise linear transforms which preserve the infinity-norm of vectors. Besides the advantages of perfect reversibility, in-place calculation and dynamic range preservation, the infinity-norm rotation transforms also have good energy-compact ability, which is suitable for signal compression and analysis. It can be implemented by shear transforms based on the 2-D rotation factorization of similar orthogonal transform matrices, such as DCT matrices. The performance of the new transforms is illustrated with 2-D patterns and histograms. Its good performance in lossy and lossless image compression, compared with other integer reversible transforms, is demonstrated in the experiments.

Lossless data compression researchers have developed highly sophisticated approaches, such as Huffman encoding, arithmetic coding, the Lempel-Ziv family, prediction by partial matching and Burrow-Wheeler transform based algorithms. One approach for attaining better compression is to develop generic, reversible transformation that can be applied to a source text that improves an existing compression algorithm's ability to compress. A few reversible transformation techniques that give better compression ratios are presented. A method, which transforms a text file into intermediate file with minimum possible byte values, is proposed. An attempt has been made to reduce the number of possible bytes that appear after every byte in the source file. This increases backend algorithm's compression performance.

The octahedral group is one of the finite subgroups of the rotation group in 3-D Euclidean space and a symmetry group of the cubic grid. Compression and filtering of 3-D volumes are given as application examples of its representation theory. We give an overview over the finite subgroups of the 3-D rotation group and their classification. We summarize properties of the octahedral group and basic results from its representation theory. Wide-sense stationary processes are processes with group theoretical symmetries whose principal components are closely related to the representation theory of their symmetry group. Linear filter systems are defined as projection operators and symmetry-based filter systems are generalizations of the Fourier transforms. The algorithms are implemented in Maple/Matlab functions and worksheets. In the experimental part, we use two publicly available MRI volumes. It is shown that the assumption of wide-sense stationarity is realistic and the true principal components of the correlation matrix are very well approximated by the group theoretically predicted structure. We illustrate the nature of the different types of filter systems, their invariance and transformation properties. Finally, we show how thresholding in the transform domain can be used in 3-D signal processing.

We consider the uniform scalar quantization of a class of mixed distributed memoryless sources, namely sources having a Bernoulli Generalized Gaussian (BGG) distribution. Both for low and high resolutions, asymptotic expressions of the distortion for a pth-order moment error measure, and close approximations of the entropy are provided for these sources. Operational rate-distortion functions at high bit rate and their slope factors at low bit rate are derived. The dependence of these results on p and the distribution parameters as well as the relation to the Shannon optimal rate-distortion bound are then discussed. The application of these results to transform coding in two simple cases is finally highlighted.
