In video transmission over wireless networks, the channel is error-prone and the compressed video data is highly sensitive to errors. The transmission errors will cause decoding failure and distort the pictures. This type of picture distortion is called transmission distortion. In this work, we develop a predictive approach for transmission modeling so that the encoder is able to estimate the average transmission distortion of the decoded video data. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model is robust and accurate. Using this type of predictive transmission distortion model, the encoder is able to intelligently allocate its resources, such as bits and energy, to maximize the decoded video quality at receiver side.

Molecular substructure mining is currently an intensively studied research area. In this paper we present an implementation of an algorithm for finding frequent substructures in a set of molecules, which may also be used to find substructures that discriminate well between a focus and a complement group. In addition to the basic algorithm, we discuss advanced pruning techniques, demonstrating their effectiveness with experiments on two publicly available molecular data sets, and briefly mention some other extensions.

This paper presents an effective method to detect small and dim infrared image target under complex background, which is performed in spatial domain. Roughly speaking, the new method contains two steps. The first step is further divided into two steps (called difference between maximum and minimum filters, DMMFs): firstly, an original image is filtered by maximum (max) and minimum (min) filters based on the considering max filter can enhance the target and preserve the background while min filter can eliminate the target and also preserve the background;and then the difference between these two results is obtained, therefore the target is enhanced and its background is suppressed at the same time. To obtain an accurate location of the target, the second step called post processing involves local feature mapping and projecting techniques. This DMMF method focuses on reducing the cost of computation, tracking the target in real-time, enhancing the SNR, and suppressing its background clutter. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and practical.

Sprite generation, the core of the sprite coding, is a developing technique included in the MPEG-4 standard. It achieves high subjective quality with low bitrates. The affine and perspective GME (Global Motion Estimation) methods are demonstrated in the MPEG-4 Verification Model (MPEG-4 VM), MPEG-4 Optimization Model (MPEG-4 OM) and many other algorithms. The affine model GME, provides limited image quality, is robust and fast. The perspective model GME generates sprites with better quality, however it suffers from the time-wasting and error propagation problem. A new method to generate sprites in this paper combines the existing affine and perspective GME algorithms to produce high sprites quickly without losing robustness. In order to generate high quality sprites, the proposed "Hybrid Model GME" method uses the affine model GME as an initial search, then switches to the perspective model GME if necessary. To accelerate the speed, a nearest neighborhood (NN) kernel is used to replace the bilinear method for image warping. Experimental results show that the image quality is much improved even when camera movements are more complex and quick. The computation speed is between 10 and 17 times faster than the MPEG-4 VM. If the sprites can be divided into several pieces, the computation speed can be about 1.46 times faster ahead.
In this paper, we explicitly formulate the average weight and the stopping set distributions and their asymptotic exponents of two-edge type LDPC code ensembles. We also show some characteristics such as the symmetry ...

We consider a cross-layer design approach for CDMA mobile wireless networks supporting heterogeneous compressed video. By considering the resource requirements as the aggregate of the products of source coding rates and the energy per information bit to noise ratio, we propose a cross-layer optimization approach for video delivery over CDMA cellular networks. In particular, we describe a joint source coding-power control (JSCPC) strategy used in conjunction with joint source-channel coding (JSCC) and employing the class of rate-compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes to provide forward error correction (FEC) coding. We show that this cross-layer approach can simultaneously maximize the quality of the delivered video while minimizing the total resource consumption, thereby providing higher spectral efficiency and improved network utilization. We demonstrate the efficacy of this approach using the ITU-T H.263+ video coder.
