Towards JPEG AIC part 3: visual quality assessment of high to visually lossless image coding

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Michela Testolina

Due to the increasing number of pictures captured and stored every day by and on digital devices, lossy image compression has become inevitable to limit the needed storage requirement. As a consequence, these compression methods might introduce some visual ...

Usage of Hints on Coding-Based Summative Assessments

Jennifer Kaitlyn Olsen

A recent in-class exam in a software engineering course included a section in which students had to write code and/or tests under conditions they might face on real software engineering projects, including complex, multi-part coding questions in which late ...

Signal-Adapted Tight Frames on Graphs

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Hamid Behjat

The analysis of signals on complex topologies modeled by graphs is a topic of increasing importance. Decompositions play a crucial role in the representation and processing of such information. Here, we propose a new tight frame design that is adapted to a ...

Rate-Distortion Evaluation for Two-Layer Coding Systems

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

The Bjontegaard model is widely used to calculate the compression efficiency between different codecs. However, this model is not sufficient to investigate the impact on quality of the interaction of the base and enhancement layer bit rates when comparing ...

Distributed average consensus with quantization refinement

Pascal Frossard, Ntorina Thanou, Ye Pu, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

We consider the problem of distributed average consensus in a sensor network where sensors exchange quantized information with their neighbors. We propose a novel quantization scheme that exploits the increasing correlation between the values exchanged by ...

Perceptual Coding of High-Quality Digital Audio

Christof Faller, Karlheinz Brandenburg

This paper introduces high-quality audio coding using psychoacoustic models. This technology is now abundant, with gadgets named after a standard (mp3 players) and the ability to play high-quality audio from literally billions of devices. The usual paradig ...

Progressive quantization in distributed average consensus

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou, Ntorina Thanou

We consider the problem of distributed average consensus in a sensor network where sensors exchange quantized information with their neighbors. In particular, we exploit the increasing correlation between the exchanged values throughout the iterations of t ...

A Subband Adaptive Iterative Shrinkage/Thresholding Algorithm

Ilker Bayram

We investigate a subband adaptive version of the popular iterative shrinkage/thresholding algorithm that takes different update steps and thresholds for each subband. In particular, we provide a condition that ensures convergence and discuss why making the ...

Autoregressive Models of Amplitude Modulations in Audio Compression

Hynek Hermansky, Petr Motlicek, Sriram Ganapathy

We present a scalable medium bit-rate wide-band audio coding technique based on frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP). FDLP is an efficient method for representing the long-term amplitude modulations of speech/audio signals using autoregressive models. ...

Coding of spatio-temporal audio spectra using tree-structured directional filterbanks

Martin Vetterli, Francisco Pereira Correia Pinto

We address the problem of integrating directional analysis of sound into the filterbank of a spatial audio coder, with the purpose of processing and coding with some degree of inde- pendence the plane waves traveling in different directions. A plane wave r ...
