A distributed coding algorithm is presented for compression of wavelet-transformed data. Data structures based on zerotrees are exploited for efficient compression of the significance map of wavelet coefficients. The coefficients are scanned in two stages, with a significance pass and refinement pass, similar to the SPIHT algorithm. The bits resulting from these passes are Slepian-Wolf coded using...
This paper investigates the application of lossy distributed source coding to high resolution multispectral images. The choice of distributed source coding is motivated by the need for very low encoding complexity on space and airborne platforms. The data consists of red, blue, green and infra-red channels and is compressed in an asymmetric Wyner-Ziv setting. One image channel is compressed using...
This paper describes our recent analysis on the security and privacy of biometric feature vectors obtained from fingerprint minutiae. A large number of contiguous regions (cuboids) are selected at random in the minutiae space, and several new features are extracted from the minutiae inside each such cuboid. Specifically, the features are extracted from the average minutia coordinate within a cuboid,...
