The JPEG committee (formally, ISO SC29 WG1) is currently standardizing a lightweight mezzanine codec for video over IP transport under the name JPEG XS. A particular challenging design constraint of this codec is multi-generation robustness, that is the necessity to minimize the error built-up under multiple re-compression cycles. In this paper, we discuss the sources of such errors, how they are...
Polar coding is a low-complexity method for communication over noisy classical channels, which is capable of providing highly reliable data transmission. This paper proposes an enhanced polar codec scheme for mission critical applications in train-to-ground wireless communications. Firstly, we develop an enhanced polar coding scheme to support reliable data transmission under time-varying channel...
Advances in virtual reality have generated substantial interest in accurately reproducing and storing spatial audio in the higher order ambisonics (HOA) representation, given its rendering flexibility. Recent standardization for HOA compression adopted a framework wherein HOA data are decomposed into principal components that are then encoded by standard audio coding, i.e., frequency domain quantization...
In this paper we introduce and evaluate Haar based codec assisted medium and long range data transport structures, e.g., bus segments, Network on Chip interconnects, able to deal with technology scaling related phenomena (e.g., increased susceptibility to proximity coupling noise and transmission delay variability), targeting energy savings at the expense of a reasonably small overhead, i.e., 1 extra...
Recent advances in capturing and display technologies, as well as the proliferation of platforms to share images on the Internet, will further increase the bandwidth and storage space required by image coding based applications. To reduce the image coding rate, some techniques taking into account the properties of the human visual system can be used. In this context, this paper proposes an inpainting...
Encoding and Decoding schemes plays a vital role in networking, storage, data communications and radio or wireless communication systems. The hardware architecture of an encoding and decoding blocks becomes an attractive issue in designing. Very large scale integration (VLSI) is one of the trending process of integrating thousands of transistors together in a chip and its architecture provides better...
An important feature of today's mobile devices is their ability to capture and display high resolution photos in an acceptable amount of time. These images are stored in flash memory on the mobile device using the JPEG codec which is almost a quarter of a century old but remains the industry standard. With increasing pixel counts on both mobile image sensors and screens, software solutions will struggle...
At present, the majority of the studies in the area of multizone sound-field reproduction are focused on the decoding of the soundfield. In this work, we propose an approach to encode the multizone sound-field within the desired reproduction region based on higher order Ambisonics (HOA) formats. The B-format signals for the complex multizone soundfield can be derived based on the coefficients of a...
One of the most common yet detrimental compression artifacts in frequency-domain audio codecs is known as pre-echo, which is perceived as a brief noise preceding transient signals, and is discernable even without direct comparison to the original signal. Because of its substantial negative impact on audio quality, many techniques have been proposed to alleviate it, but not without effect on coding...
Scalable High efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) is the scalable extension of the latest video coding standard High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). One of the key novelties introduced by SHVC is that it enables hybrid codec scalability. This basically means that the video layers can be encoded with different video standards providing backward compatibility between codecs. In this paper, we propose a software...
High Resolution Envelope Processing (HREP) is a new tool for improved perceptual coding of audio signals that predominantly consist of many dense transient events, such as applause, rain drop sounds, etc. These signals have traditionally been very difficult to code for perceptual audio codecs, particularly at low bit rates. Based on the gain control principle, HREP acts as a pre-/post-processor pair...
In this paper, we present a novel image codec by leveraging sparse representation strategy for geometric pattern encoding. Specifically, we propose a Multiple Learned Geometric Dictionaries (MLGD) solution to explore various texture patterns of images, and use different dictionaries to encode homogenous smooth components and heterogeneous directional components. Profiting from model proficiency, our...
A video analyzer is a comprehensive bitstream analysis tool which accelerates development and debugging of video bitstreams while ensuring compliance with industry standards. There are many conventional analyzers present for different video standards like H.264, HEVC which are compliant only with the respective video sequence format. In this work, a generalized analyzer with integrated encoder is...
This paper investigates the robustness of two state-of-theart action recognition algorithms: a pixel domain approach based on 3D convolutional neural networks (C3D) and a compressed domain approach requiring only partial decoding of the video, based on feature description using motion vectors and Fisher vector encoding (MV-FV). We study the robustness of the two algorithms against: (i) quality variations,...
H.265/High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest next generation video compression standard posterior to H.264/AVC. However, despite its superior coding efficiency to the previous video coding standards, the complexity to implement it is an obstacle to overcome. Especially, combining the separate encoder and decoder has a disadvantage on the aspect of the size and power consumption. To solve...
The contribution of this paper is implementing a high throughput LDPC codec in FPGA for quantum key distribution (QKD) system. By software, the throughput of error correction in QKD system via LDPC codec could only reach 1.8Mbps, which is not satisfactory for high speed QKD systems. Thus, it is desirable that LDPC error correction is realized in FPGA to increase the throughput. LDPC codec is implemented...
We propose an algorithm that accomplishes transform-coded, spatiotemporal, pel-recursive video compression. Traditional pel-recursive coders obtain sophisticated spatio-temporal predictions for the current pixel based on previously decoded data. The resulting per-pixel prediction errors are encoded independently so that the decoder can use previously-encoded pixels in the prediction of the current...
Video codecs exploit temporal redundancy in video signals, through the use of motion compensated prediction, to achieve superior compression performance. The coding of motion vectors takes a large portion of the total rate cost. Prior research utilizes the spatial and temporal correlation of the motion field to improve the coding efficiency of the motion information. It typically constructs a candidate...

The design is mainly used to counter the laser high PRF (pulse repetition frequency) jamming, of which implementation...
A qualified speech communication is quite important in modern communication. Thus, the implementation of security algorithms is also very important to achieve real-time applications. In this paper, we design a robust and full-duplex real-time speech communication system based on Texas Instrument's 32-bit floating point DSP TMS320C6748. We use ITU-T G.723.1 as the audio codec in this system. According...
