  • On Computational Complexity of Motion Estimation Algorithms in MPEG-4 Encoder
    On Computational Complexity of Motion Estimation Algorithms in MPEG-4 Encoder Muhammad Shahid This thesis report is presented as a part of degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology, 2010 Supervisor: Tech Lic. Andreas Rossholm, ST-Ericsson Examiner: Dr. Benny Lovstrom, Blekinge Institute of Technology Abstract Video Encoding in mobile equipments is a computationally demanding fea- ture that requires a well designed and well developed algorithm. The op- timal solution requires a trade off in the encoding process, e.g. motion estimation with tradeoff between low complexity versus high perceptual quality and efficiency. The present thesis works on reducing the complexity of motion estimation algorithms used for MPEG-4 video encoding taking SLIMPEG motion estimation algorithm as reference. The inherent prop- erties of video like spatial and temporal correlation have been exploited to test new techniques of motion estimation. Four motion estimation algo- rithms have been proposed. The computational complexity and encoding quality have been evaluated. The resulting encoded video quality has been compared against the standard Full Search algorithm. At the same time, reduction in computational complexity of the improved algorithm is com- pared against SLIMPEG which is already about 99 % more efficient than Full Search in terms of computational complexity. The fourth proposed algorithm, Adaptive SAD Control, offers a mechanism of choosing trade off between computational complexity and encoding quality in a dynamic way. Acknowledgements It is a matter of great pleasure to express my deepest gratitude to my ad- visors Dr. Benny L¨ovstr¨om and Andreas Rossholm for all their guidance, support and encouragement throughout my thesis work.

    Vol-2 Issue-5 2016 IJARIIE-ISSN (O)-2395-4396 A Survey Paper on Different Speech Compression Techniques Kanawade Pramila.R1, Prof. Gundal Shital.S2 1 M.E. Electronics, Department of Electronics Engineering, Amrutvahini College of Engineering, Sangamner, Maharashtra, India. 2 HOD in Electronics Department, Department of Electronics Engineering , Amrutvahini College of Engineering, Sangamner, Maharashtra, India. ABSTRACT This paper describes the different types of speech compression techniques. Speech compression can be divided into two main types such as lossless and lossy compression. This survey paper has been written with the help of different types of Waveform-based speech compression, Parametric-based speech compression, Hybrid based speech compression etc. Compression is nothing but reducing size of data with considering memory size. Speech compression means voiced signal compress for different application such as high quality database of speech signals, multimedia applications, music database and internet applications. Today speech compression is very useful in our life. The main purpose or aim of speech compression is to compress any type of audio that is transfer over the communication channel, because of the limited channel bandwidth and data storage capacity and low bit rate. The use of lossless and lossy techniques for speech compression means that reduced the numbers of bits in the original information. By the use of lossless data compression there is no loss in the original information but while using lossy data compression technique some numbers of bits are loss. Keyword: - Bit rate, Compression, Waveform-based speech compression, Parametric-based speech compression, Hybrid based speech compression. 1. INTRODUCTION -1 Speech compression is use in the encoding system.

  • Video Coding Standards
    Video coding standards Video signals represent sequences of images or frames which can be transmitted with a rate from 15 to 60 frames per second (fps), that provides the illusion of motion in the displayed signal. Unlike images they contain the so-called temporal redundancy. Temporal redundancy arises from repeated objects in consecutive frames of the video sequence. Such objects can remain, they can move horizontally, vertically, or any combination of directions (translation movement), they can fade in and out, and they can disappear from the image as they move out of view. Temporal redundancy Motion compensation A motion compensation technique is used to compensate the temporal redundancy of video sequence. The main idea of the this method is to predict the displacement of group of pixels (usually block of pixels) from their position in the previous frame. Information about this displacement is represented by motion vectors which are transmitted together with the DCT coded difference between the predicted and the original images. Motion compensation Image VLC DCT Quantizer Buffer - Dequantizer Coded DCT coefficients. IDCT Motion compensated predictor Motion Motion vectors estimation Decoded VL image Buffer Dequantizer IDCT decoder Motion compensated predictor Motion vectors Motion compensation Previous frame Current frame Set of macroblocks of the previous frame used to predict the selected macroblock of the current frame Motion compensation Previous frame Current frame Macroblocks of previous frame used to predict current frame Motion compensation Each 16x16 pixel macroblock in the current frame is compared with a set of macroblocks in the previous frame to determine the one that best predicts the current macroblock.

    ROOT I/O compression improvements for HEP analysis Oksana Shadura1;∗ Brian Paul Bockelman2;∗∗ Philippe Canal3;∗∗∗ Danilo Piparo4;∗∗∗∗ and Zhe Zhang1;y 1University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 1400 R St, Lincoln, NE 68588, United States 2Morgridge Institute for Research, 330 N Orchard St, Madison, WI 53715, United States 3Fermilab, Kirk Road and Pine St, Batavia, IL 60510, United States 4CERN, Meyrin 1211, Geneve, Switzerland Abstract. We overview recent changes in the ROOT I/O system, increasing per- formance and enhancing it and improving its interaction with other data analy- sis ecosystems. Both the newly introduced compression algorithms, the much faster bulk I/O data path, and a few additional techniques have the potential to significantly to improve experiment’s software performance. The need for efficient lossless data compression has grown significantly as the amount of HEP data collected, transmitted, and stored has dramatically in- creased during the LHC era. While compression reduces storage space and, potentially, I/O bandwidth usage, it should not be applied blindly: there are sig- nificant trade-offs between the increased CPU cost for reading and writing files and the reduce storage space. 1 Introduction In the past years LHC experiments are commissioned and now manages about an exabyte of storage for analysis purposes, approximately half of which is used for archival purposes, and half is used for traditional disk storage. Meanwhile for HL-LHC storage requirements per year are expected to be increased by factor 10 [1]. arXiv:2004.10531v1 [cs.OH] 8 Apr 2020 Looking at these predictions, we would like to state that storage will remain one of the major cost drivers and at the same time the bottlenecks for HEP computing.

  • Discrete Cosine Transform for 8X8 Blocks with CUDA
    Discrete Cosine Transform for 8x8 Blocks with CUDA Anton Obukhov [email protected] Alexander Kharlamov [email protected] October 2008 Document Change History Version Date Responsible Reason for Change 0.8 24.03.2008 Alexander Kharlamov Initial release 0.9 25.03.2008 Anton Obukhov Added algorithm-specific parts, fixed some issues 1.0 17.10.2008 Anton Obukhov Revised document structure October 2008 2 Abstract In this whitepaper the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is discussed. The two-dimensional variation of the transform that operates on 8x8 blocks (DCT8x8) is widely used in image and video coding because it exhibits high signal decorrelation rates and can be easily implemented on the majority of contemporary computing architectures. The key feature of the DCT8x8 is that any pair of 8x8 blocks can be processed independently. This makes possible fully parallel implementation of DCT8x8 by definition. Most of CPU-based implementations of DCT8x8 are firmly adjusted for operating using fixed point arithmetic but still appear to be rather costly as soon as blocks are processed in the sequential order by the single ALU. Performing DCT8x8 computation on GPU using NVIDIA CUDA technology gives significant performance boost even compared to a modern CPU. The proposed approach is accompanied with the sample code “DCT8x8” in the NVIDIA CUDA SDK. October 2008 3 1. Introduction The Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is a Fourier-like transform, which was first proposed by Ahmed et al . (1974). While the Fourier Transform represents a signal as the mixture of sines and cosines, the Cosine Transform performs only the cosine-series expansion.
