The aim of this analysis is to develop an information and exchange network for ICT standardization knowledge in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Since 2013, this analysis has been carried out in the frame of the implementation of the “Luxembourg’s policy on ICT technical standardization” (which was last updated in 2015)1. The ICT sector is already an active sector at the national standardization level with 65 national delegates currently registered by ILNAS2. These delegates are involved in standardization technical committees to participate actively and follow closely the work performed at international level and have the task of ensuring that the views and positions of Luxembourg are understood and known by the technical committees. ILNAS is convinced that this sector could be even more active, especially since some ICT subsectors do not yet benefit from a sufficient representation of national delegates (e.g.: Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Smart Cities). Thus, the purposes of this analysis are firstly, to provide useful information to national stakeholders regarding standardization activities in the field of ICT and secondly, to involve them into an integrated and innovative approach of standardization.

  • An Optimization of JPEG-LS Using an Efficient and Low-Complexity
    Received April 26th, 2021. Revised June 27th, 2021. Accepted July 23th, 2021. Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/ACCESS.2021.3100747 LOCO-ANS: An Optimization of JPEG-LS Using an Efficient and Low-Complexity Coder Based on ANS TOBÍAS ALONSO , GUSTAVO SUTTER , AND JORGE E. LÓPEZ DE VERGARA High Performance Computing and Networking Research Group, Escuela Politécnica Superior, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain. {tobias.alonso, gustavo.sutter, jorge.lopez_vergara}@uam.es This work was supported in part by the Spanish Research Agency under the project AgileMon (AEI PID2019-104451RB-C21). ABSTRACT Near-lossless compression is a generalization of lossless compression, where the codec user is able to set the maximum absolute difference (the error tolerance) between the values of an original pixel and the decoded one. This enables higher compression ratios, while still allowing the control of the bounds of the quantization errors in the space domain. This feature makes them attractive for applications where a high degree of certainty is required. The JPEG-LS lossless and near-lossless image compression standard combines a good compression ratio with a low computational complexity, which makes it very suitable for scenarios with strong restrictions, common in embedded systems. However, our analysis shows great coding efficiency improvement potential, especially for lower entropy distributions, more common in near-lossless. In this work, we propose enhancements to the JPEG-LS standard, aimed at improving its coding efficiency at a low computational overhead, particularly for hardware implementations. The main contribution is a low complexity and efficient coder, based on Tabled Asymmetric Numeral Systems (tANS), well suited for a wide range of entropy sources and with simple hardware implementation.
