At the core of these technologies are source coding methods that are described in this text. Based on the fundamentals of information and rate distortion theory, the most relevant techniques used in source coding algorithms are de- scribed: entropy coding, quantization as well as predictive and trans- form coding. The emphasis is put onto algorithms that are also used in video coding, which will be described in the other text of this two-part monograph.

  • Efficient Variable-To-Fixed Length Coding Algorithms for Text
    Efficient Variable-to-Fixed Length Coding Algorithms for Text Compression （テキスト圧縮に対する効率よい可変長-固定長符号化アルゴリズム） Satoshi Yoshida February, 2014 Abstract Data compression is a technique for reducing the storage space and the cost of trans- ferring a large amount of data, using redundancy hidden in the data. We focus on lossless compression for text data, that is, text compression, in this thesis. To reuse a huge amount of data stored in secondary storage, I/O speeds are bottlenecks. Such a communication-speed problem can be relieved if we transfer only compressed data through the communication channel and furthermore can perform every necessary pro- cesses, such as string search, on the compressed data itself without decompression. Therefore, a new criterion \ease of processing the compressed data" is required in the field of data compression. Development of compression algorithms is currently in the mainstream of data compression field but many of them are not adequate for that criterion. The algorithms employing variable length codewords succeeded to achieve an extremely good compression ratio, but the boundaries between codewords are not obvious without a special processing. Such an \unclear boundary problem" prevents us from direct accessing to the compressed data. On the contrary, Variable-to-Fixed-length coding, which is referred to as VF coding, is promising for our demand. VF coding is a coding scheme that segments an input text into a consecutive sequence of substrings (called phrases) and then assigns a fixed length codeword to each substring. Boundaries between codewords of VF coding are obvious because all of them have the same length. Therefore, we can realize \accessible data compression" by VF coding.

  • The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on Iot Nodes in Smart Cities
    sensors Article The Deep Learning Solutions on Lossless Compression Methods for Alleviating Data Load on IoT Nodes in Smart Cities Ammar Nasif *, Zulaiha Ali Othman and Nor Samsiah Sani Center for Artificial Intelligence Technology (CAIT), Faculty of Information Science & Technology, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Malaysia; [email protected] (Z.A.O.); [email protected] (N.S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Networking is crucial for smart city projects nowadays, as it offers an environment where people and things are connected. This paper presents a chronology of factors on the development of smart cities, including IoT technologies as network infrastructure. Increasing IoT nodes leads to increasing data flow, which is a potential source of failure for IoT networks. The biggest challenge of IoT networks is that the IoT may have insufficient memory to handle all transaction data within the IoT network. We aim in this paper to propose a potential compression method for reducing IoT network data traffic. Therefore, we investigate various lossless compression algorithms, such as entropy or dictionary-based algorithms, and general compression methods to determine which algorithm or method adheres to the IoT specifications. Furthermore, this study conducts compression experiments using entropy (Huffman, Adaptive Huffman) and Dictionary (LZ77, LZ78) as well as five different types of datasets of the IoT data traffic. Though the above algorithms can alleviate the IoT data traffic, adaptive Huffman gave the best compression algorithm. Therefore, in this paper, Citation: Nasif, A.; Othman, Z.A.; we aim to propose a conceptual compression method for IoT data traffic by improving an adaptive Sani, N.S.

  • The Effectiveness of the Radon Transform Against the Quantization Noise
    European Scientific Journal February 2015 edition vol.11, No.6 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE RADON TRANSFORM AGAINST THE QUANTIZATION NOISE Mehdi Cherifi, Magister student Mourad Lahdir, PhD Soltane Ameur, Prof. Zohra Ameur, Prof. Mouloud Mammeri University of Tizi-Ouzou, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, LAMPA laboratory. Department of Electronic, Tizi-Ouzou, Algeria Abstract The aim of image compression consists to reduce the number of bits required to represent an image. The Radon transform has become a very interesting tool in the field of image processing. Its Robustness against noises such as white noise has boosted the researchers to realize methods of detection of objects in noisy images. The Discrete Cosine Transform has shown its efficacy in the energy compaction of the image to be compressed into a smaller number of coefficients. It is part of many international standards including JPEG and MPEG. In this paper, we present an image compression method, which is the modification of the scheme presented by Predeep and Manavalan. The modification consists to use a high scale quantization, which is 20 in order to realize a heavy quantization for the DCT to achieve a high compression. A comparative study is performed to show the contribution of this modification. Keywords: Image Compression; Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT); Radon Transform; Integration Process; Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR); JPEG2000. 1. Introduction The image compression consists to reduce the amount of data needed to represent an image. The exploitation of the spatial and spectral redundancy and weaknesses of psychovisual system helped to develop methods that lead to the reduction of the amount of data required to represent an image.
