Therefore, predictive M are one of most important issues of teleinformatics. methods are used in most cases.

A lot of such compression algorithms exist and including calculation (based on the mean square error the most effective ones are adapted to the specific data type. minimization method) and a typical method of saving Compression methods can be divided into lossy and lossless, prediction coefficients are presented. In Section IV the and this research focuses on the latter, limited to the coding authorial solution of flexible and effective method saving of audio data. prediction coefficients are presented, afterwards In Section Important purposes of lossless audio compression include V presented the analysis of inter-channel dependencies.

Beside comparing with CD-audio (which is often done to assess codec performance) and spitting out a grand total, this comparison also looks at extremes that occurred during the test and takes a look at 'high-resolution audio' and multichannel/surround audio.

There are very large and well-known databases like CODIS (DNA), IAFIS (fingerprints), and IBIS (ballistics). There are databases for paint, shoeprint, glass, and even ink; all of which catalog and maintain information on all the variations of their specific subject matter. Somewhat recently there was introduced the “Dresden Image Database” which is designed to provide a digital image database for forensic study and contains images that are generic in nature, royalty free, and created specifically for this database. However, a central repository is needed for the collection and study of digital audios, videos, and images. This kind of database would permit researchers, students, and investigators to explore the data from various media and various sources, compare an unknown with knowns with the possibility of discovering the likely source of the unknown.

  • The Standard for Lossless Audio Coding
    한국음향학 회지 제 28권 제 7호 pp. 618-629 (2009) MPEG-4 ALS - The Standard for Lossless Audio Coding Tilman Liebchen* *LG Electronics, Berlin, Germany (접수일자 : 2009년 9월 2일 ; 채택일자 : 2009년 9월 15일 ) The MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS) standard belongs to the family MPEG-4 audio coding standards. In contrast to lossy codecs such as AAC, which merely strive to preserve the subjective audio quality, lossless coding preserves every sin이 e bit of the original audio data. The ALS core codec is based on forward-adaptive linear prediction, which combines remarkable compression with low complexity. Additional features include long-term prediction, multichannel coding, and compression of floating-point audio material. This paper describes the basic elements of the ALS codec with a focus on prediction, entropy coding, and related tools, and points out the most important applications of this standardized lossless audio format.

This document describes specific codecs for use within an IPTV environment. For audio coding, it describes the use of MPEG-1 Layer II, AC-3, E-AC3, HE AAC v2 audio, Extended AMR WB (AMR WB+) audio, MPEG 2 AAC, MPEG-4 HE AAC, MPEG-4 HE AAC v2, MPEG Surround, MPEG-4 ALS, G719, G.722, G.722.1, G.722.1 Annex C, G.722.2, G.729.1, G.711.1 and G.718. For video coding, it recommends support for ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 HEVC and H.264 | 14496-10 AVC, and also lists some additional video coding technologies that have been identified in member contributions as potentially relevant to the application (ITU-T H.262 | ISO/IEC 13818-2 MPEG-2 Video, AVS, H.263, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 Part 2, and VC-1). This document adopts a "toolbox" approach for the general case of IPTV applications delivered directly over IP and MPEG2 -TS. This document is not a specification for the use of audio or video codecs in IPTV Services.
