Smith Chairman, Department Committee on Graduate Students A Comparative Study of DCT, LOT, and DWT-based Image Coders by Warit Wichakool Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on May 23, 2001, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract Ten transform coding systems were compared in terms of their system complexity and peak signal-to-noise ratios (PSNR). The results showed that the relationship between PSNR and bit rate was affected by the combination of the quantizer and the encoder, but was not affected by the type of transform. The performance of the embedded zerotree wavelet (EZW) system was effected by the number of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) levels. In comparison with the 2-level EZW system at a given bit rate, the EZW system improved PSNR by up to 4 dB at low bit rates as the number of levels increased from two to three, and gained another 1 dB as the number of levels increased from three to four. Four of the ten systems were studied further: the discrete cosine transform (DCT) baseline JPEG, the lapped orthogonal transform (LOT) version of baseline JPEG, the visual threshold wavelet with the run-length Huffman coder, and the EZW with the adaptive Huffman coder. The PSNR values for the Lena image at 0.5 bit/pixel for the four systems were 34.56, 34.43, 34.97, and 34.52 dB, respectively. In comparison with the DCT JPEG, the LOT JPEG provided 0.5 dB better PSNR and also reduced the image blockiness, but it introduced small ringing artifacts in areas with sharp edges. The visual threshold wavelet yielded better PSNR than the DCT system at the same bit rate, but the reconstructed image suffered from blurriness. Finally, the EZW system performed comparably to the DCT system. Although the reconstructed image exhibited no blockiness, it clearly lost some details. VI-A Company Thesis Supervisor: K.S.

    Application Report SPRA634 - April 2000 TMS320C6000t µ-Law and A-Law Companding with Software or the McBSP Mark A. Castellano Digital Signal Processing Solutions Todd Hiers Rebecca Ma ABSTRACT This document describes how to perform data companding with the TMS320C6000 digital signal processors (DSP). Companding refers to the compression and expansion of transfer data before and after transmission, respectively. The multichannel buffered serial port (McBSP) in the TMS320C6000 supports two companding formats: µ-Law and A-Law. Both companding formats are specified in the CCITT G.711 recommendation [1]. This application report discusses how to use the McBSP to perform data companding in both the µ-Law and A-Law formats. This document also discusses how to perform companding of data not coming into the device but instead located in a buffer in processor memory. Sample McBSP setup codes are provided for reference. In addition, this application report discusses µ-Law and A-Law companding in software. The appendix provides software companding codes and a brief discussion on the companding theory.

  • Bit Rate Adaptation Using Linear Quadratic Optimization for Mobile Video Streaming
    applied sciences Article Bit Rate Adaptation Using Linear Quadratic Optimization for Mobile Video Streaming Young-myoung Kang 1 and Yeon-sup Lim 2,* 1 Network Business, Samsung Electronics, Suwon 16677, Korea; [email protected] 2 Department of Convergence Security Engineering, Sungshin Women’s University, Seoul 02844, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-920-7144 Abstract: Video streaming application such as Youtube is one of the most popular mobile applications. To adjust the quality of video for available network bandwidth, a streaming server provides multiple representations of video of which bit rate has different bandwidth requirements. A streaming client utilizes an adaptive bit rate (ABR) scheme to select a proper representation that the network can support. However, in mobile environments, incorrect decisions of an ABR scheme often cause playback stalls that significantly degrade the quality of user experience, which can easily happen due to network dynamics. In this work, we propose a control theory (Linear Quadratic Optimization)- based ABR scheme to enhance the quality of experience in mobile video streaming. Our simulation study shows that our proposed ABR scheme successfully mitigates and shortens playback stalls while preserving the similar quality of streaming video compared to the state-of-the-art ABR schemes. Keywords: dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP; adaptive bit rate scheme; control theory 1. Introduction Video streaming constitutes a large fraction of current Internet traffic. In particular, video streaming accounts for more than 65% of world-wide mobile downstream traffic [1]. Commercial streaming services such as YouTube and Netflix are implemented based on Citation: Kang, Y.-m.; Lim, Y.-s.

This limit is largely independent of the details of the design "2 15 of the electrical lines. The limit is approximately B ~ Bo A/ bits/s, with Bo ~ 10 (bit/s) for high- performance strip lines and cables, ~1016 for small on-chip lines, and ~1017-1018 for equalized lines. Because the limit is scale-invariant, neither growing or shrinking the size of the system substantially changes the limit. Exceeding this limit requires techniques such as repeatering, coding, and multilevel modulation. Such a limit will become a problem as machines approach Tb/s information bandwidths.

Glickstein ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Ultra-miniaturized and highly power-efficient ELF (0.3-3 kHz) transmitters are desirable for underground and undersea wireless communications. This paper proposes the use of rotating permanently polarized dipoles (magnets or electrets) for such applications. A power-efficient data modulation scheme based on continuous-frequency FSK (CF-FSK) is also proposed for such electro-mechanical transmitters. Theoretical analysis and simulations show that 7-ary CF-FSK is optimal in the sense that it minimizes average mechanical torque on the mechatronic antenna for a given bit rate. Preliminary experimental results from a prototype ELF magnetic-field based transmitter based on a high-strength rare-earth (NdFeB) magnet and small brushless DC (BLDC) motor are presented. The results highlight local environment challenges such as power line interference that affect the choice of data encoding and modulation schemes. Reliable non-line- of-sight (NLOS) communication through concrete barriers at 100 Hz and ∼0.25 bit/sec is demonstrated at distances up to ∼5 m.

  • Bit-Rate Reduction for Digital Tv Signals
    - 1 - Rep. ITU-R BT.2005 REPORT ITU-R BT.2005 BIT-RATE REDUCTION FOR DIGITAL TV SIGNALS (1995) 1 Introduction The rapid development of source coding techniques and their realization with the help of integrated circuits leads to the conclusion that in the near future many new services will be created which are based on picture coding techniques. Applications will be found not only in the field of broadcasting but also in the area of interactive audiovisual communications. With the techniques available today, a high data rate reduction factor is achievable together with a high quality of the decoded picture. Therefore, efficient use of existing networks is possible and the costs of picture transmission can be significantly reduced. This Report takes the form of a bibliography with a brief summary given of the contents of each item. It contains books, papers and documents relevant to bit-rate reduction coding and error-correction giving basic information and many references for further investigation for the reader interested in more detailed information. During the compilation of this Report great care was taken to ensure that the books mentioned are commercially available and that the papers are likely to be found in a technically-orientated library. 2 Introduction to bit-rate reduction techniques 2.1 Predictive, transform and subband coding techniques Jayant, N. and Noll, P.: Digital Coding of Waveforms.

  • Introduction to Computer Music Week 13 Audio Data Compression Version 1, 13 Nov 2018
    Introduction to Computer Music Week 13 Audio Data Compression Version 1, 13 Nov 2018 Roger B. Dannenberg Topics Discussed: Compression Techniques, Coding Redundancy, Intersample Redundancy, Psycho-Perceptual Redundancy, MP3, LPC, Physical Models/Speech Synthesis, Music Notation 1 Introduction to General Compression Techniques High-quality audio takes a lot of space—about 10M bytes/minute for CD-quality stereo. Now that disk capacity is measured in terabytes, storing uncompressed audio is feasible even for personal libraries, but compression is still useful for smaller devices, downloading audio over the Internet, or sometimes just for convenience. What can we do to reduce the data explosion? Data compression is simply storing the same information in a shorter string of symbols (bits). The goal is to store the most information in the smallest amount of space, without compromising the quality of the signal (or at least, compromising it as little as possible). Compression techniques and research are not limited to digital sound—–data compression plays an essential part in the storage and transmission of all types of digital information, from word- processing documents to digital photographs to full-screen, full-motion videos. As the amount of information in a medium increases, so does the importance of data compression. What is compression exactly, and how does it work? There is no one thing that is “data compression.” Instead, there are many different approaches, each addressing a different aspect of the problem. We’ll take a look at a few ways to compress digital audio information. What’s important about these different ways of compressing data is that they tend to illustrate some basic ideas in the representation of information, particularly sound, in the digital world.
