Map online system using internet-based image catalogue
Digital maps carry along its geodata information such as coordinate that is important in one particular topographic and thematic map. These geodatas are meaningful especially in military field. Since the maps carry along this information, its makes the size of the images is too big. The bigger size, the bigger storage is required to allocate the image file. It also can cause longer loading time. These conditions make it did not suitable to be applied in image catalogue approach via internet environment. With compression techniques, the image size can be reduced and the quality of the image is still guaranteed without much changes. This report is paying attention to one of the image compression technique using wavelet technology. Wavelet technology is much batter than any other image compression technique nowadays. As a result, the compressed images applied to a system called Map Online that used Internet-based Image Catalogue approach. This system allowed user to buy map online. User also can download the maps that had been bought besides using the searching the map. Map searching is based on several meaningful keywords. As a result, this system is expected to be used by Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia (JUPEM) in order to make the organization vision is implemented
A two-stage video coding framework with both self-adaptive redundant dictionary and adaptively orthonormalized DCT basis
In this work, we propose a two-stage video coding framework, as an extension
of our previous one-stage framework in [1]. The two-stage frameworks consists
two different dictionaries. Specifically, the first stage directly finds the
sparse representation of a block with a self-adaptive dictionary consisting of
all possible inter-prediction candidates by solving an L0-norm minimization
problem using an improved orthogonal matching pursuit with embedded
orthonormalization (eOMP) algorithm, and the second stage codes the residual
using DCT dictionary adaptively orthonormalized to the subspace spanned by the
first stage atoms. The transition of the first stage and the second stage is
determined based on both stages' quantization stepsizes and a threshold. We
further propose a complete context adaptive entropy coder to efficiently code
the locations and the coefficients of chosen first stage atoms. Simulation
results show that the proposed coder significantly improves the RD performance
over our previous one-stage coder. More importantly, the two-stage coder, using
a fixed block size and inter-prediction only, outperforms the H.264 coder
(x264) and is competitive with the HEVC reference coder (HM) over a large rate
range
Decoding billions of integers per second through vectorization
In many important applications -- such as search engines and relational
database systems -- data is stored in the form of arrays of integers. Encoding
and, most importantly, decoding of these arrays consumes considerable CPU time.
Therefore, substantial effort has been made to reduce costs associated with
compression and decompression. In particular, researchers have exploited the
superscalar nature of modern processors and SIMD instructions. Nevertheless, we
introduce a novel vectorized scheme called SIMD-BP128 that improves over
previously proposed vectorized approaches. It is nearly twice as fast as the
previously fastest schemes on desktop processors (varint-G8IU and PFOR). At the
same time, SIMD-BP128 saves up to 2 bits per integer. For even better
compression, we propose another new vectorized scheme (SIMD-FastPFOR) that has
a compression ratio within 10% of a state-of-the-art scheme (Simple-8b) while
being two times faster during decoding.Comment: For software, see https://github.com/lemire/FastPFor, For data, see
