A study of data coding technology developments in the 1980-1985 time frame, volume 2
The source parameters of digitized analog data are discussed. Different data compression schemes are outlined and analysis of their implementation are presented. Finally, bandwidth compression techniques are given for video signals
Design of a digital compression technique for shuttle television
The determination of the performance and hardware complexity of data compression algorithms applicable to color television signals, were studied to assess the feasibility of digital compression techniques for shuttle communications applications. For return link communications, it is shown that a nonadaptive two dimensional DPCM technique compresses the bandwidth of field-sequential color TV to about 13 MBPS and requires less than 60 watts of secondary power. For forward link communications, a facsimile coding technique is recommended which provides high resolution slow scan television on a 144 KBPS channel. The onboard decoder requires about 19 watts of secondary power

Wavenet based low rate speech coding
Traditional parametric coding of speech facilitates low rate but provides
poor reconstruction quality because of the inadequacy of the model used. We
describe how a WaveNet generative speech model can be used to generate high
quality speech from the bit stream of a standard parametric coder operating at
2.4 kb/s. We compare this parametric coder with a waveform coder based on the
same generative model and show that approximating the signal waveform incurs a
large rate penalty. Our experiments confirm the high performance of the WaveNet
based coder and show that the speech produced by the system is able to
additionally perform implicit bandwidth extension and does not significantly
impair recognition of the original speaker for the human listener, even when
that speaker has not been used during the training of the generative model.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
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
