Unequal Error Protected JPEG 2000 Broadcast Scheme with Progressive Fountain Codes
This paper proposes a novel scheme, based on progressive fountain codes, for
broadcasting JPEG 2000 multimedia. In such a broadcast scheme, progressive
resolution levels of images/video have been unequally protected when
transmitted using the proposed progressive fountain codes. With progressive
fountain codes applied in the broadcast scheme, the resolutions of images (JPEG
2000) or videos (MJPEG 2000) received by different users can be automatically
adaptive to their channel qualities, i.e. the users with good channel qualities
are possible to receive the high resolution images/vedio while the users with
bad channel qualities may receive low resolution images/vedio. Finally, the
performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated with the MJPEG 2000 broadcast
prototype
Wavelet Based Image Coding Schemes : A Recent Survey
A variety of new and powerful algorithms have been developed for image
compression over the years. Among them the wavelet-based image compression
schemes have gained much popularity due to their overlapping nature which
reduces the blocking artifacts that are common phenomena in JPEG compression
and multiresolution character which leads to superior energy compaction with
high quality reconstructed images. This paper provides a detailed survey on
some of the popular wavelet coding techniques such as the Embedded Zerotree
Wavelet (EZW) coding, Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (SPIHT) coding, the
Set Partitioned Embedded Block (SPECK) Coder, and the Embedded Block Coding
with Optimized Truncation (EBCOT) algorithm. Other wavelet-based coding
techniques like the Wavelet Difference Reduction (WDR) and the Adaptive Scanned
Wavelet Difference Reduction (ASWDR) algorithms, the Space Frequency
Quantization (SFQ) algorithm, the Embedded Predictive Wavelet Image Coder
(EPWIC), Compression with Reversible Embedded Wavelet (CREW), the Stack-Run
(SR) coding and the recent Geometric Wavelet (GW) coding are also discussed.
Based on the review, recommendations and discussions are presented for
algorithm development and implementation.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, journa
Combined Industry, Space and Earth Science Data Compression Workshop
The sixth annual Space and Earth Science Data Compression Workshop and the third annual Data Compression Industry Workshop were held as a single combined workshop. The workshop was held April 4, 1996 in Snowbird, Utah in conjunction with the 1996 IEEE Data Compression Conference, which was held at the same location March 31 - April 3, 1996. The Space and Earth Science Data Compression sessions seek to explore opportunities for data compression to enhance the collection, analysis, and retrieval of space and earth science data. Of particular interest is data compression research that is integrated into, or has the potential to be integrated into, a particular space or earth science data information system. Preference is given to data compression research that takes into account the scien- tist's data requirements, and the constraints imposed by the data collection, transmission, distribution and archival systems
