This paper introduces the HD Photo coding technology developed by Microsoft Corporation.
The storage format for this technology is now under consideration in the ITU-T/ISO/IEC JPEG …

This paper proposes a novel blocking artifacts reduction method based on the notion that
the blocking artifacts are caused by heavy accuracy loss of transform coefficients in the …

This paper considers the use of multiple description coding (MDC) for image transmission in
communication systems where long burst errors and sometimes complete channel failures …

The textbook, Introduction to Wavelet Transforms provides basics of wavelet transforms in a
self-contained manner. Applications of wavelet transform theory permeate our daily lives …

We present a general architecture for the acquisition of ensembles of correlated signals. The
signals are multiplexed onto a single line by mixing each one against a different code and …

A generalized, parametric, perfect-reconstruction quadrature-mirror-filter (PR-QMF) design
technique based on Bernstein polynomial approximation in the magnitude-square domain is …

A frequency-domain algorithm for motion estimation based on overlapped transforms of the
image data is developed as an alternative to block matching methods. The complex lapped …

This paper presents a new design technique for obtaining M-band orthogonal coders where
M= 2/sup i/. The structures obtained using the proposed technique have the perfect …

This paper presents the local cosine transform (LCT) as a new method for the reduction and
smoothing of the blocking effect that appears at low bit rates in image coding algorithms …

Transform coding using the discrete cosine transform is one of the most popular techniques
for image and video compression. However, at low bit rates, the coded images suffer from …
