The notion of a multiple description quantizer (MDQ) includes providing multiple distortion
levels. If a human observer is involved, the design of MDQ requires a suitable distortion …

In the previous work on multiple description lattice vector quantizers (MDLVQs) with L≥ 3
descriptions, once the central and side lattice codebooks are fixed, the decoding quality is …

In conventional multiple description coding (MDC), two descriptions of a source are
generated and sent over ON/OFF channels. In this paper, we are interested in exploiting the …

Distributed storage systems have been receiving increasing attention lately due to the
developments in cloud and grid computing. Furthermore, a major part of the stored …

Compressed sensing (CS) is an emerging paradigm for acquisition of compressed
representations of a sparse signal. Its low complexity is appealing for resource-constrained …

This paper addresses the problem of increasing the robustness to bit errors for two
description scalar quantizers. Our approach is to start with an m-diagonal index assignment …

This paper addresses the design of symmetric entropy-constrained multiple description
scalar quantizers (EC-MDSQ) with linear joint decoders, ie, where some of the decoders …

In previous work on multiple description lattice vector quantizers (MDLVQ) with L≥ 3
descriptions, once the central and side lattice codebooks are fixed, the decoding quality is …

This work is concerned with increasing the error resilience of two description scalar
quantizers by applying a permutation to the index of each description, for an m-diagonal …
