Distributed video coding (DVC) represents a paradigm shift in video compression, wherein the computational burden is transferred from the encoder to the decoder. This approach exploits the inherent ...

This white paper describes a fixed probability prototype of a VHDL implementation of an arithmetic coder for Dirac video coding. The technical background of arithmetic coding is also described.

A statistical data compression method that converts strings of data into single floating point numbers between 0 and 1. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other reproduction requires ...

In MPEG Layer III coding the compression gain is mainly achieved through the unequal distribution of energy in the different frequency bands, the use of the psychoacoustic model, and Huffman coding.

As kids head back to school this fall, which class should they enroll in? French — or programming? Apple CEO Tim Cook told a company conference this year that computer programming should be taught in ...
