It further parameterizes the scene intensity random field and the motion random field in terms of their correlation properties. Within this framework, we develop an algorithm to optimize the window for overlapped block motion compensation as a function of the model parameters. Through simulations, we demonstrate that the optimal window resulting from the parametric formulation offers performance comparable to the window deterministically optimized for the test sequence, and it offers more robust performance outside the training set. Finally, we apply our algorithm to adapt the overlapped window to match the temporally changing characteristics of the scene and motion fields. We demonstrate that for real-time applications, where the number of frames used for adapting the window is limited, our algorithm significantly outperforms the method introduced by Orchard and Sullivan (see IEEE Trans.

Commutative multifilters avoid this problem by allowing the flip construction to be used, thereby simplifying the design process. This paper presents a condition on the polyphase components of the analysis multifilters which is necessary and sufficient for the multifilters to achieve commutativity in addition to perfect reconstruction and orthogonality. This condition involves matrices of a form similar to that appearing in various other contexts, some of which are discussed. The paper includes simple examples of multifilters satisfying the condition obtained.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

Through integration of this density, the estimator bias and mean-squared error are determined.

The architecture is based on different classes of orthogonal 2/spl times/2 /spl mu/-rotations used to approximate the angles of the DCT. By using only orthogonal /spl mu/-rotations it is guaranteed, that the whole transform remains orthogonal and perfect reconstruction of the signal can be achieved. It is shown that for the implementation of the DCT with approximated rotation angles (angle quantization) about 28% less shift and add operations are necessary than for a standard conform implementation with coefficient quantization. This lends to a large power benefit due to less adder hardware and less capacitive load of the global interconnects. Besides this, there are some other advantageous aspects concerning the area and delay. To support the full custom design of the layout, module generators for all the different classes /spl mu/-rotations can be used to generate the necessary rotations automatically.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

The analysis applies to regular arrays or processing elements performing binary integer arithmetic at various bit precisions. Computation rates are limited by power dissipation which is dependent upon required precision and packaging constraints such as pinout. They also depend strongly on the minimum feature size of the CMOS technology. We emphasize custom digital implementations with low bit precision, because these circuits require reduced power and silicon area. One way this may be achieved is using stochastic arithmetic, with pseudorandom number generation based on cellular automata circuits.","PeriodicalId":240431,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-First Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers (Cat.

We propose a scheme which uses the same project/threshold technique used in traditional transform-based excision applied to an overdetermined frame. Such a frame can consist of a variety of elements, including time and frequency invariant sets of wavelets and chirps, to help characterize a larger variety of interferers. For thresholds within certain bounds, the proposed method guarantees improvement in the effective signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). Analytical and simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the technique for a variety of interference types, including combinations of non-orthogonal interferers.
