In this paper, we propose a simple, fast and easy to realizable-on-hardware lossless video compression algorithm that is well suited for IR imageries. Context based median predictor is used for prediction of reference pixels. Three neighboring pixels are used as context for prediction. Interframe coding is performed by encoding the redundant pixels in an efficient way, using one bit code. Finally the arithmetic coder is used as entropy coding. The proposed algorithm is able to operate in image compression mode as well as video compression mode. The proposed MPLVC (Median Predictor based Lossless Video Compression) algorithm is compared with JPEG-LS (Joint Pictures Experts Group-Lossless) and FELICS (Fast and Efficient Lossless Image Compression System) for compression performance. The results demonstrate that proposed algorithm is superior in encoding rate with added advantage in simplicity and ease in realization on hardware.","PeriodicalId":274617,"journal":{"name":"Signal Processing Algorithms, Architectures, Arrangements, and Applications SPA 2007","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131140708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most important advantages of this system lies in the usage of a Farrow structure, which allows on-line tuning of filter characteristics. To reduce the complexity of designed filter we employ the symmetry of the coefficients representing the impulse response and ability to share the delay elements within the branch filters and we use the same filters in both real and imaginary part of the system.","PeriodicalId":274617,"journal":{"name":"Signal Processing Algorithms, Architectures, Arrangements, and Applications SPA 2007","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127952035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas “turbo” equalization (TE) for intersymbol interference (ISI) channels corresponds to serial concatenation, we show that the turbo decoding principle for parallel concatenation can be extended to a diversity receiver concept. “Turbo diversity” outperforms maximum-ratio combining (MRC) in forward error correction (FEC) encoded broadcast systems like “Digital Radio Mondiale” (DRM). In addition, we apply low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes instead of CC to turbo equalization and to turbo diversity, where an LDPC code design using fitted extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) functions is applied to optimize the system performance.","PeriodicalId":274617,"journal":{"name":"Signal Processing Algorithms, Architectures, Arrangements, and Applications SPA 2007","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114458481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
