The implementation issues such as algorithm complexity reduction scheme without performance loss and corresponding structure, new early stopping criterion and proper interleaver choice for different fading channels are then investigated for the concatenated system.","PeriodicalId":284950,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Sixth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2002.","volume":"905 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134186153","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}

Traditionally, image quality assessment algorithms have focused on measuring image fidelity, where quality is measured as fidelity with respect to a 'reference' or 'perfect' image. The field of blind quality assessment has been largely unexplored. In this paper we present an algorithm for blindly determining the quality of JPEG2000 compressed images. Our algorithm assigns quality scores that are in good agreement with human evaluations. Our algorithm utilizes a statistical model for wavelet coefficients and computes features that exploit the fact that quantization produces more zero coefficients than expected for natural images. The algorithm is trained and tested on data obtained from human observers, and performs close to the limit on useful prediction imposed by the variability between human subjects.","PeriodicalId":284950,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Sixth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2002.","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114974346","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}

Maximum ratio transmission has been shown to be a low complexity solution to improving average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), however, it requires feedback. Since in practice full channel knowledge at the transmitter is difficult to realize, we propose a technique where the receiver sends channel state information in the form of a codebook label. A codebook design method is based on a quantized version of traditional maximum ratio transmission with maximum ratio combining at the receiver. The codebook design criterion exploits the quantization problem's relationship with Grassmannian line packaging. Systems using the transmit diversity codebooks are shown to have a diversity order of the product of the number of transmit and the number of receive antennas. Monte Carlo simulations compare the performance of systems using this new codebook method with previously proposed systems.","PeriodicalId":284950,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Sixth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2002.","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124025148","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}

P. Melsa et al.

Infinite SSNR means zero ISI. Melsa et al. also developed a joint channel shortening method to design a single TEQ to shorten a channel and a near-end echo impulse response. We extend the joint SSNR method to design a single TEQ to shorten multiple channels by maximizing the composite SSNR. The composite SSNR is a weighted sum of normalized channel SSNRs. The normalized SSNR is the ratio of the energy in the target window samples to the energy of all samples in the shortened CIR and has a range of [0, 1] so that it is better suited for numerical stability and fixed-point implementation. Our proposed method outperforms the joint channel shortening method. because it achieves higher weighted sum of SSNRs of the used channels.","PeriodicalId":284950,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Sixth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2002.","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114624258","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}

The importance of balancing location and value information in practical coders raises fundamental open questions about how to code even simple processes with joint uncertainty in coefficient location and magnitude. The most basic example of such a process is studied: a 2-D process studied earlier by Weidmann and Vetterli that combines Gaussian magnitude information with Bernoulli location uncertainty. An insight into the coding of this process by investigating several new coding strategies based on more general approaches to lossy compression of location is presented. Extending these ideas to practical coding, a trellis-coded quantization algorithm with performance matching the published theoretical bounds is developed. Finally, the quality of the strategies is evaluated by deriving a rate-distortion bound using Blahut's algorithm for discrete sources.","PeriodicalId":284950,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the Thirty-Sixth Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers, 2002.","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122333749","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}
