However, the decoder may, in principle, also exploit correlations with received encoding information of future frames. In contrast to current decoders that reconstruct every block immediately as the corresponding quantization indices are available, we propose an estimation-theoretic delayed decoding scheme which leverages quantization and motion information of one or more future frames to refine the reconstruction of the current block. The scheme, implemented in the transform domain, efficiently combines all available (including future) information in an appropriately derived conditional pdf, to obtain the optimal delayed reconstruction of each transform coefficient in the frame. Experiments demonstrate substantial gains over the standard H.264 decoder. The scheme learns the autoregressive model from information available to the decoder, and compatibility with the standard syntax and existing encoders is retained.","PeriodicalId":299459,"journal":{"name":"2010 Data Compression Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127898060","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}

Additionally, it permits fast searches over the compressed text using Boyer-Moore type algorithms. Such compressors are based on processing fixed source symbols (words) and assigning them variable-byte-length codewords, thus following a fixed-to-variable approach. We present a new variable-to-variable compressor (v2vdc) that uses words and phrases as the source symbols, which are encoded with a variable-length scheme. The phrases are chosen using the longest common prefix information on the suffix array of the text, so as to favor long and frequent phrases. We obtain compression ratios close to those of p7zip and ppmdi, overcoming bzip2, and 8-10 percentage points less than the equivalent word-based compressor. V2vdc is in addition among the fastest to decompress, and allows efficient direct search of the compressed text, in some cases the fastest to date as well.","PeriodicalId":299459,"journal":{"name":"2010 Data Compression Conference","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128079404","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}

We have developed a new data compression algorithm with a high decompression speed and a good compression rate that is equivalent to zlib, the standard technology in use today. We created a LZSS-based algorithm by optimizing the parsing of data strings. LZSS is known as a high decompression speed algorithm useful for embedded systems, and optimal parsing is well known as a method for improving compression rates [1]. Previously, this combination had not been implemented because statistical code length varies during optimal parsing [1]. Our algorithm overcomes this problem by calculating the probability of the literal or the code ( distance and length ) solving the shortest path problem first. It then constructs a simple code set that enables fast decompression using those probabilities and solves the shortest path problem again. Experiments on the standard evaluation data and wireless sensor network program [2] demonstrated that we can achieve a high compression rate equivalent to zlib and a decompression speed that is twice as fast.","PeriodicalId":299459,"journal":{"name":"2010 Data Compression Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128283161","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}

In this paper, we proved that we can multiplex the set of parse trees into a compact single tree and simulate the original encoding and decoding procedures. Our technique reduces the total number of nodes into O(2^l k - k2), while it is originally O(2^l k), where l and k are the codeword length and the alphabet size, respectively.

In many cases, this must be achieved without losses and the available processing power is modest. Algorithms requiring large amounts of data for their optimum operation cannot be used due to the limited reliability of the communications channel. Existing methods for lossless data compression often have difficulties in fulfilling such tight requirements. We present a method for the development of lossless compression systems achieving high compression ratios at a low processing cost while guaranteeing a reliable downlink. This is done using a two–stage compressor, with an adequate pre–processing stage followed by an entropy coder. The pre–processor should be tailored for each case and carefully evaluated. For the second stage, we analyze some existing solutions and we present a new entropy coder, which has comparable or even better performances than those offered by most coders and guarantees high ratios in front of outliers. Finally, we present the application of this method to the case of the Gaia mission and we present the results obtained.","PeriodicalId":299459,"journal":{"name":"2010 Data Compression Conference","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128883840","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}

For this network model convex system optimization problems are defined and solved. The proposed scheme can be regarded as an efficient implementation of ``channel optimized quantization'', where the index assignment is obtained via a low-complexity linear function.

The proposed matrix is constructed in the systematic form [A I], where A is a randomly generated submatrix with elements distributed according to i.i.d. Gaussian, and I is the identity matrix. In the noiseless setting, this systematic construction retains similar property as the conventional Gaussian ensemble achieves. However, in the noisy setting with gross errors of arbitrary magnitude, where Gaussian ensemble fails catastrophically, systematic construction displays strong stability. In this paper, we prove its stable reconstruction property. We further show its l1-norm sparsity recovery property by proving its restricted isometry property (RIP). We also demonstrate how the systematic matrix can be used to design a family of lossy-to-lossless compressed sensing schemes where the number of measurements trades off the reconstruction distortions.","PeriodicalId":299459,"journal":{"name":"2010 Data Compression Conference","volume":"385 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121775307","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}
