For encoding large size blocks, instead of using conventional bilinear interpolation, a new interpolation technique which make use of the neighboring reconstructed pixels and the lower right comer pixel is employed. The coding strategies for different block sizes are investigated, which involves the choice of color space and the use of combined or separate color components for vector quantization. Simulation results show that no significant blocking artifacts appear at the block boundaries. In addition, the encoding complexity for large size blocks can be maintained to an acceptable level.","PeriodicalId":359344,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132816198","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}

Comparisons with a single stage classifier demonstrates the necessity of two stage classification techniques. It also shows that the proposed classifier performs excellently.","PeriodicalId":359344,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133706497","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}

This algorithm makes the filtering process adaptive when filtering the blocking artifacts at different quantisation levels using the linear filters. In the filtering process, the proposed algorithm first determines the blocks causing high blocking artifacts and then the linear filters are applied to these blocks to reduce the artifacts.","PeriodicalId":359344,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114556592","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}

This technique is used in Time Domain ReflectometryODR) in which a delay time between incident and reflected pulses can be used for PD location. Due to the size of a cavity inside the insulation or the amount of water absorbed by the insulation, PD signal magnitudes and widths vary greatly. If PD sources are close to one terminal, the incident and the reflected pulses will overlap each other making it difficult to estimate the delay time by using the auto-correlation and the conventional TDR method. In this study, cepstrum analysis techniques are developed for the location of partial discharges on power cables. 1.

Unfortunately, missing values are common: caused either by random or systematic effects. This study presents a novel algorithm for estimating the parameters of GMMs when there are random missing values. The approach is Bayesian in the missing values and ML in the GMM parameters. The same model can be applied to heteroscedastic data, and to indirectly observable mixed Gaussian observations.","PeriodicalId":359344,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Symposium on Signal Processing and Its Applications","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124472766","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}
