Besides, more and more researches focus on the accuracy of predictor; nevertheless, the predictor spends a lot of time on finding the best coefficients of causal neighbors. The objective of our research is to propose an efficient and implementable method to improve compression ratio, without increasing extra computation complexity. Here, we present an improved lossless image compression based on the prediction method, by the proposed application of efficient error value centralization by sign bits. The contribution of this paper is to centralize error values in a novel way to improves coding performance. Experimental results show that our proposed method achieves higher compression ratio than the context-based, adaptive, and lossless image codec (CALIC) method for the images with many details or slightly regular texture.","PeriodicalId":425023,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference of IEEE Region 10 (TENCON 2013)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129823608","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 performance of SVD estimation is compared against LS and MMSE methods corresponding to zero-padded of a UWB system. The crucial limitation in UWB system is strictly low power transmission leads to many challenges in designing the system. However, most of the conventional channel estimation in frequency domain requires either pre-storing a large matrix or performing real-time matrix inversion, which should be avoided for UWB low complexity implementation. The intuition of this paper is to analyse further the complexity of SVD techniques against least squares (LS) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimation method. Consequently, this work implies that the SVD method gives an improvement of 3-5 dB if compared to the LS method while a significant complexity reduction of 57.8% as compared to MMSE methods.","PeriodicalId":425023,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference of IEEE Region 10 (TENCON 2013)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127691481","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 problem analysis simulator was built using a commercial 3D game engine, whilst the simulator aimed at testing of the solution was built using a standard robotics library. By leveraging existing technologies appropriate for each domain, the task of simulator construction was simplified. The split allowed problem exploration independent of selected hardware, allowing for early simulation. These simulators allowed a team composed mostly of part-time volunteers to construct a complex distributed, multi-robot system and proved essential to our team's success in the MAGIC 2010 challenge.","PeriodicalId":425023,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference of IEEE Region 10 (TENCON 2013)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116927724","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}
