Book Description
Essa dissertação apresenta um codificador de imagens para baixas taxas de bits utilizando a decomposição da imagem em 10 sub-bandas através da aplicação da transformada wavelet. Uma técnica de redução de irrelevância visual é usada para descartar blocos de coeficientes das sub-bandas de alta freqüência (2 a 10). Os blocos remanescentes são classificados em bordas e não bordas e codificados através da técnica ECTCVQ (Entropy-Constrained Trellis Coded Vector Quantization). Já a primeira sub-banda é codificada através da técnica PTCQ(Predictive Trellis Coded Quantization) com preservação de bordas. Na alocação de bits entre as sub-bandas é utilizado o algoritmo de Wersterink et al. Os resultados obtidos mostram um desempenho muito superior ao padrão JPEG, e bons resultados quando comparados a técnica de codificação de imagens recentes.

Book Description
Herb Caen, a popular columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, recently quoted a Voice of America press release as saying that it was reorganizing in order to "eliminate duplication and redundancy. " This quote both states a goal of data compression and illustrates its common need: the removal of duplication (or redundancy) can provide a more efficient representation of data and the quoted phrase is itself a candidate for such surgery. Not only can the number of words in the quote be reduced without losing informa tion, but the statement would actually be enhanced by such compression since it will no longer exemplify the wrong that the policy is supposed to correct. Here compression can streamline the phrase and minimize the em barassment while improving the English style. Compression in general is intended to provide efficient representations of data while preserving the essential information contained in the data. This book is devoted to the theory and practice of signal compression, i. e. , data compression applied to signals such as speech, audio, images, and video signals (excluding other data types such as financial data or general purpose computer data). The emphasis is on the conversion of analog waveforms into efficient digital representations and on the compression of digital information into the fewest possible bits. Both operations should yield the highest possible reconstruction fidelity subject to constraints on the bit rate and implementation complexity.

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Description
The ability to transmit images over narrow bandwidth noisy channels has become desirable for many applications. Image integrity and timely transmission are imperative in many scenarios. The traditional method of image transmission requires a multistage process. The first stage is source coding, or the removal of redundancy, to compress the image for the narrow bandwidth channel. The second stage is channel coding, or the adding of redundant characters to protect the information from noise. This report pursues a method to perform robust source coding, providing both compression and noise mitigation. Specifically, Predictive Trellis Coding Quantization (PTCQ) incorporating various types of prediction filters is investigated. Trellis Coded Quanitization (TCQ) implies using an expanded set of quantization levels and the Viterbi algorithm to determine the minimal distortion path through a trellis, whose structure allows for low bit rate encoding. The prediction filter supplies correlation of the prediction differences and thereby provides the protection from noise at the decoder. PTCQ combines TCQ's encoding efficiency with predictive coding compression merits. Linear and nonlinear filter performance within the PTCQ scheme is shown under various channel conditions. Findings show that nonlinear filter implementation provides the highest noise immunity of those tested. The resulting algorithm is implementable in near real-time, allowing for the fast, efficient transmission of images over noisy channels.
