20080291065Wyner-Ziv Coding with Multiple Side Information - A Wyner-Ziv coding scheme jointly utilizes multiple side information at the decoder is described. A new probability model is introduced based on an extended turbo decoding trellis, so that the transitional probability is calculated from the probabilities conditioned on multiple side information. The proposed scheme handles multiple side information in a multi-dimensional manner to potentially achieve coding performance better than either selecting one side information or generating a single side information by averaging several side information. When the decoder receives multiple streams of parity bits, the conditional probabilities on the parity bits from the multiple streams all contribute in turbo decoding. The errors existing in some of the streams can be automatically eliminated during the decoding process.11-27-2008
20090103606Progressive Distributed Video Coding - Progressive distributed video coding is described. In one implementation, video data maybe encoded by arranging the data into bit-planes. The arrangement of bit-planes is adapted by shifting the first non-zero bit-plane left by one place in the binary digits and moving the sign bit immediately in the place vacated by the shifted non-zero bit-plane. The adapted bit-planes are then encoded using an asymmetric Slepian-Wolf encoder.04-23-2009
