Research and development of degree distribution in the rateless code by Yue QIAO, Yusun FU, Muyun YUAN, Jinhui TANG

“…As a kind of deletion coding technology, the rateless code reduces feedback retransmission and has the characteristics of flexible bit rate and simple compilation code, which has broad application prospects in many fields.As the basis of rateless code design, degree distribution has a crucial impact on the performance of the rateless code With the wide application of the rateless code, the design of degree distribution also needs to change with changes in scenarios and needs.Firstly, the development and application of the rateless code were discussed.Starting with several classical rateless codes and degree distributions, the current research and development of the degree distribution were summarized and analyzed from three perspectives of application scenarios, optimization targets and existing optimization methods.Finally, the development and application trend of rateless codes and degree distribution were discussed.…”

Face recognition using decision fusion of multiple sparse representation-based classifiers by Biao TANG, Wei JIN, Randi FU, Fei GONG

“…A new approach to face recognition combining decision fusion and multiple sparse representation-based classifiers was proposed to improve the robustness of the traditional methods.Different types of facial features were extracted,followed by training multiple sparse representation sub-classifiers,and then decision fusion was used to obtain the recognition result of the system.The significant advantage of the proposed scheme lines in that the final recognition results were not driven by averaging outputs of multiple sub-classifiers,but driven by combining multiple outputs via weighted fusion method.In particular,the fusion weights were adaptively determined by an iterative pro-cedure according to the different classification performance of each sub-classifier.Extensive experiments on Yale B,JAFFE and AR face databases demonstrate that the proposed approach is much more effective than state-of-the-art methods in dealing with lighting changes,expression changes and face occlusion and multi factor mixed interference.…”
