On the implementation of a global optimization method for mixed-variable problems by Nannicini, Giacomo

“…We propose several modifications aimed at generalizing and improving these two algorithms: (i) the use of an extended space to represent categorical variables in unary encoding; (ii) a refinement phase to locally improve a candidate solution; (iii) interpolation models without the unisolvence condition, to both help deal with categorical variables, and initiate the optimization before a uniquely determined model is possible; (iv) a master-worker framework to allow asynchronous objective function evaluations in parallel. …”

Robust reconstruction of Wyner-Ziv frame for no-feedback distributed video coding by Hao QIN, Xue-lu PENG, Bin SONG, Hai-hua LIU

“…In no-feedback distributed video coding,a robust reconstruction algorithm for Wyner-Ziv frame was proposed.To avoid the video quality degradation caused by the bit plane decoding errors,DC coefficients and AC coefficients were reconstructed with different methods.In particular,for each failure decoded quantized DC coefficient,with the help of the correlation information from the encoder,the algorithm was able to adaptively adjust the contribution of the quantized side information and the decoded quantized DC coefficient to the reconstruction.Simulation results show that compared with the MMSE (minimum mean square error) algorithm,the proposed method can increase the average PSNR (peak signal-to-noise ratio) of reconstructed video greatly,and also yield significant improvement of the subjective video quality.…”

Frame erasure concealment method used for wideband embedded speech codec by ZHU Heng, BAO Chang-chun, LI Rui

“…An efficient frame erasure concealment（FEC）method for wideband embedded speech codec was proposed.The erased speech frame was classified as voiced,unvoiced,silence,unvoiced transit to voiced and voiced transit to unvoiced at decoder.The energy of excitations was carefully controlled based on the classification of the speech.To match with the configuration of the embedded speech codec,the adaptive codebook for erased frame was recovered with the last frame’s bit-stream.For increasing the robustness of the codec,the contribution of adaptive codebook was prop-erly constrained at encoder.The proposed FEC method is very simple and has a good performance without extra delay and bits requirements in codec.This method has been applied to an embedded variable bits rate codec submitted to ITU-T as a candidate.…”

A byte-size multi-variable-length-code based string matching algorithm for Alpha image coding by Liping ZHAO, Tao LIN, Kailun ZHOU, Hua PENG, Keli HU

“…According to the characteristics of Alpha image and the statistical characteristics of coding parameters of string matching algorithm,an Alpha image coding algorithm based on byte-size multi-variable long-length string matching was proposed.The algorithm firstly used a byte-type multi-variable long-code scheme for joint optimization coding of multiple string matching coding parameters,the offset parameter was then encoded using a segmentation mapping scheme with proximity offset prioritization.Finally,the matching string length parameter was matched with a segmentation coding scheme.The experimental results show that compared with LZ4HC,zlib,PNG and HEVC (x265),the proposed algorithm has the advantages of ultra-low complexity and high coding efficiency.…”
