A Low Complexity Algorithm for 3D-HEVC Depth Map Intra Coding Based on MAD and ResNet by Erlin Tian, Jiabao Zhang, Qiuwen Zhang

“…As an extension of HEVC, 3D-HEVC retains the quadtree structure inherent to HEVC and is currently recognized as the most widely adopted international standard for stereoscopic video coding. In intra coding, quadtree partitioning is determined recursively through rate-distortion cost calculations. …”

Adaptation of the modular number system in threshold secret sharing schemes by A. F. Chernyavskiy, A. I. Kazlova, V. S. Sadov, A. A. Kolyada

“…The results of the presented work allow to conclude for modular threshold cryptosystems of secret sharing in distributed data processing systems that the use of a linear masking function and narrowing the range of changes in the masking analogue S̃ of the original secret S, allowing for minimally redundant coding for the selected p1, p2, …, pn, causes a significant reduction in the computational complexity of the calculated minimal-redundant modular arithmetic relations of integral characteristics within the framework of the model under study. …”
