Design and implementation for partition dynamically vector quantization chip by YU Ning-mei, WANG Dong-fang, LIAO Yu-min, FU Yun-qiang

“…Partition dynamically vector quantization（PDVQ） chip was researched and produced to encode images.Before encoding,it first judged the correlation of the encoding image block,and then decided to choose the size of the image blocks.Test result shows that PDVQ chip can improve the compression rate to 27% in average by contrasting with the normal VQ,even to 64%.The size of the codebook in PDVQ chip was 256×16 byte,and all codevectors in the codebook were categorized by direction,in each category codebook codewords were sorted in the ascending order of their sum,this kind codebook architecture could reduce search range largely.The VLSI architecture of PDVQ chip was implemented based on Charter 0.35μm CMOS standard cell technology,its chip area was 2.08mm×2.08mm.Test result shows that,at 3.0V power supply,PDVQ chip can operate up to 100MHz.At this operation,its power dissipation is 295mW,and it can support real-time encoding application for 512×512 gray images at 30fame/s.…”

Adaptive Fringe Projection for 3D Shape Measurement with Large Reflectivity Variations by Using Image Fusion and Predicted Search by Wei Feng, Shaojing Tang, Xiaodong Zhao, Guodong Sun, Daxing Zhao

“…The multiple mask images are fused to obtain the required saturation threshold, and the interpolated prediction search algorithm is used to calculate the optimal projection gray-level intensity. Then, the projection intensity is reduced to achieve coordinate matching in the unsaturated condition, and the adaptive digital fringes with the optimal projection intensity are subsequently projected for phase calculation by using the heterodyne multifrequency phase-shifted method. …”

Exploiter un corpus de données textuelles sans post-traitement : l’écriture burlesque de la Fronde by Karine Abiven, Jean-Baptiste Tanguy, Gaël Lejeune

“…We choose to exploit these raw data, without post-processing or text correction, which still seems to allow us to obtain results (regarding lexicon, metre or enunciation), with various methods (textometry and observation of character n-grams). We thus show the specificity, in the burlesque writing of the Fronde, of some literary motifs or rhymes. …”
