Omni directional video coding rate distortion optimization method based on weighted-to-spherically-uniform structural similarity by Yufeng ZHOU, Mei YU, Baozhen DU, Yang SONG, Gangyi JIANG

“…Aiming at the shortcomings of the coding rate distortion model in traditional video coding,considering the characteristics of equal rectangular omnidirectional video,a method of omnidirectional video coding rate distortion optimization based on spherical weighted structural similarity (WS-SSIM) was proposed.By considering the distortion of the internal structural similarity of the projection plane and the relationship between the spherical distortion and the projection plane distortion,the “spherical weighted structural similarity” was proposed to describe the degree of distortion of the planar omnidirectional image local block relative to the viewing sphere,which was applied to the rate-distortion optimization process of omnidirectional video coding and adaptive selection of quantization parameters to improve vision-based coding efficiency.The experimental results show that compared with the HEVC video coding standard HM16.9 test platform,the proposed method can save an average of 24.48% code rate under the same visual quality,which indicates that the method has significant performance for improving the omnidirectional video coding rate distortion performance.…”

Robust Model Predictive Control for AFE-Inverter Drives With Common Mode Voltage Elimination by S.M. Muslem Uddin, Galina Mirzaeva, Graham C. Goodwin

“…The main feature of the proposed MPC is elimination of Common Mode Voltage (CMV) without imposing a penalty on the corresponding term in the cost function, but rather by a smart utilisation of the restricted set of switching states in a computationally efficient algorithm. Furthermore, the paper proposes to split the conventional MPC scheme into separate Control and Modulation stages, and to enhance the Control stage by integral action, and the Modulation stage - by a Feedback Quantizer. …”

Energy efficiency joint optimization algorithm for low-precision ADC massive MIMO systems by Haiyan CAO, Wenjuan HU, Yingjuan ZHI, Fangmin XU, Xin FANG

“…An uplink energy efficiency optimization algorithm based on alternating optimization algorithm was proposed for large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with low-precision analog to digital converters (ADC).That is,based on the maximum ratio combining (MRC) reception,an optimization model aiming at maximizing energy efficiency was established,and then the original fractional form optimization problem was converted into an equivalent subtractive form according to the nature of the fractional programming.In the case where the number of quantization bits was constant,the iterative optimization of the transmission power and the pilot length were performed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better spectral efficiency and energy efficiency.…”
