This paper proposes an adaptive morphological dilation image coding with context weights prediction. The new dilation method is not to use fixed models, but to decide whether a coefficient needs to be dilated or not according to the coefficients predicted significance degree. It includes two key dilation technologies: 1) controlling dilation process with context weights to reduce the output of insignificant coefficients, and 2) using variable-length group test coding with context weights to adjust the coding order and cost as few bits as possible to present the events with large probability. Moreover, we also propose a novel context weight strategy to predict coefficients significance degree more accurately, which serves for two dilation technologies. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms the state of the art image coding algorithms available today.
Image Fusion, a technique which combines complimentary information from different images of the same scene so that the fused image is more suitable for segmentation, feature extraction, object recognition and Human Visual System. In this paper, a simple yet efficient algorithm is presented based on contrast using wavelet packet decomposition. First, all the source images are decomposed into low and high frequency sub-bands and then fusion of high frequency sub-bands is done by the means of Directive Contrast. Now, inverse wavelet packet transform is performed to reconstruct the fused image. The performance of the algorithm is carried out by the comparison made between proposed and existing algorithm.
We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanism include node- or link- failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an over-estimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Koetter and Kschischang, we introduce a probabilistic model for errors. We compute the capacity of this channel and we define an error-correction scheme based on random sparse graphs and a low-complexity decoding algorithm. By optimizing over the code degree profile, we show that this construction achieves the channel capacity in complexity which is jointly quadratic in the number of coded information bits and sublogarithmic in the error probability.
We propose a novel adaptive and causal random linear network coding (AC-RLNC) algorithm with forward error correction (FEC) for a point-to-point communication channel with delayed feedback. AC-RLNC is adaptive to the channel condition, that the algorithm estimates, and is causal, as coding depends on the particular erasure realizations, as reflected in the feedback acknowledgments. Specifically, the proposed model can learn the erasure pattern of the channel via feedback acknowledgments, and adaptively adjust its retransmission rates using a priori and posteriori algorithms. By those adjustments, AC-RLNC achieves the desired delay and throughput, and enables transmission with zero error probability. We upper bound the throughput and the mean and maximum in order delivery delay of AC-RLNC, and prove that for the point to point communication channel in the non-asymptotic regime the proposed code may achieve more than 90% of the channel capacity. To upper bound the throughput we utilize the minimum Bhattacharyya distance for the AC-RLNC code. We validate those results via simulations. We contrast the performance of AC-RLNC with the one of selective repeat (SR)-ARQ, which is causal but not adaptive, and is a posteriori. Via a study on experimentally obtained commercial traces, we demonstrate that a protocol based on AC-RLNC can, vis-`a-vis SR-ARQ, double the throughput gains, and triple the gain in terms of mean in order delivery delay when the channel is bursty. Furthermore, the difference between the maximum and mean in order delivery delay is much smaller than that of SR-ARQ. Closing the delay gap along with boosting the throughput is very promising for enabling ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) applications.
The ambiguities introduced by the recombination of morphemes constructing several possible inflections for a word makes the prediction of syntactic traits in Morphologically Rich Languages (MRLs) a notoriously complicated task. We propose the Multi Task Deep Morphological analyzer (MT-DMA), a character-level neural morphological analyzer based on multitask learning of word-level tag markers for Hindi and Urdu. MT-DMA predicts a set of six morphological tags for words of Indo-Aryan languages: Parts-of-speech (POS), Gender (G), Number (N), Person (P), Case (C), Tense-Aspect-Modality (TAM) marker as well as the Lemma (L) by jointly learning all these in one trainable framework. We show the effectiveness of training of such deep neural networks by the simultaneous optimization of multiple loss functions and sharing of initial parameters for context-aware morphological analysis. Exploiting character-level features in phonological space optimized for each tag using multi-objective genetic algorithm, our model establishes a new state-of-the-art accuracy score upon all seven of the tasks for both the languages. MT-DMA is publicly accessible: code, models and data are available at https://github.com/Saurav0074/morph_analyzer.
Soft compression is a lossless image compression method, which is committed to eliminating coding redundancy and spatial redundancy at the same time by adopting locations and shapes of codebook to encode an image from the perspective of information theory and statistical distribution. In this paper, we propose a new concept, compressible indicator function with regard to image, which gives a threshold about the average number of bits required to represent a location and can be used for revealing the performance of soft compression. We investigate and analyze soft compression for binary image, gray image and multi-component image by using specific algorithms and compressible indicator value. It is expected that the bandwidth and storage space needed when transmitting and storing the same kind of images can be greatly reduced by applying soft compression.
