Distributed source coding is a promising enabling technology for sensor network applications. Symmetric Distributed source coding can achieve the entire Slepian-Wolf rate region and offer sensor network applications a wide range of options to compress and transmit data. In this paper, we design a new symmetric distributed coding scheme that realize the benefits of both simplified code construction and bit incorrespondence handling. In particular, we propose a general scheme to deal with the bit incorrespondence problem, which is not specifically addressed by previous approaches. With the ability to deal with the bit incorrespondence in the code structure, it is more likely for our approach to be used in real sensor network environments.
Video transcoding can convert a compressed video from one format to another format. In this paper, we propose a novel multiview video transcoder, which is used for bit-rate scaling of multiple compressed synchronized video streams. Different from the traditional joint transcoder for independent multiple program transcoding, the multiview video transcoder has one unique task to decorrelate spatial redundancies among video streams. A fast disparity estimation algorithm with the GOP-based disparity search window is put forward and evaluated. The proposed multiview video transcoder can be used to design a cost-effective video acquisition and transmission system for emerging 3D video applications.
Abstract. Intra-domain traffic engineering is essential for the operation of an Internet Service Provider. Demand-oblivious routing [2] promises excellent performance guarantee with changing and uncertain traffic demands. However, it is difficult to implement it. We investigate an efficient and deployable implementation of oblivious routing. We study its performance by both numerical experiments and simulation. The performance study shows that the multipath implementation achieves a close approximation to oblivious routing [2], especially when approximate knowledge of traffic is available. The study also shows its robustness under varying traffic demands, link failures and an adversary attack. Its performance is excellent even with a 100% error in traffic estimation.
Abstract-Symmetric distributed source coding has made great progress in the past several years. However, few attempts have been tried to use the symmetric distributed source coding schemes in real data compression scenarios. In this paper, with the inspiration of previous symmetric distributed source coding schemes, we first put forward a novel syndrome-based symmetric distributed coding scheme which can achieve the whole Slepian-Wolf rate region. Then we propose a general architecture for symmetric distributed multiview video schemes. Our experiments show very encouraging results. In the high-rate case, our scheme can achieve great rate saving from separate H.264 coding scheme at the same video quality.
