In many video-coding standards, the motion vector field is one of the most important data in the compressed bitstream, and its loss can lead to severe degradation in the decoded picture quality. We propose the multiple description motion coding (MDMC) algorithm to enhance the robustness of the motion vector field against transmission errors. In MDMC, the motion vector field is encoded into two descriptions, which are transmitted over distinct channels to the decoder. The decoder is designed to p

The world of business is being profoundly transformed by the Internet and electronic commerce. The rapid advancement of Internet technology and its applications holds promise for the expansion of business opportunities in the global digital economy. Internet systems support a world‐wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination and a medium for electronic commerce between organizations and customers across countries. Describes research that leads to the derivation of a d

Given the energy level alignment between viologen and cobaltocene, cobaltocene readily transfers electrons to the intrinsically insulating viologen, resulting in the formation of an electron transfer complex with high electron density. When cobaltocene−viologen is incorporated as active layers in organic thin-film transistors, the output current of devices scales with increasing cobaltocene concentrations. We further demonstrate that cobaltocene−viologen makes effective electron transport layers

Abstract Little is known about the principles of surface structure design for orthopedic and dental implants. To find topographical groove patterns that could enhance osteoblast differentiation according to cell type, groove patterns are fabricated with ridges (0.35−7 µm) and grooves (0.65−6 µm) of various widths and explored their mechanisms in improving osteoblast differentiation. This study finds that a groove pattern enhancing osteoblast differentiation is associated with the ability of the

This paper proposes a motion compensation (MC) algorithm for robust transmission of video sequence, called the double-vector motion compensation (DMC). In the DMC, each block B in a frame is predicted from the weighted superposition of two blocks in the previous two frames, using two motion vectors. Therefore, when one of these two blocks is corrupted during the transmission, the decoder can efficiently suppress its error propagation to the subsequent frames, by predicting B only from the other

Subband coding (SBC) has been shown to be an effective method for coding monochrome images at low bit rates. SBC systems decompose the input image into a small number of decimated, spectrally disjoint subband images which are then coded by a variety of means. Reconstruction is performed by decoding and merging the reinterpolated subband images. This work investigates the application of the subband concept to the efficient coding of color images. The color representations are cast into a subband

We propose a novel algorithm for fractal video sequence coding, based on the circular prediction mapping and the noncontractive interframe mapping. The proposed algorithm can effectively exploit the temporal correlation in real image sequences, since each range block is approximated by the domain block in the adjacent frame, which is of the same size as the range block. The computer simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides very promising performance at low bit rate, ra

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for robust transmission of video sequences, based on the multiple description motion coding (MDMC). In the MDMC, the motion vector field is encoded into two descriptions, which are transmitted over distinct channels to the decoder. The decoder is designed to provide an acceptable quality prediction image, even if one of the descriptions is lost during the transmission. Moreover, the decoder reconstructs a higher quality prediction image, if both the descript
