All pipelines are subject to corrosion and require inspection in accordance with regulatory requirements to ensure human safety. Intelligent Pipeline Inspection Gauges (PIGs) as shown in Figure 1 have provided reliable on-line inspection of pipelines for many years, supplying operators with detailed information about pipeline condition. The average transmission pipe length is 300km and the aver...

of the Thesis DCT Based SPIHT Architecture for Hyperspectral Image Data Compression by Jieming Xu Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University, August 2016 Prof. Vinay K. Ingle, Adviser The wavelet transformation is leading and widely used technology in transform coding. Many coding algorithms are designed for this transformation based on its unique structure...

Frequency –warped signal processing techniques are attractive to many wideband speech and audio applications since they have a clear connection to the frequency resolution of human hearing. A warped version of the linear predictive coding (LPC) for speech compression is implemented in this paper and an analysis of the application of Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm to th...

With the spurt in the amount of data (Image, video, audio, speech, & text) available on the net, there is a huge demand for memory & bandwidth savings. One has to achieve this, by maintaining the quality & fidelity of the data acceptable to the end user. Wavelet transform is an important and practical tool for data compression. Set partitioning in hierarchal trees (SPIHT) is a widely used compr...

This paper proposes new scheme for efficient rate allocation in conjunction with reducing peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Modification of the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) image coder is proposed to generate four different groups of bit-stream relative to its significances. The significant bits, the sign bits, the ...
