An important consideration for any digital 03 image is how to store it. This is especially true for high dynamic range (HDR) images, which record a much wider gamut than standard 24-bit RGB, and therefore require an efficient encoding to avoid taking up an excess of disk space and network bandwidth. Fortunately, several HDR file encodings and formats have already been developed by the graphics ...

It is possible to interpret the shape of buildings based on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired using airborne SAR systems. However, the pixel values of SAR images have high dynamic range intensity, and SAR images are not displayable without dynamic range intensity compression. We therefore have developed a dynamic range intensity compression method suitable for SAR image features. U...

The performance, reliability, and ubiquity of automatic speech recognition systems has flourished in recent years due to steadily increasing computational power and technological innovations such as hidden Markov models, weighted finite-state transducers, and deep learning methods. One problem which plagues speech recognition systems, especially those that operate offline and have been trained ...

Data cache compression is actively studied as a venue to make better use of onchip transistors, increase apparent capacity of caches, and hide the long memory latencies. While several techniques have been proposed for L2 compression, L1 compression is an elusive goal. This is due to L1’s sensitivity to latency and the inability to create compression schemes that are both fast and adaptable to p...

BACKGROUND Fracture of the ilium is common orthopedic injury that often requires surgical stabilization in canine patients. Of the various methods of surgical stabilization available, application of a lateral bone plate to the ilium is the most common method of fixation. Many plating options are available, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. The purpose of this study was to evalua...

In this study Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) raw data compression techniques are introduced. Two encoding approaches are generally used. Direct encoding in spatial domain and transform encoding in transform domain. A well-known spatial domain compression technique is based on Block Adaptive Quantization (BAQ)[3,6]. BAQ encoding is implemented by dividing the SAR Raw data set into data blocks of...

HTTP compression is an essential tool for web speed up and network cost reduction. Not surprisingly, it is used by over 95% of top websites, saving about 75% of webpage traffic. The currently used compression format and tools were designed over 15 years ago, with static content in mind. Although the web has significantly evolved since and became highly dynamic, the compression solutions have no...
