A differential precoding scheme for random linear network coding is proposed and assessed. We derive the sets of parameters for which the use of higher rates and smaller packet lengths is possible when compared to the standard approach using a lifting construction. It is demonstrated how rank-metric codes may be used for this differential coding approach in order to improve performance and to d...

In 2009, Tsai et al. proposed reversible image hiding scheme using linear prediction coding and histogram shifting. Tsai et al.’s scheme improved the hiding capacity of Ni et al.’s scheme using the linear prediction coding and two histograms. In the linear prediction coding, however, the basic pixel is not used. If a value of basic pixel is the largest or the smallest in a block, only one histo...

a non-malleable code is a variant of an encoding scheme which is resilient to tampering attacks. the main idea behind nonmalleable coding is that the adversary should not be able to obtain any valuable information about the message. non-malleablecodes are used in tamper-resilient cryptography and protecting memories against tampering attacks. many different types of nonmalleability have already...

A coding scheme for the binary memoryless source is presented. The scheme is an extension of a scheme discovered by Lynch and Davisson and developed by Schalkwijk, and is based upon the Schalkwijk algorithm for the Lynch-Davisson (LD) code. The new coding scheme is shown to be asymptotically optimal as the block length approaches infinity, regardless of the source statistics. Although the LD sc...

This document presents an efficient screen content coding scheme based on HEVC framework. The major techniques in the scheme includes hash-based large-scale block matching, dictionary mode, palette mode, adaptive color space coding, and several improvements to intra block copy mode. This scheme was submitted as our response to the joint Call for Proposals (CfP) for coding of screen content issu...

A novel image coding scheme using wavelet transform is presented. The developed coding scheme prevents undesirable classifications of wavelet coefficients which arise from conventional quadtree based image coding. This is accomplished by pre-processing the wavelet coefficients. This pre-processing is based statistical distributions of the wavelet coefficients in subbands and the human visual sy...

We present a coding scheme, based on a Bayesian Network (BN) formalism, for describing probabilistic and causal information in arguments in medical genetics. The scheme was applied to a corpus of genetic counseling letters and evaluated for intercoder reliability. Results show that the model is highly relevant to the corpus while intercoder reliability of the coding scheme is good. We plan to u...

This paper proposes an efficient scalable coding scheme with fine-grain scalability, where the base layer is encoded with H.26L, and the enhancement layer is encoded with PFGS coding. Motion compensation with adaptive block size has greatly contributed to the coding efficiency improvement in H.26L. In order to improve efficiency of the enhancement layer coding, an improved motion estimation sch...

Multiterminal (MT) source coding refers to separate lossy encoding and joint decoding of multiple correlated sources. This paper presents two practical MT coding schemes under the same general framework of Slepian-Wolf coded quantization (SWCQ) for both direct and indirect quadratic Gaussian MT source coding problems with two encoders. The first asymmetric SWCQ scheme relies on quantization and...
