This paper investigates the relationship between the compression ratio and the gamut area for a reconstructed image when using JPEG and JPEG2000. Eighteen color samples from the Macbeth ColorChecker are initially used to analyze the relationship between the compression ratio and the color bleeding phenomenon, i.e. the hue and chroma shifts in the * b a color plane. In addition, twelve natural c...

in this study, an in-house multi-dimensional code has been developed which simulates the combustion of n-heptane in a homogeneous charge compression ignition (hcci) engine. it couples the flow field computations with detailed chemical kinetic scheme which involves the multi-reactions equations. a chemical kinetic scheme solver has been developed and coupled for solving the chemical reactions an...

OBJECTIVE Despite widespread training with CPR guidelines, CPR is often poorly performed. We explore relationships between knowledge of CPR guidelines and performance (compression rate, compression depth, compression to ventilation ratio, and ventilation volume). METHODS Sixty professional EMTs were sampled at 26 randomly ordered EMS response stations from an urban system of 31 stations. A re...

The fractal image compression problem put forward three major requirements: speeding up the compression algorithm, improving image quality or increasing compression ratio. Major variants of the standard algorithm were proposed to speed up computation time. But most of them lead to a bad image quality, or a lower compression ratio. In this paper we present an implementation based on genetic algo...

Even though, the storage space and transmission bandwidth can be reduced by compression, it will reduce the image fidelity, especially when the images are compressed at lower bit rates. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) based compression is an effective way of compression in which good compression ratio without losing too much of information can be obtained. In this work a comparison of DCT based...
