Abstract: As an alternative implementation of Slepian-Wolf coding, distributed arithmetic coding is very competitive in short and medium block lengths. The existing distributed arithmetic coding ...

[Note this is an in-progress specification to be used in an upcoming format.] At a high level, the decoder works by maintaining a current range (defined by a base value and length) within a large ...

Abstract: Context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) is the major entropy-coding algorithm employed in H.264/AVC. In this paper, we present a new VLSI architecture design for an H.264/AVC ...

[Note this is an in-progress specification to be used in an upcoming format.] The decoder supports adaptive binary and multi-symbol models, as well as specialized encoding schemes like truncated ...

Distributed video coding (DVC) represents a paradigm shift in video compression, wherein the computational burden is transferred from the encoder to the decoder. This approach exploits the inherent ...
