The straightforward application of Shannon′ s separation principle may entail a significant
suboptimality in practical systems with limited coding delay and complexity. This is …

There has been an outburst of research in image and video compression for transmission
over noisy channels. Channel matched source quantizer design has gained prominence …

We analyze the dependencies between the variables involved in the source and channel
coding chain. This analysis is carried out in the framework of Bayesian networks, which …

Entropy coding is a fundamental stage in all video compression algorithms in terms of
compression efficiency and error resilience. Variable-length entropy codes (VLC) are used …

Variable-length codes can be used in entropy coding the outputs of an optimum entropy-
constrained quantizer. Transmitting these codes over a synchronous channel; however …

We introduce" Block Arithmetic Coding"(BAC), a technique for entropy coding that combines
many of the advantages of ordinary stream arithmetic coding with the simplicity of block …

Many source and data compression schemes work by splitting the input signal into blocks
and producing variable-length coded data for each block. If these variable-length blocks are …

In this paper, we develop and analyze an easily instrumentable scheme for variable length
encoding of discrete memoryless fixed-rate sources in which buffer overflows result in …
