While 60 years of successful application of holography is celebrated in this special issue,
efficient representation and compression of holographic data has received relatively little …

Advanced microscopic techniques such as high-throughput, high-content, multispectral, and
3D imaging could include many images per experiment requiring hundreds of gigabytes …

Lossless compression is desired, especially for professional applications like medical
imaging. However, scalability may be necessary to transmit a fast preview of pictures when …

Pixelwise linear prediction using backward-adaptive least-squares or weighted least-
squares estimation of prediction coefficients is currently among the state-of-the-art methods …

Power constraints constitute a critical design issue for the portable video codec system, in
which the external dynamic random access memory (DRAM) accounts for more than half of …

The high efficiency video coding standard provides excellent coding performance but is also
very complex. Especially, the intra mode decision is very time-consuming due to the large …
