In this algorithm, a sorted codebook is generated regarding the mean values of all codewords. During the encoding stage, high correlation of the adjacent image blocks is utilized, and a searching range is obtained in the sorted codebook according to the mean value of the current processing vector. In order to gain good performance, proper THd and NS are predefined on the basis of experimental experiences and additional distortion limitation. The expermental results show that the MMCVQ algorithm is much faster than the full-search VQ algorithm, and the encoding quality degradation of the proposed algorithm is only 0.3~0.4 dB compared to the full-search VQ.展开更多

Common digital image watermarking techniques are based on the concept of spread spectrum communications, which can be classified in two catalogues: spatial domain and transform domain based. Most of transform domain watermarking methods are based on discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and robust to JPEG lossy compression. Recently, digital image watermarking based on another important lossy compression technique, vector quantization (VQ), has been presented, which carries watermark information by codeword indices. It is secret and efficient, and is robust to VQ compression with the same codebook. However, the embedded information is less and the extraction process requires the original image. This paper presents a more efficient VQ based image watermarking method, which can embed a large gray level watermark into the original image with less extra distortion and perform the watermark extraction without the original image. In addition, the proposed watermarking algorithm is very secret because two keys are required for watermark extraction. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.展开更多

It is shown that the photon is neither a point particle nor an infinite wave but behaves rather like a local “wave-corpuscle” extended over a wavelength, occupying a minimum quantization volume and guided by a non-local vector potential real wave function. The quantized vector potential oscillates over a wavelength with circular left or right polarization giving birth to orthogonal magnetic and electric fields whose amplitudes are proportional to the square of the frequency. The energy and momentum are carried by the local wave-corpuscle guided by the non-local vector potential wave function suitably normalized.展开更多

The suggested sinusoidal coder is targeted to find the coded sinusoidal parameters obtained by minimizing a likelihood function in a least square (LS) sense. From a rate-distortion standpoint, we address the problem of how to allocate available bits among different frequency bands to code sinusoids at each frame. For further analyzing the quantization behavior of the proposed method, we assess the quantization performance with respect to other methods: the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) based coder commonly used for speech enhancement or separation, and the line spectral frequency (LSF) coder used in speech coding. Through extensive simulations, we show that the proposed quantizer leads to less spectral distortion as well as higher perceived quality for the re-synthesized signals based on the coded parameters in a model-based approach with respect to previous STFT-based methods. The proposed method lowers the complexity, and, due to its tree-structure, leads to a rapid search capability. It provides flexibility for use in many speaker-independent applications by finding the most likely frequency vectors selected from a list of frequency candidates. Therefore, the proposed quantizer can be considered an attractive candidate for model-based speech applications in both speaker-dependent and speaker-independent scenarios.展开更多
