A novel error recovery scheme for JPEG2000 image is presented in this paper, which adopts different techniques for the lowest frequency coefficients and high frequency coefficients in the wavelet domain. The low-frequency recovery algorithm was implemented by adopting the watermarking technique and the packet structure of JPEG2000. The low-frequency eoefficients taken as the hidden data were extracted from the compressed bit stream, and then were embedded back into the bit stream itself prior to transmission. The embedded data were used to recover the information loss. High-frequency reconstruction was performed in bitplane base. The damaged bitplanes were recovered according to the correlation in the wavelet subband structure and by using the algorithm based on the horizontal and vertical edge detection. Experiments verified the effectiveness of these algorithms.展开更多

Based on the error-propagation analysis in a group of pictures （GOP）, we propose an unequal Forced-Intra-Refresh （FIR） scheme to improve packet loss resilience of video streaming. According to a GOP-level error-propagation model, the proposed unequal FIR scheme can optimally increase the unequal number of forced intra-mode MBs for different frames in a GOP. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance the robustness of video streaming under different channel conditions, and achieve about 0. 1-0.9 dB gains over the average FIR scheme in H.264/AVC tools.展开更多

Performance of the proposed scheme is compared with the existing schemes with multiple testing sequences at different bit error rates. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can mask the impairments caused by transmission errors more efficiently than 0 MV and average MV methods by consuming more time for different bit error rates. It has an acceptable image quality close to that obtained by the selective motion vector matching （ SMVM ） algorithm, while taking less than half of cycles of operations. The proposed concealment scheme is suitable for low complexity video real-time implementations.展开更多

The systematic errors are formulated for the region on the basis of 10-yr (1991-2000) results of the nested-model system, and of the datasets of the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Merged Analysis of Precipitation (CMAP) and the temperature analysis of the National Meteorological Center (NMC), U.S.A., which are then used for correcting the original forecast by the system for the period 2001-2005. After the assessment of the original and corrected forecasts for monthly precipitation and surface air temperature, it is found that the corrected forecast is apparently better than the original, suggesting that the approach can be applied for improving monthly-scale regional climate dynamical forecast.展开更多

In the last few years,three series of scatterometers were launched to measure these winds,including the Advanced Scatterometer(ASCAT) aboard Meteorological Operational Satellite A(Met Op-A) and Met Op-B,Oceansat-2 Scatterometer(OSCAT),and HY-2A Scatterometer(HY-2A SCAT). Based on buoy wind data,validation and intercomparison of these scatterometers were performed. Scatterometer-derived wind and buoy wind data were collected only if the spatial difference was less than 0.1 degree and temporal difference less than 5 min. After discarding wind direction data outside five times the standard deviation,ASCAT wind products showed high accuracy in both wind speed and direction,with root-mean-square error(RMSE) 0.86 m/s and 17.97 degrees,respectively. HY-2A SCAT nearly meets the mission requirement,with RMSE for wind speed 1.23 m/s and 22.85 degrees for wind direction. OSCAT had poor performance when compared with the others. RMSE for wind speed was 1.54 m/s and 39.86 degrees for wind direction,which greatly exceeds the mission requirement of 20 degrees. In addition,the RMSE for wind direction shows a high-low pattern on buoy wind speed. However,a wind speed range from 14 to 15 m/s was found to be abnormal,and the reason remains unclear. There was no systematic dependency of both wind speed and direction residuals on buoy wind speed and cross-track location of the wind vector cells across the entire range. No seasonal variation was found for any scatterometer.展开更多

In the proposed approach, two commonly-used design patterns for handling complex conditional statements are selected, and they are the factory method pattern and the strategy pattem. Two pattern-directed refactoring approaches based on the two design patterns are proposed. Each approach contains a refactoring opportunities identification algorithm and an automated refactoring algorithm. After parsing the abstract syntax tree generated from source code, the refactoring opportunities are identified effectively and automatically. Then, for candidate code, refactoring algorithms are executed automatically, which are used to simplify or remove complex conditional statements. By empirical analysis and quality assessment, the code after refactoring has better maintainability and extensibility, and the proposed approach for automated pattern-directed refactoring succeeds to reduce code size and complexity of classes.展开更多

文摘For video streaming over lossy channels, intra refresh can mitigate the error-propagation effect caused by packet losses Besides some intra-mode macroblocks （MBs） generated by the ＂Lagrangian rate-distortion＂ or ＂Sum of absolute difference＂ mode decision, the encoder or transcoder possibly needs to increase some ＂forced＂ intra-mode MBs for robust video streaming. Based on the error-propagation analysis in a group of pictures （GOP）, we propose an unequal Forced-Intra-Refresh （FIR） scheme to improve packet loss resilience of video streaming. According to a GOP-level error-propagation model, the proposed unequal FIR scheme can optimally increase the unequal number of forced intra-mode MBs for different frames in a GOP. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme can effectively enhance the robustness of video streaming under different channel conditions, and achieve about 0. 1-0.9 dB gains over the average FIR scheme in H.264/AVC tools.
