[pt] COMPRESSÃO COM PERDAS, DE IMAGENS OBTIDAS POR SATÉLITES DE SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO, PARA TRANSMISSÃO EM CANAL COM RUÍDO / [en] LOSSY COMPRESSION OF REMOTE SENSING IMAGES FOR TRANSMISSION OVER NOISY CHANNELARMANDO TEMPORAL NETO 10 November 2005 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre compressão de
imagens de sensoriamento remoto para serem transmitidas
através de um canal com ruído. As imagens são capturadas
por um satélite de sensoriamento remoto e transmitidas a
uma estação terrestre. A compreensão das imagens é
necessária para se economizar banda e potência de
transmissão. Algumas técnicas muito boas de compressão de
imagens apresentam sérios problemas quando na presença de
ruído. Assim, a técnica de quantização vetorial foi
escolhida para ser utilizada neste trabalho. Utilizando-se
a idéia de quantização vetorial multi-estágios, propões-se
um esquema de compressão com remoção de médias, onde
separa-se a informação contida na imagem para tratá-la de
forma diferenciada, de acordo com a sua importância. É
feita então uma análise sobre o projeto do enlace do
satélite do sensoriamento remoto comparando-se o esquema
utilizado atualmente com o esquema proposto. / [en] This thesis presents a study of remote sensing image
compression to be transmitted over a noisy channel. The
images are obtained by a remote sensing satellite and
transmitting to an earth station. The compression is due
to savings in bandwidth and transmitting power. Some of
the most efficient image codecs presents serious problems
in the presence of noise. So, the vector quantization
technique was chosen to be used. Using the multi-stage
vector quantization idea, a compression scheme with mean
remove is proposed as a manner to separate and treat
unequally the image information as its importance. An
analysis on the design of the remote sensing satellite
link is done with a comparison between the current scheme
used the proposed one.

[pt] CODIFICAÇÃO CONJUNTA, PARA FONTE E CANAL, USANDO QUANTIZAÇÃO VETORIAL ESTRUTURADA EM ÁRVORE, PARA IMAGENS DE SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO / [en] JOINT SOURCE-CHANNEL CODING USING TREE-STRCTURED VECTOR QUANTIZATION FOR REMOTE SENSING IMAGESRAFAEL DONNICI DE AZEVEDO 16 November 2005 (has links)
[pt] Este trabalho estuda o problema de compressão de imagens
de sensoriamento remoto segundo a ótica da codificação
conjunta fonte-canal.
É analisado o desempenho de métodos baseados em
quantização vetorial segundo o algoritmo LBG,
principalmente o COVQ (Channel Optimized Vector
Quantizer) bem como a quantização vetorial estruturada em
árvore. Dentro desse contexto, são propostos 2 novos
métodos para a resolução do problema: (1)Uma quantização
vetorial estruturada em árvores que leva em conta a
transmissão através de canais ruidosos, solução denominada
COTSVQ (Channel-Design Tree Strutured Vecotr Quantizer),
bem como (2) uma classe de métodos que se utiliza de
códigos corretores de erro sobre a estrutura progressiva
do TSVQ, de forma a proteger os dados de forma ativa
durante a transmissão. Os dois métodos propostos podem ser
combinados no mesmo compressor, de forma a originar uma
classe ampla de compressores adaptados à transmissão por
canais com ruído.
São apresentados resultados que comparam os desempenhos
dos métodos propostos com aqueles já existentes para uma
análise de desempenho, na situação de transmissão via
satélite de imagens captadas e comprimidas para uma taxa
de 1,5bpp.
Os resultados mostram que os métodos propostos são muito
menos complexos que os já existentes, porém conseguindo
atingir uma qualidade de imagem equivalente, ou, em alguns
casos, superior. / [en] This work studies the problem of remote sensorng image
compression by joint source-channel coding.
The vector quantizer methods evaluated are those designed
with the LBG algorithm, the COVQ (channel-optimized vector
quantizer) algorithm as well as tree-structured vector
quantizer. The noisy channel is modelled as a BSC.
In this context, two news methods are proposed: (1) A tree-
structures vector quantizer that considers the
transmission through noisy channels (denominated CD-TSVQ),
and (2) a new class of compressors that uses forward error-
correcting codes over the TSVQ structure, as a way to
actively protect data during the transmission. The
twoproposed methods can be combined on the same compressor
architecture, resulting in a vast class of compressors
well-adapted to the transmission through noisy channels.
Results allowing the comparision of the proposed methods
with existing ones are presented. Performance evaluated in
a scenery where images are compressed to be transmited at
a rate of 1.5bpp. Results yield to the conclusion that the
porposed methods are much less complex than the existing
methods, yet achieve equivalent or, in some situations,
improved performance.

Optimal erasure protection assignment for scalably compressed data over packet-based networksThie, Johnson, Electrical Engineering & Telecommunications, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW January 2004 (has links)
This research is concerned with the reliable delivery of scalable compressed data over lossy communication channels. Recent works proposed several strategies for assigning optimal code redundancies to elements of scalable data, which form a linear structure of dependency, under the assumption that all source elements are encoded onto a common group of network packets. Given large data and small network packets, such schemes require very long channel codes with high computational complexity. In networks with high loss, small packets are more desirable than long packets. The first contribution of this thesis is to propose a strategy for optimally assigning elements of the scalable data to clusters of packets, subject to constraints on packet size and code complexity. Given a packet cluster arrangement, the scheme then assigns optimal code redundancies to the source elements, subject to a constraint on transmission length. Experimental results show that the proposed strategy can outperform the previous code assignment schemes subject to the above-mentioned constraints, particularly at high channel loss rates. Secondly, we modify these schemes to accommodate complex structures of dependency. Source elements are allocated to clusters of packets according to their dependency structure, subject to constraints on packet size and channel codeword length. Given a packet cluster arrangement, the proposed schemes assign optimal code redundancies to the source elements, subject to a constraint on transmission length. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed strategies for correctly modelling the dependency structure. The last contribution of this thesis is to propose a scheme for optimizing protection of scalable data where limited retransmission is possible. Previous work assumed that retransmission is not possible. For most real-time or interactive applications, however, retransmission of lost data may be possible up to some limit. In the present work we restrict our attention to streaming sources (e.g., video) where each source element can be transmitted in one or both of two time slots. An optimization algorithm determines the transmission and level of protection for each source element, using information about the success of earlier transmissions. Experimental results confirm the benefit of limited retransmission.

Control over Low-Rate Noisy ChannelsBao, Lei January 2009 (has links)
Networked embedded control systems are present almost everywhere. A recent trendis to introduce radio communication in these systems to increase mobility and flex-ibility. Network nodes, such as the sensors, are often simple devices with limitedcomputing and transmission power and low storage capacity, so an important prob-lem concerns how to optimize the use of resources to provide sustained overall sys-tem performance. The approach to this problem taken in the thesis is to analyzeand design the communication and control application layers in an integrated man-ner. We focus in particular on cross-layer design techniques for closed-loop controlover non-ideal communication channels, motivated by future control systems withvery low-rate and highly quantized sensor communication over noisy links. Severalfundamental problems in the design of source–channel coding and optimal controlfor these systems are discussed.The thesis consists of three parts. The first and main part is devoted to the jointdesign of the coding and control for linear plants, whose state feedback is trans-mitted over a finite-rate noisy channel. The system performance is measured by afinite-horizon linear quadratic cost. We discuss equivalence and separation proper-ties of the system, and conclude that although certainty equivalence does not holdin general it can still be utilized, under certain conditions, to simplify the overalldesign by separating the estimation and the control problems. An iterative opti-mization algorithm for training the encoder–controller pairs, taking channel errorsinto account in the quantizer design, is proposed. Monte Carlo simulations demon-strate promising improvements in performance compared to traditional approaches.In the second part of the thesis, we study the rate allocation problem for statefeedback control of a linear plant over a noisy channel. Optimizing a time-varyingcommunication rate, subject to a maximum average-rate constraint, can be viewedas a method to overcome the limited bandwidth and energy resources and to achievebetter overall performance. The basic idea is to allow the sensor and the controllerto communicate with a higher data rate when it is required. One general obstacle ofoptimal rate allocation is that it often leads to a non-convex and non-linear problem.We deal with this challenge by using high-rate theory and Lagrange duality. It isshown that the proposed method gives a good performance compared to some otherrate allocation schemes.In the third part, encoder–controller design for Gaussian channels is addressed.Optimizing for the Gaussian channel increases the controller complexity substan-tially because the channel output alphabet is now infinite. We show that an efficientcontroller can be implemented using Hadamard techniques. Thereafter, we proposea practical controller that makes use of both soft and hard channel outputs. / QC 20100623

Lattice-Based Precoding And Decoding in MIMO Fading SystemsTaherzadeh, Mahmoud January 2008 (has links)
In this thesis, different aspects of lattice-based precoding and decoding for the transmission of digital and analog data over MIMO fading channels are investigated:
1) Lattice-based precoding in MIMO broadcast systems:
A new viewpoint for adopting the lattice reduction in communication over MIMO broadcast channels is introduced. Lattice basis reduction helps us to reduce the average transmitted energy by modifying the region which includes the constellation points. The new viewpoint helps us to generalize the idea of lattice-reduction-aided precoding for the case of unequal-rate transmission, and obtain analytic results for the asymptotic behavior of the symbol-error-rate for the lattice-reduction-aided precoding and the perturbation technique. Also, the outage probability for both cases of fixed-rate users and fixed sum-rate is analyzed. It is shown that the lattice-reduction-aided method, using LLL algorithm, achieves the optimum asymptotic slope of symbol-error-rate (called the precoding diversity).
2) Lattice-based decoding in MIMO multiaccess systems and MIMO point-to-point systems:
Diversity order and diversity-multiplexing tradeoff are two important measures for the performance of communication systems over MIMO fading channels. For the case of MIMO multiaccess systems (with single-antenna transmitters) or MIMO point-to-point systems with V-BLAST transmission scheme, it is proved that lattice-reduction-aided decoding achieves the maximum receive diversity (which is equal to the number of receive antennas). Also, it is proved that the naive lattice decoding (which discards the out-of-region decoded points) achieves the maximum diversity in V-BLAST systems. On the other hand, the inherent drawbacks of the naive lattice decoding for general MIMO fading systems is investigated. It is shown that using the naive lattice decoding for MIMO systems has considerable deficiencies in terms of the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff. Unlike the case of maximum-likelihood decoding, in this case, even the perfect lattice space-time codes which have the non-vanishing determinant property can not achieve the optimal diversity-multiplexing tradeoff.
3) Lattice-based analog transmission over MIMO fading channels:
The problem of finding a delay-limited schemes for sending an analog source over MIMO fading channels is investigated in this part. First, the problem of robust joint source-channel coding over an additive white Gaussian noise channel is investigated. A new scheme is proposed which achieves the optimal slope for the signal-to-distortion-ratio (SDR) curve (unlike the previous known coding schemes). Then, this idea is extended to MIMO channels to construct lattice-based codes for joint source-channel coding over MIMO channels. Also, similar to the diversity-multiplexing tradeoff, the asymptotic performance of MIMO joint source-channel coding schemes is characterized, and a concept called diversity-fidelity tradeoff is introduced in this thesis.
