TL;DR: A system that incorporates teachings of the exemplary embodiments may include means for generating a disparity map based on a depth map, means for determining accuracy of pixels in the depth map where the determining means identifies the pixels as either accurate or inaccurate based on the confidence map and the disparity map as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A computer-aided proof approach based on primal and dual relation is developed, which extends Yeung's linear programming method, which was previously only used on information theoretic problems with a few random variables due to the exponential growth of the number of variables in the corresponding LP problem.

TL;DR: A systematic treatment of the El Gamal-Cover (EGC) achievable MD rate-distortion region is provided, and it can be decomposed into a simplified-EGC (SEGC) region and a superimposed refinement operation.

TL;DR: This work considers the problem of transmitting a Gaussian source on a slowly fading Gaussian channel, subject to the mean-squared error distortion measure, and proposes an efficient algorithm to compute the optimal solution in linear time, when the total number of possible discrete fading states is large.

TL;DR: A new class of exact-repair regenerating codes is constructed by stitching together shorter erasure correction codes, where the stitching pattern can be viewed as block designs, and it is shown that the proposed construction can achieve a nontrivial point on the optimal functional-repair tradeoff and is asymptotically optimal at high rate.
