Q2. What are the future works in "An error resilient scheme for image transmission over noisy channels with memory - image processing, ieee transactions on " ?
Future work will address the use of soft decision information in conjunction with trellis coded modulation ( TCM ) for the MAP channel decoding of compressed images over noisy channels.
Q3. What is the gain of the adaptive MAP decoder over the case?
A 4.68 dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) gain is achieved by the adaptive MAP decoder over the case when no MAP decoding is done.
Q4. What is the way to classify images?
Since images are nonstationary, image lines can be classified in two ways: (a) Lines for which neither M nor D are dominant, in which case no mismatch occurs.
Q5. What is the fragile module in the coding?
the most fragile module lies in the variable-length coding (either Huffman or arithmetic), for which the occurrence of an error produces catastrophic error propagation and total loss of the packet until the nextsynchronization occurs.
Q6. What is the problem with source coding schemes?
Since source coding schemes are not ideal, they always leave some residual redundancy in their output bitstream that can similarly be exploited at the receiver.
Q7. What is the way to detect the binary sequence?
More specifically, if Y n = yn = (y1; y2; ; yn) denotes the received binary sequence at the output of the channel, the MAP detector “guesses” the transmitted1 General Markov random field (MRF) models [8] are not used here, since MAP estimation for these models would require computationally intensive algorithms such as simulated annealing.
Q8. What is the way to reduce the error in compressed images?
A. Image Compression SchemeStandard visual compression methods such as Joint Photographers Expert Group (JPEG) and Motion Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) are fragile to channel errors.
Q9. What is the channel transition and marginal probability?
The channel transition and marginal probabilities Q(zn j zn 1) PrfZn = zn j Zn 1 = zn 1g and Q(zn) PrfZn = zng, are given byQ(0 j 0) Q(1 j 0) Q(0 j 1) Q(1 j 1) = 1 1 + 1 + 1 +and Q(1) = = 1 Q(0).
Q10. How is the source coding rate controlled?
Source coding rate control should be carried out by modifying the original quantization matrix and accordingly determining the optimal bit rate allocation for each coefficient.
Q11. What are the common ways to resolve artifacts?
These artifacts are often resolved through additional channel protection or postprocessing techniques that employ edge-preserving smoothing operators on the decoded image.
Q12. What is the method to achieve higher compression rates?
The authors use instead a suboptimal scheme to achieve higher compression rates: Varying rates are obtained by modifying the size of the zonal mask and discarding additional high-frequency DCT coefficients.
Q13. What is the MAP decoding scheme for binary images?
If M < T D , for some threshold T , the authors transmit the image line over the channel and MAP decode it using the line statistics and first-order Markov assumptions.
Q14. How many digits are in the mRdlog2?
If l denotes the number of accuracy digits for each source parameter, then the percentage of overhead information is equal to% Overhead = mRdlog2 (10l 1)eKwhere K is the image width and m is the number of source statistics per line (m = 4 for the second-order Markov model, m = 2 for the first-order model, and m = 1 for iid model).
Q15. What is the way to decode the image?
Note that this representation is amenable to progressive and scalable decoding of the image whereby the DCT coefficients for the full image are transmitted and decoded in order of increasing spatial frequency.
Q16. What is the performance of the image when it is sent over the binary Markov channel?
This leads us to conclude that when images are modeled by a second-order Markov chain and sent over the binary Markov channel, the best performance is obtained when = 0; i.e., when the channel is fully interleaved and transformed into a memoryless channel (BSC).
Q17. What is the difference between MAP and UEP?
Since MAP methods almost consistently yield a performance superior to that obtained by their ML counterpart for situations of interleaved channels ( = 0), clearly the use of prior distribution translates into appreciable performance gain.
Q18. What is the performance of the MAP-UEP schemes?
Significant performance improvements are obtained by introducing even limited UEP, especially at low BER, at the cost of often only moderate increases in overall rate (compare MAP-UNC at ( ; ; R) = ( ; 0:01; 1:19) to MAP-UEP-I at ( ; ; R) = ( ; 0:01; 1:31)).
