  • Bijective BWT (7 Comments)

    David Scott has written a bijective BWT transform, which brings all the advantages of bijectiveness to BWT based compressors. Among other things, making BWT more suitable for compression-before-encryption and also give (slightly) better compression.

  • Asymmetric Binary System (113 Comments)

    Jarek Duda’s “Asymmetric Binary System” promises to be an alternate to arithmetic coding, having all the advantages, but being much simpler. Matt has coded a PAQ based compressor using ABS for back-end encoding. Update: Andrew Polar has written an alternate implementation of ABS.

  • Precomp: More Compression for your Compressed Files (3 Comments)

    So many of today’s files are already compressed (using old, outdated algorithms) that newer algorithms don’t even get a chance to touch them. Christian Schneider’s Precomp comes to rescue by undoing the harm.

  • On2 Technologies is Hiring

    There aren’t too many companies working on cutting edge codecs, and of those few this one is hiring. Best of luck.

  • China’s AVS Specifications Available (2 Comments)

    Its old news that China has developed their own Advanced Video Standard to avoid high licensing fees. English translation of the standard is now available, along with the IPR policy. Finally something technical that you can get your hands on to feed your appetite.

Microsoft and Nokia to Deliver Video Compression Tutorials at GSPx 2005

Posted by Sachin Garg on 20th July 2005 | Permanent Link

Global Technology Conferences, Inc. today announced the Video Compression Tutorials for GSPx 2005. GSPx 2005, the pervasive signal processing event, will take place October 24 - 27 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California.

Dr. Sridhar Srinivasan, Development Leader of Windows Media Codecs Group for Microsoft, will lead the four-module tutorial on VC-1. Srinivasan has contributed to the architecture, design and implementation of the WMV9 codec and is involved in the standardization of the VC- bitstream format.

Dr. Marta Karczewicz, Senior Research Manager at Nokia Research Center, will lead a tutorial on the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC coder. The tutorial will provide attendees with the history of the MPEG-4 AVC standard and a comparison to previous standards. It will also cover new video coding layer elements, system integration, error resilience, MPEG-4 AVC payload and file formats, new standardization initiatives such as SVC (Scalable Video Coder) and more.

Karczewicz is actively participating in work on MPEG-4 AVC and SVC standards within Joint Video Team (JVT) of ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG. She has 13 patents in the area of Information Technology and has authored or co-authored over 20 publications, receiving EURASIP’s 1997 Award for the Best Paper of the Year.

GSPx is the comprehensive signal processing event with white paper presentations, technical workshops, tutorials, technology panels, exhibits and the New Product Forum. The conference targets design engineers and senior-level executives responsible for the development of embedded technologies and products. GSPx will cover the latest technology in video compression, wireless, multi-core/multiprocessors, synthetic aperture radar image exploitation and more.
