To alleviate the size and bandwidth requirement in JPEG2000 system, a new Embedded Compression(EC) algorithm with minor image quality drop is proposed. For both random accessibility and low latency, very simple and efficient hadamard transform based compression algorithm is devised. We reduced LL intermediate memory and code-block memory to about half size and achieved significant memory bandwidth reductions(about 52~73%) through proposed multi-mode algorithms, without requiring any modification in JPEG2000 standard algorithm.

With the recent development of hardware and software technology, interest in the development of wearable devices is increasing. In particular, wearable devices require algorithms suitable for low-power and low-capacity embedded devices. Among them, there is an increasing demand for a signal compression algorithm that reduces communication overhead, in order to increase the efficiency of storage and transmission of electrocardiogram (ECG) signals requiring long-time measurement. Because normal beats occupy most of the signal with similar shapes, a high rate of signal compression is possible if normal beats are represented by a template. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for determining the normal beat template using the template cluster and Pearson similarity. Also, the template is expressed effectively as a few vertices through linear approximation algorithm. In experiment of Datum 234 of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (MIT-BIH ADB) provided by Physionet, a compression ratio was 33.44:1, and an average distribution of root mean square error (RMSE) was 1.55%.

In Motion JPEG2000 encoding, huge bandwidth requirement of data memory access is the bottleneck in required system performance. For the alleviation of this bandwidth requirement, a new embedded compression(EC) algorithm with a little bit of image quality drop is devised. For both random accessibility and low latency, very simple and efficient entropy coding algorithm is proposed. We achieved significant memory bandwidth reductions (about 53${\sim}$81%) and reduced code-block memory to about half size through proposed multi-mode algorithms, without requiring any modification in JPEG2000 standard algorithm.

In this paper, a new prediction based embedded compression (EC) codec algorithm for the JPEG2000 encoder system is proposed to reduce excessive memory requirements. The EC technique can reduce the 50 % memory requirement for intermediate low-frequency coefficients during multiple discrete wavelet transform (DWT) stages compared with direct implementation of the DWT engine of this paper. The LOCO-I predictor and MAP are widely used in many lossless picture compression codec. The proposed EC algorithm use these predictor which are very simple but surprisingly effective. The predictive EC scheme adopts a forward adaptive quantization and fixed length coding to encoding the prediction error. Simulation results show that our LOCO-I and MAP based EC codecs present only PSNR degradation of 0.48 and 0.26 dB in average, respectively. The proposed algorithm improves the average PSNR by 1.39 dB compared to the previous work in [9].

In this paper, a low-complexity embedded compression (EC) Codec algorithm for the wavelet video coder is applied to reduce excessive external memory requirements. The EC algorithm is used to achieve a fixed compression ratio of 50 % under the near-lossless-compression constraint. The EC technique can reduce the 50 % memory requirement for intermediate low-frequency coefficients during multiple discrete wavelet transform stages compared with direct implementation of the wavelet video encoder of this paper. Furthermore, the EC scheme based on a forward adaptive quantization and fixed length coding can save bandwidth and size of buffer between DWT and SPIHT to 50 %. Simulation results show that our EC algorithm present only PSNR degradation of 0.179 and 0.162 dB in average when the target bit-rate of the video coder are 1 and 0.5 bpp, respectively.

The embedded system has less fast CPU and lower memory than PC(personal Computer) or Workstation system. Therefore embedded operating is system is designed to efficiently use the limited resource in the system. Virtual memory management or the embedded linux have a low efficiency when page fault is occurred to get a data from I/O device. Because a data is moving from the swap device to main memory. This paper suggests virtual memory compression algorithm for improving in virtual memory management and capacity of space. In this paper, we present a way to performance implement a virtual memory compression system that achieves significant improvement for the embedded system.

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new functionality in the informationized society. Specially, in the specific area of still image encoding in embedded system, a new standard, JPEG2000 that improve various problem of JPEG was developed. This paper proposed a method that reduce quantity of data delivered in EBCOT(Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation) process using SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) Algorithm to optimize selection of threshold from feature of wavelet transform coefficients and to remove sign bit in LL area for the increment of compression efficiency on JPEG2000. The experimental results showed the proposed algorithm achieves more improved bit rate in embedded system.

In this paper, we implement a lossless compression technique for time-series data generated by IoT (Internet of Things) devices to reduce the disk spaces. The proposed compression technique reduces the size of the encoded data by selectively applying CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) or Delta encoding depending on the situation in the Forecasting algorithm that performs prediction on time series data. In addition, the proposed technique sequentially performs zigzag encoding, splitting, and bit packing to increase the compression ratio. We showed that the proposed compression method has a compression ratio of up to 1.60 for the original data.

In this paper, the lossy image compression algorithm using the quad tree and the bandlets is proposed. The proposed algorithm transforms input images by the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and represents the geometrical structures of high frequency bands using the bandlets with a 8 block- size. In addition, the proposed algorithm searches the position information of the significant coefficients by using the quad tree algorithm and computes the magnitude and the sign information of the significant coefficients by using the Embedded Image Coding using Zerotrees of Wavelet Coefficients (EZW) algorithm. The compression result by using the quad tree algorithm improves the PSNR performance of high frequency images up to 1 dB, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. The PSNR performance by using DWT and bandlets improves up to 7.5dB, compared to that by using only DWT.

The adequate compression algorithm is essential to achieve high quality embedded TTS system. in this paper, we Propose waveform interpolation coder for TTS corpus compression after many speech coder investigation. Unlike speech coders in communication system, compression rate and anality are more important factors in TTS DB compression than other performance criteria. Thus we select waveform interpolation algorithm because it provides good speech quality under high compression rate at the cost of complexity. The implemented coder has bit rate 6kbps with quality degradation 0.47. The performance indicates that the waveform interpolation is adequate for TTS DB compression with some further study.
