Parametric Analysis and Synthesis of Sound Scenes for Perceptual Spatial Audio Reproduction
Spatial sound reproduction methods for recorded sound scenes are an active field of research, in parallel with the evolving vision-related or multi-modal technologies that aim to deliver a new generation of immersive multimedia content to…
RLGR Entropy Coder
We have developed an efficient entropy coder for integer value data. We refer to this compression algorithm as a Run-Length Golomb-Rice (RLGR) coder. The RLGR coder is very simple to implement, and uses backward adaptation…
JPEG XR
The still image compression format now known as JPEG XR has its roots at Microsoft Research. It started as the Progressive Transform Codec (PTC), which we designed back in 1999 as an alternative to JPEG 2000.…
