Near Best Tree Approximation

Tree approximation is a form of nonlinear wavelet approximation that appears naturally in applications such as image compression and entropy encoding. The distinction between tree approximation and the more familiar n-term wavelet approximation is that the wavelets appearing in the approximant are required to align themselves in a certain connected tree structure. This makes their positions easy to encode. Previous work [4,6] has established upper bounds for the error of tree approximation for certain (Besov) classes of functions. This paper, in contrast, studies tree approximation of individual functions with the aim of characterizing those functions with a prescribed approximation error. We accomplish this in the case that the approximation error is measured in L ₂, or in the case p2, in the Besov spaces B _p ⁰(L _p ), which are close to (but not the same as) L _p . Our characterization of functions with a prescribed approximation order in these cases is given in terms of a certain maximal function applied to the wavelet coefficients.     

A hierarchical design methodology for full-search block matching motion estimation

Many useful DSP algorithms have high dimensions and complex logic. Consequently, an efficient implementation of these algorithms on parallel processor arrays must involve a structured design methodology. Full-search block-matching motion estimation is one of those algorithms that can be developed using parallel processor arrays. In this paper, we present a hierarchical design methodology for the full-search block matching motion estimation. Our proposed methodology reduces the complexity of the algorithm into simpler steps and then explores the different possible design options at each step. Input data timing restrictions are taken into consideration as well as buffering requirements. A designer is able to modify system performance by selecting some of the algorithm variables for pipelining or broadcasting. Our proposed design strategy also allows the designer to study time and hardware complexities of computations at each level of the hierarchy. The resultant architecture allows easy modifications to the organization of data buffers and processing elements-their number, datapath pipelining, and complexity-to produce a system whose performance matches the video data sample rate requirements.

Subsurface radar signal deconvolution

We present two methods of signal deconvolution for systems whose impulse response (wavelet function) can be explicitly determined, and where the goal is to locate short impulses in the presence of strong, reverberation-like interferences.The first method, which we call algebraic deconvolution, differs from other known techniques in two ways: first of all, explicit use of the wavelet function provides more powerful a priori knowledge than the autocorrelation or the power spectrum. Secondly, this method permits to flexibly trade off noise versus resolution.In the second method presented here, we use an analytical model (synthetic wavelet) of the system impulse response to determine an inverse filter.These methods have been developed for video pulse radar signals, and encouraging early results have been obtained.     

Design of a Thin Film Infrared Barcode on a Flexible Substrate

We report the design, fabrication and characterization of an infrared barcode. This barcode is composed of a bilayer of titanium and amorphous silicon on a flexible Kapton substrate. Information encoded in the barcode shows high contrast when viewed with an infrared imaging system in the 8 to 12 m spectral region. The barcode information is concealed under visible viewing conditions, i.e., the barcode appears as an untreated, uniform metal sheet to a detector of visible radiation (400 to 700nm).
