[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years, with the growing popularity of inter-networking and digital video, there arises a trend of delivering television services using the Internet Protocol, (a...
The interface between the stellar wind and interstellar medium around R Cassiopeiae revealed by far-infrared imaging
(arXiv, 2009)
The circumstellar dust shells of intermediate initial-mass (about 1 to 8 solar masses) evolved stars are generated by copious mass loss during the asymptotic giant branch phase. The density structure of their circumstellar ...
Embedded system design and power-rate-distortion optimization for video encoding under energy constraints
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
videos with non-stationary statistics, using the proposed P-R-D optimization technology, the encoder energy consumption can be significantly reduced. This has many important applications in energy-efficient portable video communication system design....
Efficient H.264 video coding with a working memory of objects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Efficient spatiotemporal prediction to remove the source redundancy is critical in video coding. The newest international standard H.264 video coding introduces several advanced features, such as multiple-frame motion ...
