Multiring Differential Chain Coding for line drawings

A new type of chain codes, named multiring differential chain code (MRDCC), is introduced. The distortion and coding rate are investigated and compared with the standard chain code (SCC), multiring chain code (MRCC) and differential chain code (DCC). The results show that MRDCC offers the highest performance among these codes. The experimental...

CADISS: a multi-processor system for image compression/decompression on board scientific satellites

Project CADISS has produced an elegant breadboard of a system for compression (and -if required- decompression) of signals generated by imaging sensors on-board scientific satellites. The performance, specifications and physical characteristics of CADISS are the result of trade-offs on function (algorithms), technology, through-put speed and...
