Distributed Coding for Compression and Security
Anthony Vetro
Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs
Dibner Auditorium
Thursday 2-23-2006 11:00 -12:00
There will be refreshment prepared by ECE dept
Abstract:
Distributed source coding refers to separate encoding of correlated sources with joint decoding. While the information-theoretic bounds were first established by Slepian and Wolf in the 1970's, research on practical approaches to distributed coding have only appeared in the past few years. This recent interest has been motivated by emerging applications such as sensor networking, surveillance and mobile communications. In the first part of this talk, we review the foundations of distributed source coding. We then discuss how these principles are applied to low-complexity video compression and secure storage of biometric data.
Bio:
Anthony Vetro has been with Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs for the past 10 years and is currently a Senior Team Leader with responsibility for research and development in the digital video area. He received his BS, MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of NYU, and his primary research interests are related to the coding and transport of multimedia content. He has published more than 100 papers and holds 24 U.S. patents, and has been an active member of the MPEG standardization committee for several years. He is also active in various IEEE conferences, technical committees and editorial boards.
