NHW Image codec - improvement of precision
Hi again,
I have improved precision of my codec (on the encoder and decoder).I have
also improved the -h1 quality setting.-Source code and binaries at
http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/-.
I am still trying to improve precision of my codec, with keeping my
low-complexity (fast) approach.
I do not totally use the reference (and impressive) block prediction with
different modes + residual coding scheme,

NHW Project - lower quality settings
Hi David!
Many thanks for your very encouraging and kind feedback!!! (Hope you don't
mind that I made your post public on the Theora channel).
I try to be the more sincere as I can in my posts.Some people suggested me
to make demo pages to explain how the codec works step by step, and I
realize that it would be good, because certainly it will show that the NHW
codec is not that complex and

NHW Project - news with Xiph.org
Hello,
These last 2 months, I have talked again with Monty Montgomery about the
NHW Project and he told me that Xiph.org would like to encourage the NHW
Project development.That's just great!
I'll see what Monty will do on his side (and when he has time), but he also
told me that the NHW codec has merits but there must be an effort to
demonstrate them.
The advantages, merits of the NHW

NHW codec - progress 2
Hello,
Just a quick message to correct what I have said in my previous post.It
finally seems not that easy to code small wavelet coefficients to have a
good precision, and SPIHT is certainly a very good algorithm for that, -and
I know there are SPIHT experts that can make very good SPIHT-based
codecs-.I have chosen a new and different approach, the multistage residual
coding, so I will try to

NHW Image codec - 2 lower quality settings
Hello,
I have finally added 2 lower quality settings for the NHW codec: -l1 (-5Ko)
and -l2 (-10Ko).I use a quantization of 0.935 and 0.88 (kind of
quantization), and I decrease residual coding on the first order wavelet
image.
I have updated the demo page: http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ .
These 2 lower quality settings are still experimental.If you could find
time, would be interested in any

NHW Image codec - higher quality settings
Hello,
Just a very quick message to let you know that I have added a higher
quality setting (-h2, +10Ko) and I have added now residual coding on the
512x256 wavelet image for the higher settings.Precision is a little
better.-I also still apply the post-processing function on the 512x256
wavelet image for now.-
Here is the link for the binaries (as I can not link them in my blog for
now):

NHW Project - new -l8 "very high compression" setting
Hello,
For those interested, I have added a -l8 "very high compression" setting to
the NHW Project.
I have added an experimental processing to remove details and preserve
neatness.I have also now a fast estimation of entropy of wavelet
coefficients and I use it accordingly to the image complexity but it is a
very first version... With these new processings, the entropy coding

NHW Image codec
Hello,
Ok, and that's too many work to review a source code.In my codec, I have 3
compression schemes, I think 2 are not patented, but the third... I don't
know.For the rest, I think my codec is patent-free (I don't use
SPIHT,EZW,zerotree methods), even the wavelet transform is new and don't
use the lifting scheme nor the convolution product.
Else, if you found time to review the

NHW Project - some update
Hello,
I don't have advanced on the NHW Project this past month, but I have
definitely validated its characteristics and this new version.
The NHW Codec preserves or enhances image neatness and sharpness, which
translates that on good quality images the NHW Codec is globally better
than HEVC, and on degraded (with blur, artifacts) images it is worse than
HEVC because it lacks of precision. I

NHW Project development
Raphael,
Some 15 years ago I implemented limited functionality Theora in our cameras FPGA (it took me 6 month of hard labor), and then gave up - it is a very crowded space and it is difficult to compete with more advanced codecs. And for our other work we anyway need almost raw image data, so we are using JPEG-based JP4 format (https://community.elphel.com/jp4) that we originally developed for

NHW Project development
Raphael,
I do not believe it is possible to build a viable community around most hardware projects except super-universal based on very cheap/high-volume products like Pi or Arduino. We see the commercial benefits of Free Software/Open Hardware as it adds value to the hardware as users are ready to pay extra for the Freedom.

NHW Project development
Hi Andrey,
Thank you for your answer.Actually, NHW is very low-power so I think it
could be geared toward any hardware.But actually I don't have hardware
skills, so NHW is not a real hardware project for now maybe? I agree with
you that it is extremely difficult (for me) to build a community around
NHW, I'm certainly very bad/underskilled at it.Any help is welcome!
Cheers,
Raphael

Wavelet audio codec by Adapted Wave Tech.
Following a post on vqf.com forum, I found out that some company called
Adapted Wave Technology is ready to release its audio codec based on
wavelets. They say that this wavelet-based codec is superior to MDCT codecs
by 30-50%.
One sentence caught my attention: "Adapted Wave Technologies holds exclusive
patent rights for applying wavelet packets to audio applications." - sounds

NHW Project development
Hello,
I know there is no community around NHW, but I would have liked to know
what you would like to see improved in the NHW codec.I know its results are
not perfect for now compared to high-end AV1/VVC codecs for example, but
could be ok giving its extremely fast speed.-However on high quality
images, I notably like its good results because of its neatness.-
Regarding things to improve, there

NHW Project - high compression -l4 setting
Hello,
For those interested, I have added a -l4 high compression setting to the
NHW codec ( http://nhwcodec.blogspot.com/ ).This setting is very
experimental, I have boosted the sharpness for this one, but it can lack of
precision on low contrast areas.
This setting still maintains a good neatness and when it will be validated,
I will then make a new 0.1.4 version for the NHW Project.

NHW Project and wavelet codecs
Hello,
In my last post, I seemed to say that there were no directional wavelet
transforms that would give improvement to the NHW codec, but are
directional wavelets an active research field today? I have also seen some
recent patents on advanced and improved SPIHT, and I am a little surprised
that there is no "up-to-date" state-of-the-art wavelet codec.Rududu in
April 2008 was the last

NHW Project - fast discrete wavelet transform
Hello,
I forgot in my last reply that my DWT implementation can be speed up, for
example I'm doing for now:
for (;_X1<_E_;_X1++,_RES+=2) //dilatation
{
_RES[0]=_X1[0]<<3;
_RES[1]=(_X1[1]+_X1[0])<<2;
}
then
for (;_X2<_E_;_X2++,_RES+=2) //details
{
_RES[0]-=(_X2[1]+_X2[0])<<1;
_RES[1]+=6*_X2[1]-_X2[2]-_X2[0];
