Discrete wavelet transformIn numerical analysis and functional analysis, a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is any wavelet transform for which the wavelets are discretely sampled. As with other wavelet transforms, a key advantage it has over Fourier transforms is temporal resolution: it captures both frequency and location information (location in time). Haar wavelet The first DWT was invented by Hungarian mathematician Alfréd Haar. For an input represented by a list of numbers, the Haar wavelet transform may be considered to pair up input values, storing the difference and passing the sum.
Object modelIn computing, object model has two related but distinct meanings: The properties of objects in general in a specific computer programming language, technology, notation or methodology that uses them. Examples are the object models of Java, the Component Object Model (COM), or Object-Modeling Technique (OMT). Such object models are usually defined using concepts such as class, generic function, message, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation.
Disque Blu-rayLe disque Blu-ray, ou Blu-ray Disc en anglais, avec comme abréviation officielle BD, est un format de disque numérique breveté et commercialisé à partir de 2006 par Sony permettant de stocker et restituer des vidéogrammes en haute définition. Sa dénomination provient du type de rayon laser qu’il exploite, de couleur spectrale proche du bleu-violet à la différence du DVD et du CD avec leur laser rouge. Il existe des lecteurs et des enregistreurs-lecteurs Blu-ray dits « de salon » ainsi que des lecteurs et graveurs Blu-ray destinés à équiper les ordinateurs.
Vidéo à la demandeUne plateforme numérique de vidéo à la demande (VAD), souvent abrégée en VOD ou VoD (de l’anglais « video on demand »), est une technique de diffusion de contenus vidéo numériques "qui permet aux utilisateur de consommer des vidéos, films, documentaires... au moment où ils le désirent. Cette technique a fait évoluer considérablement le rapport entre téléspectateurs et contenus vidéo, puisqu'il n'est plus nécessaire d'attendre qu'un contenu soit diffusé à la télévision, pour y avoir accès.
Adaptive bitrate streamingAdaptive bitrate streaming is a technique used in streaming multimedia over computer networks. While in the past most video or audio streaming technologies utilized streaming protocols such as RTP with RTSP, today's adaptive streaming technologies are based almost exclusively on HTTP, and are designed to work efficiently over large distributed HTTP networks. Adaptive bitrate streaming works by detecting a user's bandwidth and CPU capacity in real time, adjusting the quality of the media stream accordingly.
List of streaming media servicesAn over-the-top media service is a streaming media service offered directly to viewers via the Internet. OTT bypasses cable, broadcast, and satellite television platforms, the companies that traditionally act as a controller or distributors of such content. Most of these services are owned by a major film studio. Some streaming services started as an add-on to Blu-ray offerings, which are supplements to the programs watched. Streaming is an alternative to file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains the entire file(s) for the content before watching or listening to it.
Streaming televisionStreaming television is the digital distribution of television content, such as television shows and films, as streaming media delivered over the Internet. Streaming television stands in contrast to dedicated terrestrial television delivered by over-the-air aerial systems, cable television, and/or satellite television systems.
Music streaming serviceA music streaming service is a type of streaming media service that focuses primarily on music, and sometimes other forms of digital audio content such as podcasts. These services are usually subscription-based services allowing users to stream digital copyright restricted songs on-demand from a centralized library provided by the service. Some services may offer free tiers with limitations, such as advertising and limits on use.
Compression artifactA compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including , audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired or transmitted (streamed) within the available bandwidth (known as the data rate or bit rate). If the compressor cannot store enough data in the compressed version, the result is a loss of quality, or introduction of artifacts.
Image resolutionImage resolution is the level of detail an holds. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to physical sizes (e.g. lines per mm, lines per inch), to the overall size of a picture (lines per picture height, also known simply as lines, TV lines, or TVL), or to angular subtense.
Continuous wavelet transformIn mathematics, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a formal (i.e., non-numerical) tool that provides an overcomplete representation of a signal by letting the translation and scale parameter of the wavelets vary continuously. The continuous wavelet transform of a function at a scale (a>0) and translational value is expressed by the following integral where is a continuous function in both the time domain and the frequency domain called the mother wavelet and the overline represents operation of complex conjugate.
Théorie des codesEn théorie de l'information, la théorie des codes traite des codes et de leurs propriétés et de leurs aptitudes à servir sur différents canaux de communication. On distingue deux modèles de communication : avec et sans bruit. Sans bruit, le codage de source suffit à la communication. Avec bruit, la communication est possible avec les codes correcteurs. En définissant l'information de façon mathématique, l'étape fondatrice de la théorie des codes a été franchie par Claude Shannon.
