Abstract: The present invention provides an image compression method and device. When a coding block is coded, first, second and third reconstructed reference pixel sample sets, of which position labels are not intersected, are searched to obtain one or more optimal fixed-width variable-length pixel sample matching strings according to a preset evaluation criterion. Each matching string is represented by a matching distance and a matching length. For a sample of which a match is not found, a pseudo matching sample is calculated from an adjacent sample. Matching string searching may be performed in a pixel component plane only, and may also be performed in a three-component individually intersected pixel space in a packed format. Optional quantization or transformation-quantization coding, predictive coding, differential coding and entropy coding are further executed on the matching distance, the matching length and a matching residual.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer-readable media, and a computerized system to compress words are provided. The computerized system includes a compression engine that compresses a list of words. The compression engine generates a symbol list from the list of words, decomposes the words using the symbol list and a cost function, and encodes the decomposed words. The words may be from a search index. The compression engine may be utilized to reduce the size of the search index and improve efficiency.

Abstract: A receive virtual concatenation processor (processor) is adapted to receive time-slot interleaved data carried over SONET/SDH frames. The processor first generates per time-slot data and subsequently generates per channel data. The processor supports virtual concatenation, contiguous concatenation as well as mixed concatenation in which some channels are contiguously concatenated and others are virtually concatenated. The processor supports virtual concatenation at both STS-1 and STS-3c granularities and with arbitrary differential delay among constituent time-slots. The processor supports contiguous concatenation with any multiple of STS-3c granularity. The processor is highly scalable to support multiple channels and different frame sizes such as STS-12, STS-48, STS-192, etc.

Abstract: An alignment logic together with an MFI extractor are adapted to compensate for differential delays. The MFI extractor extracts the MFI disposed in the path overhead of each constituent time-slot. The alignment logic uses the extracted MFI to align corresponding data words (i.e., data words that are transmitted during the same time period) at the receiving end of virtually concatenated channels and that occupy different time-slots of the same channel. To perform alignment, the alignment logic stores each data word in a RAM location that is defined by an associated MFI. The data words so stored are aligned when read sequentially from their stored locations. The synchronization logic in the alignment logic synchronizes all the constituent time-slots.

Abstract: A data format conversion method and apparatus are presented to convert time-slot interleaved SONET/SDH data to per time-slot data for virtual concatenation processing. The converter consists of an input buffer and a matrix transposer. The input buffer discards the overhead and fixed stuff bytes of each SPE that it receives, while the matrix transposer packs the N payload bytes into N-byte words with alignment to a start-of-frame indicator. Because each N-byte word is associated with a different time slot, the N-byte words form per time-slot data.
