We propose a new RLL(run length limited) (2,7) PP(parity preserving) code with 4 RMTR(repeated minimum transition run) for optical recording. The proposed code has better characteristics in terms of density ratio, RMTR, DC(direct current) component suppression, BER(bit error rate) and system complexity than (2,1O) code that currently applied in storage systems and (1,7) PP code that highly recommended as the next generation optical recording system. Some characteristics of the code are described with several simulations. And the proposed code's superiorites in performance is illustrated as compared with the other codes.

In this work, we evaluated the performance of soft iterative decoder with soft block decoder in optical storage system. Because optical storage system requires run- length limited code in general, adaptation of the soft decoders such as turbo code or LDPC(low density parity check code) is difficult without soft block decoders. The performance of the overall optical detection system is evaluated and the simplified channel detection is also proposed.

We propose soft user data input on LDPC codes with parity encoded by the (1, 7) run length limited (RLL) code for perpendicular magnetic recording channel. The user data are encoded by maximum transition run (MTR) (3;11) code. In order to minimize the loss of code rate, the (1, 7) RLL code only encode the parity of LDPC. Also, to increase performance, we propose only user data part applied soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The performance using the SOVA showed good performance lower than 26 dB. In contrast, it showed worse performance high than 26 dB. This is because of incorrect soft information by high jitter noise and two different input types for LDPC decoder.

A new multitrack RLL codes with immunity to intertrack interference (ITI) is proposed. This code takes aim at a high density storage channels by reducing the track width and/or guard bands between tracks since it prevents transition in neighboring tracks at the same time epoch. The capacities of the codes are found for each maximum and minimum constraint pair.

When we apply the LDPC code for high density optical storage channel, it is necessary to make an algorithm that the modulation code decoder must feed the LDPC decoder soft-valued information because LDPC decoder exploits soft values using the soft input. Therefore, we propose the soft-input soft-output run-length limited 17PP decoding algorithm and compare performance of LDPC codes. Consequently, we found that the proposed soft-input soft-output decoding algorithm using 17PP is 0.8dB better than the soft-input soft-output decoding algorithm using (1, 7) RLL.

Partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detection using the Viterbi algorithm involves the calculation of likelihood metrics that determine the most likely sequence of decoded data. In general, it is assumed that branches at each node in the trellis diagram have same probabilities. If modulation code with minimum and maximum run-length constraints is used, the occurrence ratio (Ro) of each particular pattern is different, and therefore the assumption is not true. We present a calculation scheme of the likelihood metrics for the PRML detection using the occurrence ratio. In simulation, we have tested the two (1,7) run-length-limited codes and calculated the occurrence ratios as the orders of PR targets are changed. We can identify that the PRML detections using the occurrence ratio provide more than about 0.5dB gain compared to conventional PRML detections at 10/sup -5/ BER in high-density magnetic recording and optical recording channels.

Much recent work has been done in the two related areas of source coding for data compression, and channel coding for data storage, respectively. We propose two (0, k) run-lengh limited(RLL) data compression codes for the storage that combine source and channel coding. It was shown that the propsoed codes approach the maximum code rate of (0, k) code as k increase. Thus, the overall code rate of storage system can be increased by using the combined source/channel coding as compared to the conventional 8/9 code which is popular in hard drive systems Functhermore, one can also reduce the complexity of modulation coding procedure by using already RLL constrained data.

Visible Light Communication is one of the promising technologies for wireless communication due to the possibility to use existing LED lightening infrastructure to transmit data. LED has the ability to turn on and off very fast enough that our human eyes can't recognize so it can be used to transmit data via visible light along with illumination. But it faces flicker problem due to the brightness discrepancies between '1' and '0' bit patterns inside a data frame. Various run length limited (RLL) coding scheme like Manchester code, 4B6B, 8B10B or VPPM can be used to solve flickering problem. So we propose pseudo Manchester codding which can transmit data without modifying LED modulator and demodulator circuit as well as solve flickering problem.

Digital video compression technique has played an important role that enables efficient transmission and storage of multimedia data where bandwidth and storage space are limited. The new video coding standard, H.264/AVC, developed by Joint Video Team(JVT) significantly outperforms previous standards in compression performance. Especially, variable length code(VLC) plays a crucial pun in video and image compression applications. H.264/AVC standard adopted Context-based Adaptive Variable Length Coding(CAVLC) as the entropy coding method. CAVLC of H.264/AVC requires a large number of the memory accesses. This is a serious problem for applications such as DMB and video phone service because of the considerable amount of power that is consumed in accessing the memory. In order to overcome this problem in this paper, we propose a variable length technique that implements memory-free coeff_token, level, and run_before decoding based on arithmetic operations and using only 70% of the required memory at total_zero variable length decoding.

The influence of acquisition environment on music score images captured by a camera has not yet been seriously examined. All existing Optical Music Recognition (OMR) systems attempt to recognize music score images captured by a scanner under ideal conditions. Therefore, when such systems process images under the influence of distortion, different viewpoints or suboptimal illumination effects, the performance, in terms of recognition accuracy and processing time, is unacceptable for deployment in practice. In this paper, a novel, lightweight but effective approach for dealing with the issues caused by camera based music scores is proposed. Based on the staff line information, musical rules, run length code, and projection, all regions of interest are determined. Templates created from inverse filter are then used to recognize the music symbols. Therefore, all fragmentation and deformation problems, as well as missed recognition, can be overcome using the developed method. The system was evaluated on a dataset consisting of real images captured by a smartphone. The achieved recognition rate and processing time were relatively competitive with state of the art works. In addition, the system was designed to be lightweight compared with the other approaches, which mostly adopted machine learning algorithms, to allow further deployment on portable devices with limited computing resources.
