Performance evaluation and optimization of embedded image sources over noisy channels
Minyi Zhao, William A. Pearlman, Ali N. Akansu · IEEE Signal Processing Letters · 2002
We investigate and prove the relationships among several commonly used and new performance metrics for embedded image bit streams transmitted over noisy channels. The average of the first error-free run length (FEFRL) is proposed as a simpler performance metric. On binary symmetric channels (BSC), the average FEFRL is obtained in closed form, which greatly simplifies performance optimization. Simulation results justify the merit of the proposed technique.
