适于PCT编码的低内存通用树状多带滤波器组实现

基于常用的多带滤波器组的紧支撑性及FIFO(First-in First-out)缓存技术提出了一种具有低内存需求的通用树状多带滤波器组(Tree-structured Filter Bank,TSrS)的实现方法SBFB.该方法具有两大特点:(1)生成与全局变换法相同的子带系数,但是内存需求大大减小且仅与图像宽度及采用的TSFB相关;(2)在FIFO缓存中直接生成父子树(Parent-children Tree,PCT).基于PCT的编码器可直接对位于缓存中的PCT进行编码,而无须在SBFB与编码器之间引入中间缓存.通过分析TSFB的各分解层中的数据流,给出了样本点与子带系数之间的时序关系,并且使用该关系从数学上严格证明了SBFB的正确性.     

Remembering and forgetting Mirambo: Histories of war in modern Africa

ABSTRACT

While the study of organised violence is considered essential to understanding the history of the West, and accordingly imbued with various layers of meaning and remembrance, war is widely regarded as inimical to the modern nation in Africa and stable development more broadly. Using examples drawn from primarily from East Africa, this paper considers the ways in which warfare in the deeper (‘precolonial’) past has been framed and envisioned in recent decades, in particular by governments whose own roots lie in revolutionary armed struggle and who began life as guerrilla movements. While in some cases particular elements of the deeper past were indeed mobilised in pursuit of contemporary political goals, in many other scenarios histories of precolonial violence were beheld as problematic and unworthy of remembrance. This paper highlights the paradox and ambiguity which has attended the memory of key aspects of Africa’s deeper past.
