Transceiver and method for undersea communication

The transceiver for undersea communication includes both a receiver and a transmitter. The transmitter includes a transmitter digital signal processor for converting a transmitted communication signal into a modulated transmission signal. The transmitter digital signal processor applies a modulation scheme to the transmitted communication signal during its conversion into the modulated transmission signal. The transmitter converts the modulated transmission signal into modulated electrical pulses, which are applied to electrodes to produce a modulated electric field. The receiver includes a receiving antenna formed from samarium nickelate (SmNiO.sub.3). Samarium nickelate (SNO) is known to have measurable changes in resistance responsive to changes in applied sub-volt electric potentials when the samarium nickelate is immersed in salt water, such as in an undersea environment. The electrical resistance of the receiving antenna is measured to generate a resistance variation signal, which is converted by a receiver digital signal processor into a received communication signal.

Video coding techniques for multi-view video

Techniques are disclosed for coding and decoding video captured as cube map images. According to these techniques, padded reference images are generated for use during predicting input data. A reference image is stored in a cube map format. A padded reference image is generated from the reference image in which image data of a first view contained in reference image is replicated and placed adjacent to a second view contained in the cube map image. When coding a pixel block of an input image, a prediction search may be performed between the input pixel block and content of the padded reference image. When the prediction search identifies a match, the pixel block may be coded with respect to matching data from the padded reference image. Presence of replicated data in the padded reference image is expected to increase the likelihood that adequate prediction matches will be identified for input pixel block data, which will increase overall efficiency of the video coding.
