Optimized and Parallelized Processing Order for Improved Frequency Selective Signal Extrapolation (2207.00233v1)

Abstract: In the recent years, multi-core processor designs have found their way into many computing devices. To exploit the capabilities of such devices in the best possible way, signal processing algorithms have to be adapted to an operation in parallel tasks. In this contribution an optimized processing order is proposed for Frequency Selective Extrapolation, a powerful signal extrapolation algorithm. Using this optimized order, the extrapolation can be carried out in parallel. The algorithm scales very good, resulting in an acceleration of a factor of up to 7.7 for an eight core computer. Additionally, the optimized processing order aims at reducing the propagation of extrapolation errors over consecutive losses. Thus, in addition to the acceleration, a visually noticeable improvement in quality of up to 0.5 dB PSNR can be achieved.
