The present study investigates the sensitivity of computational models of visual attention when subjected to visual degradations. One hundred and twenty natural color pictures were degraded using 6 filtering operations. By using different settings, five state-of-the-art models are used to compute 11400 saliency maps. The comparison of these maps to human saliency maps indicates that the tested models are robust to most of the visual degradations they were subjected to. These findings have implications on saliency-based applications, such as quality assessment and coding. A last point concerns the high repeatability of saliency models that might be used in a context of image retrieval.

Sparsity has shown promising results in various image restoration applications. Recent advances have suggested that structured or group sparsity often leads to more powerful results in compression artifact reduction studies. In this paper, we introduce nonlocal multi-dimension sparsity in an adaptive space-transform domain, which performs multi-scale wavelet transform on DCT coefficients of similar patches. The new transform efficiently reduces image redundancies between inner block and inter block simultaneously, thus it can substantially achieve sparse representation for images. Furthermore, a band-based filter is proposed to reduce compression artifacts by shrinking transform coefficients adaptively. Because of the overlapped processing, adaptive aggregation is used to combine different estimates for each block. The proposed algorithm achieves improvement over some methods in terms of both objective and subjective qualities.

Video adaption is one of the main solutions to offer access to the large array of existing multimedia contents and the variety of terminals and networks. This adaptation can be achieved efficiently using transcoding techniques. The implementation of the various adaptation possibilities and techniques in embedded systems such as home gateway requires flexible and efficient architectures. This paper presents a hardware reconfigurable architecture for the real time adaptation of video contents for different terminals and available bandwidth. This architecture is designed to adapt a compressed stream in advanced video coding standard (H264/AVC) and/or MPEG-2. A system level model of reconfigurable transcoder is developed for IP integration and architectural exploration by taking into account dynamic and partial reconfiguration. The developed simulation model of dynamic partial reconfiguration allowed the early estimation of performances and the design of the suitable solution for the considered transcoding scenarios.

In this paper, the quality evaluation of the responses to the Call for Proposals (CfP) of JPEG Pleno Point Cloud coding is presented. Three responses to the CfP were evaluated together with the state of the art anchor codecs G-PCC and VPCC from MPEG. The JPEG committee selected a set of eight point clouds that were encoded at different pre-established bitrates. For the subjective evaluation of the responses to the CfP, a set of video sequences were created where the reference and distorted decoded point clouds were rotated about their axes side by side. Furthermore, the objective quality metrics PCQM, PSNR D1, PSNR D2, PSNR Y and PSNR YUV were computed, and compared with the subjective evaluation results. This study revealed that the deep learning solutions outperformed G-PCC but were still below the performance of V-PCC regarding color representation. PCQM showed the best performance in predicting the compression quality.

Loss of coded data can affect a JPEG decoded image to a large extent, making concealment of errors caused by data loss an important issue. Reconstruction of JPEG coded images in an error-prone channel environment is investigated in this paper. First a method for estimating the missing DC coefficients of a JPEG coded image which is required for decoding the compressed image, is suggested and evaluated. As the effects of errors in estimating the missing DC value will appear as stripes across the image, a post-processing technique for removing such stripes is then developed. Finally the missing data is reconstructed by exploiting the correlation between adjacent blocks. A novel reconstruction technique which has a good performance in reconstruction of edges is proposed. A key contribution of our work is that, unlike in previously published reconstruction algorithms, differential encoding of the DC coefficients is assumed. Simulation results indicate that the performance of our algorithm is very good, even when many packets are lost during transmission of the JPEG coded image.

In this paper, a new image compression scheme by introducing visual patterns to interpolative vector quantization (IVQ) is proposed. The goal is to introduce visual patterns on designing the codebook, where only removed details that contain visual patterns and their original counterparts as pairs are trained. In the proposed scheme first input images are down-sampled by ideal filter. Then, the down sampled images are compressed lossly by JPEG and transmitted to the decoder. In the decoder side, decoded images are first up-sampled to the original resolution. The codebook is designed using LBG algorithm. One of main contributions in this paper is the Experimental results show: (a) visual pattern blocks are easy to form clusters than original blocks; (b) the proposed scheme achieves much better performance over JPEG in terms of visual quality and PSNR.

A new perceptual encryption scheme with an efficient key-management mechanism for the Motion JPEG 2000 based ETC system is proposed in this paper. An ETC system is known as a system that makes image/video communication secure and efficient by using perceptual encryption and image/video compression. Unlike conventional ETC systems, the perceptually encrypted images by the proposed scheme can be efficiently compressed by the Motion JPEG 2000. Moreover, an efficient mechanism to manage a lot of secret keys for video sequences is provided to avoid complex key-management. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed scheme achieved both acceptable compression performance and enough security for secure image/video communication while remaining compatible with the Motion JPEG 2000 standard.

We present a new preprocessing technique for two-dimensional compression of surface electromyographic (S-EMG) signals, based on correlation sorting. We show that the JPEG2000 coding system (originally designed for compression of still images) and the H.264/AVC encoder (video compression algorithm operating in intraframe mode) can be used for compression of S-EMG signals. We compare the performance of these two off-the-shelf image compression algorithms for S-EMG compression, with and without the proposed preprocessing step. Compression of both isotonic and isometric contraction S-EMG signals is evaluated. The proposed methods were compared with other S-EMG compression algorithms from the literature.

Learning-based image compression techniques combined with current transformer models and with checker-board context models have shown the excellent Rate-Distortion performance. However, the mixed structure still has room for optimization in terms of redundancy information and decoding efficiency, while the checkerboard context model has redundancy in capturing correlations between latent represen-tations. To solve these problems, we propose an innovative framework that combines a mixed transformer-CNN structure with a checkerboard context model. Specifically, we introduce a “Checkerboard Channel-wise Entropy Module” to improve coding efficiency of utilizing contexts through a two-channel decoding method with checkerboard contexts. Then, we propose the “In-slice Odd-even Context”, which improves the handling of spatial redundancy information by adding additional spatial contexts by introducing a checkerboard context model to the original mixed structure with channel contexts and global con-texts. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our pro-posed method outperforms JPEG, BPG and previous learned image compression on the Kodak dataset.
