Light field image quality assessment (LF-IQA) plays a significant role due to its guidance to Light Field (LF) contents acquisition, processing and application. The LF can be represented as 4-D signal, and its quality depends on both angular consistency and spatial quality. However, few existing LF-IQA methods concentrate on effects caused by angular inconsistency. Especially, no-reference methods lack effective utilization of 2D angular information. In this paper, we focus on measuring the 2-D angular consistency for LF-IQA. The Micro-Lens Image (MLI) refers to the angular domain of the LF image, which can simultaneously record the angular information in both horizontal and vertical directions. Since the MLI contains 2D angular information, we propose a No-Reference Light Field image Quality assessment model based on MLI (LF-QMLI). Specifically, we first utilize Global Entropy Distribution (GED) and Uniform Local Binary Pattern descriptor (ULBP) to extract features from the MLI, and then pool them together to measure angular consistency. In addition, the information entropy of SubAperture Image (SAI) is adopted to measure spatial quality. Extensive experimental results show that LF-QMLI achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

Objective quality assessment of stereoscopic panoramic images becomes a challenging problem owing to the rapid growth of 360-degree contents. Different from traditional 2D image quality assessment (IQA), more complex aspects are involved in 3D omnidirectional IQA, especially unlimited field of view (FoV) and extra depth perception, which brings difficulty to evaluate the quality of experience (QoE) of 3D omnidirectional images. In this paper, we propose a multi-viewport based full-reference stereo 360 IQA model. Due to the freely changeable viewports when browsing in the head-mounted display, our proposed approach processes the image inside FoV rather than the projected one such as equirectangular projection (ERP). In addition, since overall QoE depends on both image quality and depth perception, we utilize the features estimated by the difference map between left and right views which can reflect disparity. The depth perception features along with binocular image qualities are employed to further predict the overall QoE of 3D 360 images. The experimental results on our public Stereoscopic OmnidirectionaL Image quality assessment Database (SOLID) show that the proposed method achieves a significant improvement over some well-known IQA metrics and can accurately reflect the overall QoE of perceived images.

Lossy compression of image and video yields visually annoying artifacts including blocking, blurring, ringing, etc., especially at low bit rates. In-loop filtering techniques can reduce these artifacts, improve quality, and achieve coding gain accordingly. In this paper, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN) based in-loop filter for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). First, we design a new CNN structure that is composed of multiple Variable-filter-size Residue-learning blocks, namely VRCNN-ext, for artifact reduction. VRCNN-ext is trained by natural images as well as their compressed versions at different quality levels. Second, we investigate a new in-loop filter based on the trained VRCNN-ext models. Specifically, we observed that using VRCNN-ext directly on the inter pictures is not effective. To solve this problem, we further train a classifier to decide whether to use VRCNN-ext for each coding unit (CU). The classifier makes decision based on the compressed information, thus avoiding the overhead bits to control the on/off of the CNN-based filter at the CU level. Experimental results show that our scheme achieves significant bits saving than the HEVC anchor, leading to on average 9.2%, 9.6% and 7.4% BD-rate reduction on the HEVC test sequences, under all-intra, low-delay B and random-access configurations, respectively.

In the era of cloud computing, there are many correlated images in the cloud, joint compression of these images may provide much higher compression ratio than individual coding. Model-based coding is an appealing approach to image coding in the cloud, as it removes knowledge redundancy among images that share the same model. In this paper, we make an attempt to model-based image coding for landmark images, where our model consists of three-dimensional (3-D) point-cloud plus image patches to describe the geometry and surface color of the landmark respectively. The camera parameters of an input image are estimated based on the 3-D point-cloud and the patches in the model, and then prediction image is generated by selecting, warping, and stitching image patches as well as illuminance compensation, the residue between original and prediction images is compressed by P-frame coding in HEVC encoder. We perform experiments on an Internet photo collection to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Preliminary results display the superior performance of our scheme that achieves as high as 39.9% bits saving compared to HEVC intra on a single image. The proposed scheme indicates a promising approach to image coding in the cloud and is worthy of in-depth investigation.

We propose an end-to-end learned video compression scheme for low-latency scenarios. Previous methods are limited in using the previous one frame as reference. Our method introduces the usage of the previous multiple frames as references. In our scheme, the motion vector (MV) field is calculated between the current frame and the previous one. With multiple reference frames and associated multiple MV fields, our designed network can generate more accurate prediction of the current frame, yielding less residual. Multiple reference frames also help generate MV prediction, which reduces the coding cost of MV field. We use two deep auto-encoders to compress the residual and the MV, respectively. To compensate for the compression error of the auto-encoders, we further design a MV refinement network and a residual refinement network, taking use of the multiple reference frames as well. All the modules in our scheme are jointly optimized through a single rate-distortion loss function. We use a step-by-step training strategy to optimize the entire scheme. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing learned video compression methods for low-latency mode. Our method also performs better than H.265 in both PSNR and MS-SSIM. Our code and models are publicly available.

Image compression had been extensively studied for reducing coding rate yet producing acceptable visual quality. However, there are many application scenarios where the compressed images are used for automatic recognition rather than human viewing, thus the visual quality is no longer critical for compression. SIFT features have demonstrated their utility in many recognition scenarios and SIFT-preserving compression is developed recently. In this paper, we firstly study the SIFT-preserving compression of license plate images for recognition accuracy rather than visual quality. According to extracted SIFT features, each image is divided into SIFT coding-units and non-SIFT coding-units. Each coding-unit is assigned with a different quality parameter when using JPEG for compression. We compare our proposed scheme with the standard JPEG that uses a unified quality parameter. Experimental results with manually tuned parameters show that on average 14% bit-rate can be saved by our scheme, without any loss of recognition accuracy.

Many recent state-of-the-art image retrieval approaches are based on Bag-of-Visual-Words model and represent an image with a set of visual words by quantizing local SIFT（scale invariant feature transform） features. Feature quantization reduces the discriminative power of local features and unavoidably causes many false local matches between images, which degrades the retrieval accuracy. To filter those false matches, geometric context among visual words has been popularly explored for the verification of geometric consistency. However, existing studies with global or local geometric verification are either computationally expensive or achieve limited accuracy. To address this issue, in this paper, we focus on partialduplicate Web image retrieval, and propose a scheme to encode the spatial context for visual matching verification. An efficient affine enhancement scheme is proposed to refine the verification results. Experiments on partial-duplicate Web image search, using a database of one million images, demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed *** on a 10-million image database further reveals the scalability of our approach.

High efficient facial image compression is broadly required and challenging for surveillance and security scenarios, while either traditional general image codecs or special facial image compression schemes only heuristically refine codec separately according to face verification accuracy metric. We propose an End-to-End Facial Image Compression (E2EFIC) framework with a novel variable block size Regionally Adaptive Pooling (RAP) module whose parameters can be automatically optimized according to gradient feedback from an integrated semantic distortion metrics, including a successful exploration to apply Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) as metric directly in image compression scheme. The experimental results verify the framework's efficiency by demonstrating performance improvement of 71.41%, 48.28% and 52.67% bitrate saving separately over JPEG2000, WebP and neural network-based codecs under the same face verification accuracy distortion metric. We also evaluate E2EFIC's superior performance gain compared with latest specific facial image codecs.

Video stitching remains a challenging problem in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel edge-guided method to stitch multiple videos that have small overlapped regions. Our algorithm consists of three steps: (1) spherical projection of the input video frames based on camera calibration, (2) edge detection and edge-guided feature matching for video registration, and (3) seam optimization to eliminate distortions and ghosts in the composited panoramic videos. The experimental results and user studies demonstrate that our method is robust to videos that have small overlapped regions and produces more visually pleasing panoramic videos than state-of-the-art techniques.
