With the needs of quality assessment for massive GF-3 polarimetric data, a method based on common distribution targets has been proposed by Sha Jiang. However, it needs manually selection of those woodlands, and cannot be performed automatically. In this paper, an automated GF-3 full-polarization SAR data quality assessment method is conducted using a classic Convolution Neural Network (VGG-16). The network is pre-trained by Radarsat-2 PolSAR data and then trained by selected typical GF-3 scenes. It is supposed to learn the features of the targets, which satisfies the azimuthal symmetry and backscatter reciprocity and fulfills the quality assessment work. Several typical GF-3 strips data are used to test the method. Experiments show that the network can predict the plots of targets from a new scene under the interference of polarimetric distortion and noise. And, the quality assessment results by the network are consistent with the manual assessment results, which shows the effectiveness of the method.

Existing blind image quality assessment (BIQA) methods are mostly designed in a disposable way and cannot evolve with unseen distortions adaptively, which greatly limits the deployment and application of BIQA models in real-world scenarios. To address this problem, we propose a novel Lifelong blind Image Quality Assessment (LIQA) approach, targeting to achieve the lifelong learning of BIQA. Without accessing to previous training data, our proposed LIQA can not only learn new distortions, but also mitigate the catastrophic forgetting of seen distortions. Specifically, we adopt the Split-and-Merge distillation strategy to train a single-head network that makes task-agnostic predictions. In the split stage, we first employ a distortion-specific generator to obtain the pseudo features of each seen distortion. Then, we use an auxiliary multi-head regression network to generate the predicted quality of each seen distortion. In the merge stage, we replay the pseudo features paired with pseudo labels to distill the knowledge of multiple heads, which can build the final regressed single head. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed LIQA method can handle the continuous shifts of different distortion types and even datasets. More importantly, our LIQA model can achieve stable performance even if the task sequence is long. Copyright © 2021, The Authors. All rights reserved.

In this article, we present a novel non-local video denoising scheme using low-rank representation and total variation regularization. The proposed scheme attempts to make full use of the intrinsic properties that the grouping similar patches not only lie in a low-rank subspace but are also sparse in total variation (TV) domain. For a group of similar patches, we formulate video denoising problem into a concise model that combines nuclear norm, TV regularization and l_1 norm. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme is capable of handling multi-type noise including dense Gaussian noise and random-valued sparse noise, while maintaining the texture information meantime. The results show that our scheme achieves noticeable performance improvement over the state-of-the-art video denoising methods.

In High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), excellent rate-distortion (RD) performance is achieved in part by having a flexible quadtree coding unit (CU) partition and a large number of intra-prediction modes. Such an excellent RD performance is achieved at the expense of much higher computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a learned fast HEVC intra coding (LFHI) framework taking into account the comprehensive factors of fast intra coding to reach an improved configurable tradeoff between coding performance and computational complexity. First, we design a low-complex shallow asymmetric-kernel CNN (AK-CNN) to efficiently extract the local directional texture features of each block for both fast CU partition and fast intra-mode decision. Second, we introduce the concept of the minimum number of RDO candidates (MNRC) into fast mode decision, which utilizes AK-CNN to predict the minimum number of best candidates for RDO calculation to further reduce the computation of intra-mode selection. Third, an evolution optimized threshold decision (EOTD) scheme is designed to achieve configurable complexity-efficiency tradeoffs. Finally, we propose an interpolation-based prediction scheme that allows for our framework to be generalized to all quantization parameters (QPs) without the need for training the network on each QP. The experimental results demonstrate that the LFHI framework has a high degree of parallelism and achieves a much better complexity-efficiency tradeoff, achieving up to 75.2% intra-mode encoding complexity reduction with negligible rate-distortion performance degradation, superior to the existing fast intra-coding schemes.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are powerful and have achieved state-of-the-art performance in many visual recognition tasks. Despite their impressive performance, CNNs are still unable to remain invariant while some spatial transformations are applied on images. Herein, we propose representation-consistent neural networks to solve this problem. By introducing consistent losses between the representations in different layers of transformed images, the recognition performance of transformed images is significantly improved. This model not only learns to map from the transformed images to the pre-defined labels but each layer also learns to generate invariant representations when the input images are transformed. All the characteristics of transformation invariance are embedded in the model, which means that no extra parameters or computations are introduced in the well-trained model. Comparative experiments demonstrate the superiority of our model when learning invariance to rotation, translation, and scaling on large-scale image recognition and retrieval tasks.

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.

One key challenge to learning-based video compression is that motion predictive coding, a very effective tool for video compression, can hardly be trained into a neural network. In this paper we propose the concept of PixelMotionCNN (PMCNN) which includes motion extension and hybrid prediction networks. PMCNN can model spatiotemporal coherence to effectively perform predictive coding inside the learning network. On the basis of PMCNN, we further explore a learning-based framework for video compression with additional components of iterative analysis/synthesis, binarization, etc. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Although entropy coding and complex configurations are not employed in this paper, we still demonstrate superior performance compared with MPEG-2 and achieve comparable results with H.264 codec. The proposed learning-based scheme provides a possible new direction to further improve compression efficiency and functionalities of future video coding. Copyright © 2018, The Authors.

We study the video super-resolution (SR) problem for facilitating video analytics tasks, e.g. action recognition, instead of for visual quality. The popular action recognition methods based on convolutional networks, exemplified by two-stream networks, are not directly applicable on video of low spatial resolution. This can be remedied by performing video SR prior to recognition, which motivates us to improve the SR procedure for recognition accuracy. Tailored for two-stream action recognition networks, we propose two video SR methods for the spatial and temporal streams respectively. On the one hand, we observe that regions with action are more important to recognition, and we propose an optical-flow guided weighted mean-squared-error loss for our spatial-oriented SR (SoSR) network to emphasize the reconstruction of moving objects. On the other hand, we observe that existing video SR methods incur temporal discontinuity between frames, which also worsens the recognition accuracy, and we propose a siamese network for our temporal-oriented SR (ToSR) training that emphasizes the temporal continuity between consecutive frames. We perform experiments using two state-of-the-art action recognition networks and two well-known datasets–UCF101 and HMDB51. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed SoSR and ToSR in improving recognition accuracy. Copyright © 2019, The Authors. All rights reserved.

In recent years, the Total Generalized Variation (TGV) model has received lots of attention in image processing community. Though this model can restore image with natural intensity transitions, its spatial identical parameter setting limits its performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Adaptive Weighted Total Generalized Variation model for image restoration. We analyze the TGV model from Bayesian Probability view and derive a novel adaptive parameter calculation scheme for it, exploiting the image's self-similarity. Experiment results on image deblurring and reconstruction show that by adapting the parameters in TGV model to image contents, the proposed model can restore image's edges and details well and achieve significant improvement over state of the art variational based models.
