Data compression techniques applied to high resolution high frame rate video technology
An investigation is presented of video data compression applied to microgravity space experiments using High Resolution High Frame Rate Video Technology (HHVT). An extensive survey of methods of video data compression, described in the open literature, was conducted. The survey examines compression methods employing digital computing. The results of the survey are presented. They include a description of each method and assessment of image degradation and video data parameters. An assessment is made of present and near term future technology for implementation of video data compression in high speed imaging system. Results of the assessment are discussed and summarized. The results of a study of a baseline HHVT video system, and approaches for implementation of video data compression, are presented. Case studies of three microgravity experiments are presented and specific compression techniques and implementations are recommended
Digital Color Imaging
This paper surveys current technology and research in the area of digital
color imaging. In order to establish the background and lay down terminology,
fundamental concepts of color perception and measurement are first presented
us-ing vector-space notation and terminology. Present-day color recording and
reproduction systems are reviewed along with the common mathematical models
used for representing these devices. Algorithms for processing color images for
display and communication are surveyed, and a forecast of research trends is
attempted. An extensive bibliography is provided
DART: Distribution Aware Retinal Transform for Event-based Cameras
We introduce a generic visual descriptor, termed as distribution aware
retinal transform (DART), that encodes the structural context using log-polar
grids for event cameras. The DART descriptor is applied to four different
problems, namely object classification, tracking, detection and feature
matching: (1) The DART features are directly employed as local descriptors in a
bag-of-features classification framework and testing is carried out on four
standard event-based object datasets (N-MNIST, MNIST-DVS, CIFAR10-DVS,
NCaltech-101). (2) Extending the classification system, tracking is
demonstrated using two key novelties: (i) For overcoming the low-sample problem
for the one-shot learning of a binary classifier, statistical bootstrapping is
leveraged with online learning; (ii) To achieve tracker robustness, the scale
and rotation equivariance property of the DART descriptors is exploited for the
one-shot learning. (3) To solve the long-term object tracking problem, an
object detector is designed using the principle of cluster majority voting. The
detection scheme is then combined with the tracker to result in a high
intersection-over-union score with augmented ground truth annotations on the
publicly available event camera dataset. (4) Finally, the event context encoded
by DART greatly simplifies the feature correspondence problem, especially for
spatio-temporal slices far apart in time, which has not been explicitly tackled
in the event-based vision domain.Comment: 12 pages, revision submitted to TPAMI in Nov 201
