Fast Mode Decision for 3D-HEVC Depth Intracoding
The emerging international standard of high efficiency video coding based 3D video coding (3D-HEVC) is a successor to multiview video coding (MVC). In 3D-HEVC depth intracoding, depth modeling mode (DMM) and high efficiency video coding (HEVC) intraprediction mode are both employed to select the best coding mode for each coding unit (CU). This technique achieves the highest possible coding efficiency, but it results in extremely large encoding time which obstructs the 3D-HEVC from practical application. In this paper, a fast mode decision algorithm based on the correlation between texture video and depth map is proposed to reduce 3D-HEVC depth intracoding computational complexity. Since the texture video and its associated depth map represent the same scene, there is a high correlation among the prediction mode from texture video and depth map. Therefore, we can skip some specific depth intraprediction modes rarely used in related texture CU. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce computational complexity of 3D-HEVC depth intracoding while maintaining coding efficiency
Total Variation Regularized Tensor RPCA for Background Subtraction from Compressive Measurements
Background subtraction has been a fundamental and widely studied task in
video analysis, with a wide range of applications in video surveillance,
teleconferencing and 3D modeling. Recently, motivated by compressive imaging,
background subtraction from compressive measurements (BSCM) is becoming an
active research task in video surveillance. In this paper, we propose a novel
tensor-based robust PCA (TenRPCA) approach for BSCM by decomposing video frames
into backgrounds with spatial-temporal correlations and foregrounds with
spatio-temporal continuity in a tensor framework. In this approach, we use 3D
total variation (TV) to enhance the spatio-temporal continuity of foregrounds,
and Tucker decomposition to model the spatio-temporal correlations of video
background. Based on this idea, we design a basic tensor RPCA model over the
video frames, dubbed as the holistic TenRPCA model (H-TenRPCA). To characterize
the correlations among the groups of similar 3D patches of video background, we
further design a patch-group-based tensor RPCA model (PG-TenRPCA) by joint
tensor Tucker decompositions of 3D patch groups for modeling the video
background. Efficient algorithms using alternating direction method of
multipliers (ADMM) are developed to solve the proposed models. Extensive
experiments on simulated and real-world videos demonstrate the superiority of
the proposed approaches over the existing state-of-the-art approaches.Comment: To appear in IEEE TI
Image Restoration Using Joint Statistical Modeling in Space-Transform Domain
This paper presents a novel strategy for high-fidelity image restoration by
characterizing both local smoothness and nonlocal self-similarity of natural
images in a unified statistical manner. The main contributions are three-folds.
First, from the perspective of image statistics, a joint statistical modeling
(JSM) in an adaptive hybrid space-transform domain is established, which offers
a powerful mechanism of combining local smoothness and nonlocal self-similarity
simultaneously to ensure a more reliable and robust estimation. Second, a new
form of minimization functional for solving image inverse problem is formulated
using JSM under regularization-based framework. Finally, in order to make JSM
tractable and robust, a new Split-Bregman based algorithm is developed to
efficiently solve the above severely underdetermined inverse problem associated
with theoretical proof of convergence. Extensive experiments on image
inpainting, image deblurring and mixed Gaussian plus salt-and-pepper noise
removal applications verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.Comment: 14 pages, 18 figures, 7 Tables, to be published in IEEE Transactions
