Distributed Representation of Geometrically Correlated Images with Compressed Linear Measurements
This paper addresses the problem of distributed coding of images whose
correlation is driven by the motion of objects or positioning of the vision
sensors. It concentrates on the problem where images are encoded with
compressed linear measurements. We propose a geometry-based correlation model
in order to describe the common information in pairs of images. We assume that
the constitutive components of natural images can be captured by visual
features that undergo local transformations (e.g., translation) in different
images. We first identify prominent visual features by computing a sparse
approximation of a reference image with a dictionary of geometric basis
functions. We then pose a regularized optimization problem to estimate the
corresponding features in correlated images given by quantized linear
measurements. The estimated features have to comply with the compressed
information and to represent consistent transformation between images. The
correlation model is given by the relative geometric transformations between
corresponding features. We then propose an efficient joint decoding algorithm
that estimates the compressed images such that they stay consistent with both
the quantized measurements and the correlation model. Experimental results show
that the proposed algorithm effectively estimates the correlation between
images in multi-view datasets. In addition, the proposed algorithm provides
effective decoding performance that compares advantageously to independent
coding solutions as well as state-of-the-art distributed coding schemes based
on disparity learning
A two-stage video coding framework with both self-adaptive redundant dictionary and adaptively orthonormalized DCT basis
In this work, we propose a two-stage video coding framework, as an extension
of our previous one-stage framework in [1]. The two-stage frameworks consists
two different dictionaries. Specifically, the first stage directly finds the
sparse representation of a block with a self-adaptive dictionary consisting of
all possible inter-prediction candidates by solving an L0-norm minimization
problem using an improved orthogonal matching pursuit with embedded
orthonormalization (eOMP) algorithm, and the second stage codes the residual
using DCT dictionary adaptively orthonormalized to the subspace spanned by the
first stage atoms. The transition of the first stage and the second stage is
determined based on both stages' quantization stepsizes and a threshold. We
further propose a complete context adaptive entropy coder to efficiently code
the locations and the coefficients of chosen first stage atoms. Simulation
results show that the proposed coder significantly improves the RD performance
over our previous one-stage coder. More importantly, the two-stage coder, using
a fixed block size and inter-prediction only, outperforms the H.264 coder
(x264) and is competitive with the HEVC reference coder (HM) over a large rate
range
Dictionary Learning for Blind One Bit Compressed Sensing
This letter proposes a dictionary learning algorithm for blind one bit
compressed sensing. In the blind one bit compressed sensing framework, the
original signal to be reconstructed from one bit linear random measurements is
sparse in an unknown domain. In this context, the multiplication of measurement
matrix \Ab and sparse domain matrix , \ie \Db=\Ab\Phi, should be
learned. Hence, we use dictionary learning to train this matrix. Towards that
end, an appropriate continuous convex cost function is suggested for one bit
compressed sensing and a simple steepest-descent method is exploited to learn
the rows of the matrix \Db. Experimental results show the effectiveness of
the proposed algorithm against the case of no dictionary learning, specially
with increasing the number of training signals and the number of sign
measurements.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
