Energy-efficient bandwidth allocation for multiuser scalable video streaming over WLAN
We consider the problem of packet scheduling for the transmission of multiple video streams over a wireless local area network (WLAN). A cross-layer optimization framework is proposed to minimize the wireless transceiver energy consumption while meeting the user required visual quality constraints. The framework relies on the IEEE 802.11 standard and on the embedded bitstream structure of the scalable video coding scheme. It integrates an application-level video quality metric as QoS constraint (instead of a communication layer quality metric) with energy consumption optimization through link layer scaling and sleeping. Both energy minimization and min-max energy optimization strategies are discussed. Simulation results demonstrate significant energy gains compared to the state-of-the-art approaches
Generalized Inpainting Method for Hyperspectral Image Acquisition
A recently designed hyperspectral imaging device enables multiplexed
acquisition of an entire data volume in a single snapshot thanks to
monolithically-integrated spectral filters. Such an agile imaging technique
comes at the cost of a reduced spatial resolution and the need for a
demosaicing procedure on its interleaved data. In this work, we address both
issues and propose an approach inspired by recent developments in compressed
sensing and analysis sparse models. We formulate our superresolution and
demosaicing task as a 3-D generalized inpainting problem. Interestingly, the
target spatial resolution can be adjusted for mitigating the compression level
of our sensing. The reconstruction procedure uses a fast greedy method called
Pseudo-inverse IHT. We also show on simulations that a random arrangement of
the spectral filters on the sensor is preferable to regular mosaic layout as it
improves the quality of the reconstruction. The efficiency of our technique is
demonstrated through numerical experiments on both synthetic and real data as
acquired by the snapshot imager.Comment: Keywords: Hyperspectral, inpainting, iterative hard thresholding,

New visual coding exploration in MPEG: Super-MultiView and free navigation in free viewpoint TV
ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG have recently jointly issued
a new multiview video compression standard, called 3D-HEVC,
which reaches unpreceded compression performances for linear,dense camera arrangements. In view of supporting future highquality,auto-stereoscopic 3D displays and Free Navigation virtual/augmented reality applications with sparse, arbitrarily arranged camera setups, innovative depth estimation and virtual view synthesis techniques with global optimizations over all camera views should be developed. Preliminary studies in response to the MPEG-FTV (Free viewpoint TV) Call for Evidence suggest these
targets are within reach, with at least 6% bitrate gains over 3DHEVC
