Lossless Intra Coding in HEVC with 3-tap Filters
This paper presents a pixel-by-pixel spatial prediction method for lossless
intra coding within High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). A well-known previous
pixel-by-pixel spatial prediction method uses only two neighboring pixels for
prediction, based on the angular projection idea borrowed from block-based
intra prediction in lossy coding. This paper explores a method which uses three
neighboring pixels for prediction according to a two-dimensional correlation
model, and the used neighbor pixels and prediction weights change depending on
intra mode. To find the best prediction weights for each intra mode, a
two-stage offline optimization algorithm is used and a number of implementation
aspects are discussed to simplify the proposed prediction method. The proposed
method is implemented in the HEVC reference software and experimental results
show that the explored 3-tap filtering method can achieve an average 11.34%
bitrate reduction over the default lossless intra coding in HEVC. The proposed
method also decreases average decoding time by 12.7% while it increases average
encoding time by 9.7%Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Can you tell a face from a HEVC bitstream?
Image and video analytics are being increasingly used on a massive scale. Not
only is the amount of data growing, but the complexity of the data processing
pipelines is also increasing, thereby exacerbating the problem. It is becoming
increasingly important to save computational resources wherever possible. We
focus on one of the poster problems of visual analytics -- face detection --
and approach the issue of reducing the computation by asking: Is it possible to
detect a face without full image reconstruction from the High Efficiency Video
Coding (HEVC) bitstream? We demonstrate that this is indeed possible, with
accuracy comparable to conventional face detection, by training a Convolutional
Neural Network on the output of the HEVC entropy decoder
Insomniast ja selle ravivõimalusest meditatiivsete meetoditega
Insomnia on üks tavalisemaid täiskasvanute uneprobleeme. See halvendab mõne haiguse prognoosi ning suurendab erinevatesse kroonilistesse haigustesse haigestumise riski. Insomnia on aladiagnoositud ja selle ravivõimalused on kättesaadavuse või talutavusega seotud probleemide tõttu piiratud. Artiklis on käsitletud meditatiivsete ravivõtete teaduspõhisust insomnia ravis.Eesti Arst 2017; 96(3):149–15
