Improved side information generation algorithm for Wyner-Ziv video coding简

Side information has a significant influence on the rate-distortion（RD） performance of distributed video coding（DVC）. In the conventional motion compensated frame interpolation scheme, all blocks adopt the same side-information generation method regardless of the motion intensity inequality at different regions. In this paper, an improved method is proposed. The image blocks are classified into two modes, fast motion and slow motion, by simply computing the discrete cosine transformation（DCT） coefficients at the encoder. On the decoder, it chooses the direct interpolation and refined motion compensated interpolation correspondingly to generate side information. Experimental results show that the proposed method, without increasing the encoder complexity, can increase the average peak signal-to-noise ratio（PSNR） by up to 1~ 2 dB compared with the existing algorithm. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm significantly improves the subjective quality of the side information.     

Wyner-Ziv视频编码中无反馈速率控制算法研究

为了避免在分布式视频编码系统中使用反馈信道,提出了一种基于Wyner-Ziv编码的无反馈速率控制算法。首先,利用目标码率和目标帧率进行GOP层码率分配;然后,根据原始图像的帧间相关性动态选择量化因子和量化矩阵来分配每个GOP内关键帧和Wyner-Ziv帧的比特数;接下来,利用系数带级的相关性计算相关噪声模型参数,并选择对应的LDPC校验矩阵,提出Wyner-Ziv帧的无反馈比特面速率控制算法。实验结果表明,在给定目标码率下,所提算法的编码码率误差小于0.57%,且与现有无反馈速率控制算法相比,解码恢复图像的PSNR(峰值信噪比)可以提高1dB。另外,该算法基本没有增加编码端复杂度,可用于实际分布式视频通信系统。     

An improved side information generation for distributed video coding

This paper presents a side information (SI) scheme for distributed video coding based on multilayer perceptron. The suggested scheme predicts a Wyner–Ziv (WZ) frame from two decoded key frames. The network is trained offline using patterns from different standard video sequences with varied motion characteristics to achieve generalization. The proposed scheme is simulated along with other standard video coding schemes. Performance comparisons have been made with respect to training convergence, rate distortion (RD), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), number of requests per SI frame, decoding time requirement, etc. In general, it is observed that the proposed scheme has a superior SI frame generation capability as compared to its competent schemes.     

Layered Wyner-Ziv video coding.

Following recent theoretical works on successive Wyner-Ziv coding (WZC), we propose a practical layered Wyner-Ziv video coder using the DCT, nested scalar quantization, and irregular LDPC code based Slepian-Wolf coding (or lossless source coding with side information at the decoder). Our main novelty is to use the base layer of a standard scalable video coder (e.g., MPEG-4/H.26L FGS or H.263+) as the decoder side information and perform layered WZC for quality enhancement. Similar to FGS coding, there is no performance difference between layered and monolithic WZC when the enhancement bitstream is generated in our proposed coder. Using an H.26L coded version as the base layer, experiments indicate that WZC gives slightly worse performance than FGS coding when the channel (for both the base and enhancement layers) is noiseless. However, when the channel is noisy, extensive simulations of video transmission over wireless networks conforming to the CDMA2000 1X standard show that H.26L base layer coding plus Wyner-Ziv enhancement layer coding are more robust against channel errors than H.26L FGS coding. These results demonstrate that layered Wyner-Ziv video coding is a promising new technique for video streaming over wireless networks.     

Rate distortion analysis of motion side estimation in Wyner-Ziv video coding.

Wyner-Ziv video coding (WZVC) has gained considerable interests in the research community. In this paper, we present a model to examine the WZVC performance and compare it with conventional motion-compensated prediction (MCP) based video coding. Theoretical results show that although WZVC can achieve as much as 6-dB gain over conventional video coding without motion search, it still falls 6 dB or more behind current best MCP-based INTER-frame video coding. We further study the use of subpixel and multireference motion search methods to improve WZVC efficiency. The analytical results are confirmed by simulations and experiments.     

Multiple side information streams for distributed video coding

An improved Wyner-Ziv decoder for distributed video coding (DVC) is proposed, which uses multiple side information streams obtained by using multiple reference frames. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve a significant PSNR gain of up to 2.4 dB over the best available DVC codec at the same bit rate     

Efficient reconstruction scheme for transform domain Wyner-Ziv video coding

To minimize the errors of the reconstructed values and improve the quality of decoded image,an efficient reconstruction scheme for transform domain Wyner-Ziv (WZ) video coding is proposed.The reconstruction scheme exploits temporal correlation of the coefficient bands,the WZ decoded bits stream and the side information efficiently.When side information is outside the decoded quantization bin,the reconstructed value is derived using expectation of the WZ decoded bit stream and the side information.When side information is within the decoded quantization bin,the reconstructed value is derived using the biased predictor.Simulation results show that the proposed reconstruction scheme gains up to 1.32 dB compared with the commonly used boundary reconstruction scheme at the same bit rates and similar computation cost.     

Sequential motion estimation using luminance and chrominance information for distributed video coding of Wyner-Ziv frames

Proposed is a novel side information refinement technique for Wyner-Ziv video frames in distributed video coding using sequential motion compensation with luminance and chrominance information for a given bit plane to update the side information for the next bit plane. Simulation results show that over 3 dB PSNR gain can be obtained with the proposed algorithm over the best available pixel domain Wyner Ziv codec from the literature [Natario et al.] at the same bit rate.     

Cross-band noise model refinement for transform domain Wyner-Ziv video coding

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new video coding paradigm, which mainly exploits the source statistics at the decoder based on the availability of decoder side information. One approach to DVC is feedback channel based Transform Domain Wyner-Ziv (TDWZ) video coding. The efficiency of current TDWZ video coding trails that of conventional video coding solutions, mainly due to the quality of side information, inaccurate noise modeling and loss in the final coding step. The major goal of this paper is to enhance the accuracy of the noise modeling, which is one of the most important aspects influencing the coding performance of DVC. A TDWZ video decoder with a novel cross-band based adaptive noise model is proposed, and a noise residue refinement scheme is introduced to successively update the estimated noise residue for noise modeling after each bit-plane. Experimental results show that the proposed noise model and noise residue refinement scheme can improve the rate-distortion (RD) performance of TDWZ video coding significantly. The quality of the side information modeling is also evaluated by a measure of the ideal code length.
