Recent efforts indicate that the convergence guarantee of the imaging algorithms using plug-andplay priors relies on the assumption of bounded denoisers. However, the bounded properties of existing plugged Gaussian denoisers have not been proven explicitly. To bridge this gap, we detail a novel provable bounded denoiser termed as BMDual,which combines a trainable denoiser using dual tight frames and the well-known block-matching and 3D filtering(BM3D)denoiser. We incorporate multiple dual frames utilized by BMDual into a novel regularization model induced by a solver. The proposed regularization model is utilized for compressed sensing magnetic resonance imaging(CSMRI). We theoretically show the bound of the BMDual denoiser, the bounded gradient of the CSMRI data-fidelity function, and further demonstrate that the proposed CSMRI algorithm converges. Experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has a good convergence behavior, and show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

A parallel coded aperture compressive imaging system and a corresponding motion target detection algorithm in video using compressive image data are developed. Coded masks with random Gaussian, Toeplitz and random binary are utilized to simulate the compressive image respectively. For compressive images, a mixture of the Gaussian distribution is applied to the compressed image field to model the background. A simple threshold test in compressive sampling image is used to declare motion objects. Foreground image retrieval from underdetermined measurement using the total variance optimization algorithm is explored. The signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） is employed to evaluate the image quality recovered from the compressive sampling signals, and receiver operation characteristic （ROC） curves are used to quantify the performance of the motion detection algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the low dimensional compressed imaging representation is sufficient to determine spatial motion targets. Compared with the random Gaussian and Toeplitz mask, motion detection algorithms using the random binary phase mask can yield better detection results. However using the random Gaussian and Toeplitz phase mask can achieve high resolution reconstructed images.展开更多

Subsequently, reconstruction algorithms restore image sequences of dynamic scenes, offering advantages such as reduced bandwidth and storage space requirements. The temporal correlation in video data is crucial for Video SCI, as it leverages the temporal relationships among frames to enhance the efficiency and quality of reconstruction algorithms, particularly for fast-moving objects.This paper discretizes video frames to create image datasets with the same data volume but differing temporal correlations. We utilized the state-of-the-art(SOTA) reconstruction framework, EfficientSCI++, to train various compressed reconstruction models with these differing temporal correlations. Evaluating the reconstruction results from these models, our simulation experiments confirm that a reduction in temporal correlation leads to decreased reconstruction accuracy. Additionally, we simulated the reconstruction outcomes of datasets devoid of temporal correlation, illustrating that models trained on non-temporal data affect the temporal feature extraction capabilities of transformers, resulting in negligible impacts on the evaluation of reconstruction results for non-temporal correlation test datasets.展开更多

The complicated residual redundancy in wavelet compressed images is decomposed into several independent 1-D probability check equations composed of Markov chains and it is regarded as a natural channel code with a structure similar to the low density parity check （LDPC） code. A parallel sum-product （SP） and iterative JSCD algorithm is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed JSCD algorithm can make full use of residual redundancy in different directions to correct errors and improve the peak signal noise ratio （PSNR） of the reconstructed image and reduce the complexity and delay of JSCD. The performance of JSCD is more robust than the traditional separated encoding system with arithmetic coding in the same data rate.展开更多

[Method] In the proposal, the color image was divided into brightness images with three fundamental colors, followed by sub-image division and DCT treatment. Then, coefficients of transform domain were quantized, and encoded and compressed as per Huffman coding. Finally, decompression was conducted through inverse process and decompressed images were matched. [Result] The simulation results show that when compression ratio of the color image of rape crops was 11.972 3∶1, human can not distinguish the differences between the decompressed images and the source images with naked eyes; when ratio was as high as 53.565 6∶1, PSNR was still above 30 dD,encoding efficiency achieved over 0.78 and redundancy was less than 0.22. [Conclusion] The results indicate that the proposed color image compression technology can achieve higher compression ratio on the premise of good image quality. In addition, image encoding quality and decompressed images achieved better results, which fully met requirement of image storage and transmission in monitoring system of rape crop in the Qinling Mountains.展开更多

Taking image transmission as an example, from the semantic communication's view, not all pixels in the images are equally important for certain receivers. The existing semantic communication systems directly perform semantic encoding and decoding on the whole image, in which the region of interest cannot be identified. In this paper, we propose a novel semantic communication system for image transmission that can distinguish between Regions Of Interest (ROI) and Regions Of Non-Interest (RONI) based on semantic segmentation, where a semantic segmentation algorithm is used to classify each pixel of the image and distinguish ROI and RONI. The system also enables high-quality transmission of ROI with lower communication overheads by transmissions through different semantic communication networks with different bandwidth requirements. An improved metric θPSNR is proposed to evaluate the transmission accuracy of the novel semantic transmission network. Experimental results show that our proposed system achieves a significant performance improvement compared with existing approaches, namely, existing semantic communication approaches and the conventional approach without semantics.展开更多

But the decompressed image quality can not be promoted efficiently, so how to balance the image compression rate and image recovering quality is an important issue, in this paper, an image is transformed by discrete wavelet transform （DWT） to generate its DWT transformed image which can be compressed by the VQ method further. Besides, we compute the values between the DWT transformed image and decompressed DWT transformed image as the difference matrix which is the adjustable basis of the decompressed image quality. By controlling the deviation of the difference matrix, there can be nearly Iossless compression for the VQ method. Experimental results show that when the number of compressed bits by our method is equal to the number of those bits compressed by the VQ method, the quality of our recovered image is better. Moreover, the proposed method has more compression capability comparing with the VQ scheme.展开更多

Mean square difference of slope criterion is used to judge the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

By reducing the size of the color images to its utmost compression, the speed and the storage of the system are greatly increased. We have used the powerful Fringe-adjusted joint transform correlation technique to successfully detect compression-based multiple targets in colored images. The colored image is decomposed into three fundamental color components images (Red, Green, Blue) and they are separately processed by three-channel correlators. The outputs of the three channels are then combined into a single correlation output. To eliminate the false alarms and zero-order terms due to multiple desired and undesired targets in a scene, we have used the reference shifted phase-encoded and the reference phase-encoded techniques. The performance of the proposed compression-based technique is assessed through many computer simulation tests for images polluted by strong additive Gaussian and Salt & Pepper noises as well as reference occluded images. The robustness of the scheme is demonstrated for severely compressed images (up to 94% ratio), strong noise densities (up to 0.5), and large reference occlusion images (up to 75%).展开更多

Even with a very low compression rate, it still can recover a higher quality astronomical image than JPEG and JPEG-2000 compression methods.

文摘The exponential growth of data necessitates an effective data storage scheme,which helps to effectively manage the large quantity of data.To accomplish this,Deoxyribonucleic Acid(DNA)digital data storage process can be employed,which encodes and decodes binary data to and from synthesized strands of DNA.Vector quantization(VQ)is a commonly employed scheme for image compression and the optimal codebook generation is an effective process to reach maximum compression efficiency.This article introduces a newDNAComputingwithWater StriderAlgorithm based Vector Quantization(DNAC-WSAVQ)technique for Data Storage Systems.The proposed DNAC-WSAVQ technique enables encoding data using DNA computing and then compresses it for effective data storage.Besides,the DNAC-WSAVQ model initially performsDNA encoding on the input images to generate a binary encoded form.In addition,aWater Strider algorithm with Linde-Buzo-Gray(WSA-LBG)model is applied for the compression process and thereby storage area can be considerably minimized.In order to generate optimal codebook for LBG,the WSA is applied to it.The performance validation of the DNAC-WSAVQ model is carried out and the results are inspected under several measures.The comparative study highlighted the improved outcomes of the DNAC-WSAVQ model over the existing methods.
文摘Aiming at applications as a projectile-borne video reconnaissance system, the overall design and prototype in principle of a mortar video reconnaissance system bomb were developed. Mortar launched test results show that the initial integrated system was capable of transmitting images through tens of kilometers with the image resolution identifying effectively tactical targets such as roads, hills, caverns, trees and rivers. The projectile-borne video reconnaissance system is able to meet the needs of tactical target identification and battle damage assessment for tactical operations. The study will provide significant technological support for further independent development.

文摘Due to coarse quantization, block-based discrete cosine transform(BDCT) compression methods usually suffer from visible blocking artifacts at the block boundaries. A novel efficient de-blocking method in DCT domain is proposed. A specific criterion for edge detection is given, one-dimensional DCT is applied on each row of the adjacent blocks and the shifted block in smooth region, and the transform coefficients of the shifted block are modified by weighting the average of three coefficients of the block. Mean square difference of slope criterion is used to judge the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the new method not only obtains satisfactory image quality, but also maintains high frequency information.
文摘In this paper, we are proposing a compression-based multiple color target detection for practical near real-time optical pattern recognition applications. By reducing the size of the color images to its utmost compression, the speed and the storage of the system are greatly increased. We have used the powerful Fringe-adjusted joint transform correlation technique to successfully detect compression-based multiple targets in colored images. The colored image is decomposed into three fundamental color components images (Red, Green, Blue) and they are separately processed by three-channel correlators. The outputs of the three channels are then combined into a single correlation output. To eliminate the false alarms and zero-order terms due to multiple desired and undesired targets in a scene, we have used the reference shifted phase-encoded and the reference phase-encoded techniques. The performance of the proposed compression-based technique is assessed through many computer simulation tests for images polluted by strong additive Gaussian and Salt & Pepper noises as well as reference occluded images. The robustness of the scheme is demonstrated for severely compressed images (up to 94% ratio), strong noise densities (up to 0.5), and large reference occlusion images (up to 75%).

文摘Remote passive drone detection in the presence of strong background noise is challenging,since they are point objects and cannot be recognized by their contour detection.In this study,we introduce a new passive single-photon dynamic imaging method using quantum compressed sensing.This method utilizes the inherent randomness of photon radiation and detection to construct a compressive imaging system.It captures the broadband dynamic features of the point object through sparse photon detection,achieving a detectable bandwidth up to 2.05 GHz,which is significantly higher than current photon-counting imaging techniques.The method also shows excellent noise resistance,achieving high-quality imaging with a signal-to-background ratio of 1/332.This technique significantly enhances the use of single-photon imaging in real-world applications.

文摘With the rapid development of digital communication and the widespread use of the Internet of Things,multi-view image compression has attracted increasing attention as a fundamental technology for image data communication.Multi-view image compression aims to improve compression efficiency by leveraging correlations between images.However,the requirement of synchronization and inter-image communication at the encoder side poses significant challenges,especially for constrained devices.In this study,we introduce a novel distributed image compression model based on the attention mechanism to address the challenges associated with the availability of side information only during decoding.Our model integrates an encoder network,a quantization module,and a decoder network,to ensure both high compression performance and high-quality image reconstruction.The encoder uses a deep Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)to extract high-level features from the input image,which then pass through the quantization module for further compression before undergoing lossless entropy coding.The decoder of our model consists of three main components that allow us to fully exploit the information within and between images on the decoder side.Specifically,we first introduce a channel-spatial attention module to capture and refine information within individual image feature maps.Second,we employ a semi-coupled convolution module to extract both shared and specific information in images.Finally,a cross-attention module is employed to fuse mutual information extracted from side information.The effectiveness of our model is validated on various datasets,including KITTI Stereo and Cityscapes.The results highlight the superior compression capabilities of our method,surpassing state-of-the-art techniques.

文摘Nonlinear transforms have significantly advanced learned image compression(LIC),particularly using residual blocks.This transform enhances the nonlinear expression ability and obtain compact feature representation by enlarging the receptive field,which indicates how the convolution process extracts features in a high dimensional feature space.However,its functionality is restricted to the spatial dimension and network depth,limiting further improvements in network performance due to insufficient information interaction and representation.Crucially,the potential of high dimensional feature space in the channel dimension and the exploration of network width/resolution remain largely untapped.In this paper,we consider nonlinear transforms from the perspective of feature space,defining high-dimensional feature spaces in different dimensions and investigating the specific effects.Firstly,we introduce the dimension increasing and decreasing transforms in both channel and spatial dimensions to obtain high dimensional feature space and achieve better feature extraction.Secondly,we design a channel-spatial fusion residual transform(CSR),which incorporates multi-dimensional transforms for a more effective representation.Furthermore,we simplify the proposed fusion transform to obtain a slim architecture(CSR-sm),balancing network complexity and compression performance.Finally,we build the overall network with stacked CSR transforms to achieve better compression and reconstruction.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve superior ratedistortion performance compared to the existing LIC methods and traditional codecs.Specifically,our proposed method achieves 9.38%BD-rate reduction over VVC on Kodak dataset.

文摘A blind digital image forensic method for detecting copy-paste forgery between JPEG images was proposed.Two copy-paste tampering scenarios were introduced at first:the tampered image was saved in an uncompressed format or in a JPEG compressed format.Then the proposed detection method was analyzed and simulated for all the cases of the two tampering scenarios.The tampered region is detected by computing the averaged sum of absolute difference(ASAD) images between the examined image and a resaved JPEG compressed image at different quality factors.The experimental results show the advantages of the proposed method:capability of detecting small and/or multiple tampered regions,simple computation,and hence fast speed in processing.
