Neural Distributed Image Compression with Cross-Attention Feature Alignment

We consider the problem of compressing an information source when a correlated one is available as side information only at the decoder side, which is a special case of the distributed source coding problem in information theory. In particular, we consider ...

Graph-based Transform Coding with Application to Image Compression

Pascal Frossard, Ntorina Thanou, Giulia Fracastoro

In this paper, we propose a new graph-based coding framework and illustrate its application to image compression. Our approach relies on the careful design of a graph that optimizes the overall rate-distortion performance through an effective graph-based t ...

Adaptive Learning-Based Compressive Sampling for Low-power Wireless Implants

Volkan Cevher, Catherine Dehollain, Mahsa Shoaran, Yusuf Leblebici, Gürkan Yilmaz, Cosimo Aprile, Luca Baldassarre, Kerim Türe, Franco Maloberti

Implantable systems are nowadays being used to interface the human brain with external devices, in order to understand and potentially treat neurological disorders. The most predominant design constraints are the system’s area and power. In this paper, we ...

Statistically-Motivated Second-order Pooling

Mathieu Salzmann, Kaicheng Yu

Second-order pooling, a.k.a. bilinear pooling, has proven effective for deep learning based visual recognition. However, the resulting second-order networks yield a final representation that is orders of magnitude larger than that of standard, first-order ...

Local Geometric Transformations in Image Analysis

Zsuzsanna Püspöki

The characterization of images by geometric features facilitates the precise analysis of the structures found in biological micrographs such as cells, proteins, or tissues. In this thesis, we study image representations that are adapted to local geometric ...

Optimality of Operator-Like Wavelets for Representing Sparse AR(1) Processes

Michaël Unser, Pedram Pad

The discrete cosine transform (DCT) is known to be asymptotically equivalent to the Karhunen-Loève transform (KLT) of Gaussian first-order auto-regressive (AR(1)) processes. Since being uncorrelated under the Gaussian hypothesis is synonymous with independ ...

Low Complexity Image Recognition Algorithms for Handheld devices

Pradyumna Ayyalasomayajula

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has gained a lot of interest over the last two decades. The need to search and retrieve images from databases, based on information (“features”) extracted from the image itself, is becoming increasingly important. CBIR ...

Retrieval of occluded images using DCT phase and region merging

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti, Pradyumna Ayyalasomayajula

In this paper we present an efficient method for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) of occluded images using DCT-phase. The proposed method utilizes a novel correlation metric for ternary-valued DCT-phase, as well as a region merging method to reconstruc ...

Reduced-Dimension Linear Transform Coding of Correlated Signals in Networks

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Naveen Goela

A model called the linear transform network (LTN) is proposed to analyze the compression and estimation of correlated signals transmitted over directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). An LTN is a DAG network with multiple source and receiver nodes. Source nodes tra ...

On the Limits of Perceptually Optimized JPEG

Touradj Ebrahimi, Francesca De Simone, Lutz Goldmann, Denis Filimonov

The study presented in this paper aims at quantifying the empirical limits of JPEG optimization, when the compressed stream is standard compliant and only the quantization tables are optimized. Image-dependent quantization tables, which minimize the bitrat ...

Scalable and Low Cost Design Approach for Variable Block Size Motion Estimation (VBSME)

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Hadi Parandeh Afshar

Variable block size motion estimation (VBSME) in state-of-the-art video coding standards is one of the key features which improves the coding efficiency significantly compared to the previous standards. VBSME hardware design is a challenging task due to it ...

Perceived speed differences explain apparent compression in slit viewing

Michael Herzog

When a figure moves behind a stationary narrow slit, observers often report seeing the figure as an integrated whole, a phenomenon known as slit viewing or anorthoscopic perception. Interestingly, in slit viewing, the figure is perceived compressed along t ...

Recognition Of Reverberant Speech Using Frequency Domain Linear Prediction

Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy, Samuel Thomas

Performance of a typical automatic speech recognition (ASR) system severely degrades when it encounters speech from reverberant environments. Part of the reason for this degradation is the feature extraction techniques that use analysis windows which are m ...

Space-frequency quantization for image compression with directionlets

Martin Vetterli, Vladan Velisavljevic

The standard separable 2-D wavelet transform (WT) has recently achieved a great success in image processing because it provides a sparse representation of smooth images. However, it fails to efficiently capture 1-D discontinuities, like edges or contours. ...

The SURE-LET Approach to Image Denoising

Thierry Blu, Florian Luisier

We propose a new approach to image denoising, based on the image-domain minimization of an estimate of the mean squared error—Stein's unbiased risk estimate (SURE). Unlike most existing denoising algorithms, using the SURE makes it needless to hypothesize ...
