Encoder-Driven Inpainting Strategy in Multiview Video Compression

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey, Yu Gao

In free viewpoint video systems, where a user has the freedom to select a virtual view from which an observation image of the 3D scene is rendered, the scene is commonly represented by texture and depth images from multiple nearby viewpoints. In such repre ...

JPEG XT: A Compression Standard for HDR and WCG Images [Standards in a Nutshell]

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

High bit depth data acquisition and manipulation have been largely studied at the academic level over the last 15 years and are rapidly attracting interest at the industrial level. An example of the increasing interest for high-dynamic range (HDR) imaging ...

Geometry-driven quantization for omnidirectional image coding

Pascal Frossard, Francesca De Simone

In this paper we propose a method to adapt the quantization tables of typical block-based transform codecs when the input to the encoder is a panoramic image resulting from equirectangular projection of a spherical image. When the visual content is project ...

Rate-Distortion Evaluation for Two-Layer Coding Systems

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

The Bjontegaard model is widely used to calculate the compression efficiency between different codecs. However, this model is not sufficient to investigate the impact on quality of the interaction of the base and enhancement layer bit rates when comparing ...

In-Network View Re-Sampling for Interactive Free Viewpoint Video Streaming

Pascal Frossard, Laura Toni

Interactive free viewpoint video offers the possibility for each user to independently choose the views of a 3D scene to be displayed at de- coder. The visual content is commonly represented by N texture and depth map pairs that capture different viewpoint ...

High Relief from 3D Scenes

Sabine Süsstrunk, Roger Hersch, Mahmut Sami Arpa

We present a method for synthesizing high reliefs, a sculpting technique that attaches 3D objects onto a 2D surface within a limited depth range. The main challenges are the preservation of distinct scene parts by preserving depth discontinuities, the fine ...

Compression Performance Analysis in HEVC

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart

In this chapter, performance analysis of HEVC (Recommendation ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2) in comparison with AVC (Recommendation ITU-T H.264 | ISO/IEC 14996-10) in terms of both objective as well as subjective quality assessments are given. Because of t ...

Subjective evaluation of HEVC intra coding for still image compression

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart, Martin Rerabek

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) demonstrates a significant improvement in compression efficiency compared to H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, especially for video with resolution beyond HD, such as 4K UHDTV. One advantage of HEVC is the improved intra coding of video ...

Rate-distortion analysis of multiview coding in a DIBR framework

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Depth image based rendering techniques for multiview applications have been recently introduced for efficient view generation at arbitrary camera positions. Encoding rate control has thus to consider both texture and depth data. Due to different structures ...

JPEG backward compatible format for 3D content representation

Touradj Ebrahimi, Philippe Hanhart, Martin Rerabek

Different formats and compression algorithms have been proposed for 3D video content, but 3D images are still mostly represented as a stereo pair only. However, for enhanced 3D rendering capabilities, such as depth perception adjustment or display size ada ...
