Evaluation of the impact of lossy compression on event camera-based computer vision tasks

Touradj Ebrahimi, Davi Nachtigall Lazzarotto, Bowen Huang

In the field of image acquisition, Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS) present an innovative methodology, capturing only the variations in pixel brightness instead of absolute values and thereby revealing unique features. Given that the primary deployment of DVS ...

Convex Quantization Preserves Logconcavity

Pol del Aguila Pla

A logconcave likelihood is as important to proper statistical inference as a convex cost function is important to variational optimization. Quantization is often disregarded when writing likelihood models, ignoring the limitations of the physical detectors ...

Towards JPEG AIC part 3: visual quality assessment of high to visually lossless image coding

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Michela Testolina

Due to the increasing number of pictures captured and stored every day by and on digital devices, lossy image compression has become inevitable to limit the needed storage requirement. As a consequence, these compression methods might introduce some visual ...

Performance Evaluation of Objective Image Quality Metrics on Conventional and Learning-Based Compression Artifacts

Touradj Ebrahimi, Evgeniy Upenik, Michela Testolina

Lossy image compression is a popular, simple and effective solution to reduce the amount of data representing digital pictures. In most lossy compression methods, the reduced volume of data in bits is achieved at the expense of introducing visual artifacts ...

Adaptive extreme video completion

Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta, Majed El Helou, Ruofan Zhou

A computer-implemented video completion method is proposed for reconstructing a sparsely sampled video comprising sparsely sampled video frames comprising sparse sets of picture element intensity values. The method comprises: distributing the sparse sets o ...

Differentiable Patch Selection for Image Recognition

Jean-Baptiste Francis Marie Juliette Cordonnier, Aravindh Mahendran

Neural Networks require large amounts of memory and compute to process high resolution images, even when only a small part of the image is actually informative for the task at hand. We propose a method based on a differentiable Top-K operator to select the ...

On Maintaining Linear Convergence of Distributed Learning and Optimization Under Limited Communication

Na Li, Hossein Shokri Ghadikolaei

In distributed optimization and machine learning, multiple nodes coordinate to solve large problems. To do this, the nodes need to compress important algorithm information to bits so that it can be communicated over a digital channel. The communication tim ...

Finite-Level Quantization Procedures for Construction and Decoding of Polar Codes

Emre Telatar, Yunus Inan

We consider finite-level, symmetric quantization procedures for construction and decoding of polar codes. Whether polarization occurs in the presence of quantization is not known in general. In [1], it is shown that a simple three-level quantization proced ...
