Region Adaptive Unsharp Masking based DCT Interpolation for Efficient Video Intra Frame Up-Sampling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the existing interpolation techniques available in the literature produce a blurring effect while converting a low resolution video to its high resolution counterpart. The blurring results in the loss of fine details and critical edge information of a video intra frame. In order to resolve this problem, an efficient, no reference, hybrid interpolation technique is proposed here. The proposed method makes use of a combination of anticipatory, spatial domain, region adaptive unsharp masking operation with the discrete cosine transform (DCT) based interpolation technique for retaining some of the fine details and critical edge information in the reconstructed video frame. The region adaptive unsharp masking is a preprocessing step which sharpens the

Convolutional Neural Network-Based Block Up-sampling for Intra Frame Coding
Inspired by the recent advances of image superresolution using convolutional neural network (CNN), we propose a CNN-based block up-sampling scheme for intra frame coding. A block can be down-sampled before being compressed by normal intra coding, and then up-sampled to its original resolution. Different from previous studies on down/up-sampling based coding, the up-sampling interpolation filter...
متن کاملNew adaptive interpolation schemes for efficient meshbased motion estimation
Motion estimation and compensation is an essential part of existing video coding systems. The mesh-based motion estimation (MME) produces smoother motion field, better subjective quality (free from blocking artifacts), and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in many cases, especially at low bitrate video communications, compared to the conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). Howev...
متن کاملContrast Enhancement of Electron Magnetic Resonance Images Using Linear and Non Linear Unsharp Masking Techniques
This paper presents an evaluation of various unsharp masking techniques for enhancement of Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR) images. Both the linear and non-linear unsharp masking techniques are tested for contrast enhancement of continuous wave EMR images. In vivo EMR renal images as well as leg-tumor images of a mouse are used as test images. Both visual appearance as well as Signal to Noise ...
متن کاملClassifying Useful Motion Vectors for Efficient Frame Rate Up Conversion of MC-DCT Encoded Video Streams
Frame Rate Up Conversion (FRUC) is a technique that makes natural video playback possible by increasing the frame rates of video streams at the decoder side. Previous FRUC methods estimated the motions of the all blocks between nearby decoded frames to generate an interpolated frame, and hence, required a lot of computational resources. This paper proposes a new frame interpolation method that ...
متن کاملObject-based texture coding of moving video in MPEG-4
This paper describes some of the most promising segment-based coding techniques which have been investigated in the course of the MPEG-4 standardization process. Padding methods aim at extending arbitrarily shaped image segments to a regular block grid such that common hybrid block-based coding techniques can be applied. A simple and efficient padding technique employing low-pass extrapolation ...
