A Hybrid Coding Scheme for Videophone Images Based on Wireframe Modeling and Subband Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a hybrid coding scheme suitable for coding of facial (videophone) image sequences at bit rates around 10 Kbits/s. The human head and shoulder part are parameterized by a wireframe model called Candide. The synthesized images are produced by a set of 18 parameters. Although the synthetic images generated by this model have subjectively better image quality than, for instance, those produced by traditional video coders (H.261/263), the geometric distortions caused by the model analysis, the motion estimation, and the texture mapping errors may be annoying. This problem is partially solved by extracting the visually important information from the prediction error image and coding them eeciently by a subband coder. Our simulation results show that the hybrid coding scheme provides an improved quality in the decoded image sequence as compared to the model based scheme 1].

In model-based coding of image sequences containing human faces, eg videophone sequences, the detection and location of the face as well as the extraction of facial features from the images are crucial. The facial feature extraction can be regarded as an optimization problem, searching the optimum adaptation parameters of the model. The optimum is defined as the parameter set describing the fac...

In this paper, we propose a new framework for joint encryption encoding scheme based on polar codes, namely efficient and secure joint secret key encryption channel coding scheme. The issue of using new coding structure, i.e. polar codes in Rao-Nam (RN) like schemes is addressed. Cryptanalysis methods show that the proposed scheme has an acceptable level of security with a relatively smaller ke...

The proposed method uses combination of the object-based DCT coding and the high performance of the set partitioni...
متن کاملOrientation adaptive subband coding of images
In the subband coding of images, directionality of image features has thus far been exploited very little. The proposed subband coding scheme utilizes orientation of local image features to avoid the highly objectionable Gibbs-like phenomena observed at reconstructed image edges with conventional subband schemes at low bit rates, At comparable bit rates, the subjective image quality obtained by...
