DeepSIC: Deep Semantic Image Compression

A Hybrid Algorithm based on Deep Learning and Restricted Boltzmann Machine for Car Semantic Segmentation from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)-based Thermal Infrared Images

Nowadays, ground vehicle monitoring (GVM) is one of the areas of application in the intelligent traffic control system using image processing methods. In this context, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on thermal infrared (UAV-TIR) images is one of the optimal options for GVM due to the suitable spatial resolution, cost-effective and low volume of images. The methods that have been prop...

Near-lossless L-infinity constrained Multi-rate Image Decompression via Deep Neural Network

Recently a number of CNN-based techniques were proposed to remove image compression artifacts. As in other restoration applications, these techniques all learn a mapping from decompressed patches to the original counterparts under the ubiquitous `2 metric. However, this approach is incapable of restoring distinctive image details which may be statistical outliers but have high semantic importan...

Semantic-Based Image Retrial in the VQ Compressed Domain using Image Annotation Statistical Models

Semiautomatic Image Retrieval Using the High Level Semantic Labels

Content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. The challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. Hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...

Semantic image compression based on data hiding

This study proposes a novel scheme of semantic image compression. A compressor firstly creates a compact image by gathering a part of pixels in an original image, and calculates estimation errors of the rest pixels. Then, a compressed image is produced by embedding the estimation errors into the compact image using data hiding techniques. This way, the compressed image are made up of a small nu...
