SNR-adaptive deep joint source-channel coding for wireless image transmission

Considering the problem of joint source-channel coding (JSCC) for multi-user transmission of images over noisy channels, an autoencoder-based novel deep joint source-channel coding scheme is proposed in this paper. In the proposed JSCC scheme, the decoder can estimate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and use it to adaptively decode the transmitted image. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves impressive results in adaptability for different SNRs and is robust to the decoder's estimation error of the SNR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first deep JSCC scheme that focuses on the adaptability for different SNRs and can be applied to multi-user scenarios.

NormalNet: Learning-based Normal Filtering for Mesh Denoising

Mesh denoising is a critical technology in geometry processing that aims to recover high-fidelity 3D mesh models of objects from their noise-corrupted versions. In this work, we propose a learning-based normal filtering scheme for mesh denoising called NormalNet, which maps the guided normal filtering (GNF) into a deep network. The scheme follows the iterative framework of filtering-based mesh denoising. During each iteration, first, the voxelization strategy is applied on each face in a mesh to transform the irregular local structure into the regular volumetric representation, therefore, both the structure and face normal information are preserved and the convolution operations in CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) can be easily performed. Second, instead of the guidance normal generation and the guided filtering in GNF, a deep CNN is designed, which takes the volumetric representation as input, and outputs the learned filtered normals. At last, the vertex positions are updated according to the filtered normals. Specifically, the iterative training framework is proposed, in which the generation of training data and the network training are alternately performed, whereas the ground truth normals are taken as the guidance normals in GNF to get the target normals. Compared to state-of-the-art works, NormalNet can effectively remove noise while preserving the original features and avoiding pseudo-features.

A nonlinear transform based analog video transmission framework

Soft-cast, a cross-layer design for wireless video transmission, is proposed to solve the drawbacks of digital video transmission: threshold transmission framework achieving the same effect. Specifically, in encoder, we carry out power allocation on the transformed coefficients and encode the coefficients based on the new formulation of power distortion. In decoder, the process of LLSE estimator is also improved. Accompanied with the inverse nonlinear transform, DCT coefficients can be recovered depending on the scaling factors , LLSE estimator coefficients and metadata. Experiment results show that our proposed framework outperforms the Soft-cast in PSNR 1.08 dB and the MSSIM gain reaches to 2.35% when transmitting under the same bandwidth and total power.

High Quality Image Interpolation via Local Autoregressive and Nonlocal 3-D Sparse Regularization

In this paper, we propose a novel image interpolation algorithm, which is formulated via combining both the local autoregressive (AR) model and the nonlocal adaptive 3-D sparse model as regularized constraints under the regularization framework. Estimating the high-resolution image by the local AR regularization is different from these conventional AR models, which weighted calculates the interpolation coefficients without considering the rough structural similarity between the low-resolution (LR) and high-resolution (HR) images. Then the nonlocal adaptive 3-D sparse model is formulated to regularize the interpolated HR image, which provides a way to modify these pixels with the problem of numerical stability caused by AR model. In addition, a new Split-Bregman based iterative algorithm is developed to solve the above optimization problem iteratively. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves significant performance improvements over the traditional algorithms in terms of both objective quality and visual perception
