Needs of multimedia systems evolved due to the evolution of their architecture which is now distributed into heterogeneous contexts. A critical issue lies in the fact that they handle, process, and transmit multimedia data. This data integrates several properties which should be considered since it holds a considerable part of its semantics, for instance the lips synchronization in a video. In this paper, we focus on the definition of a model as a basic abstraction for describing and modeling media in multimedia systems by taking into account their properties. This model will be used in software architecture in order to handle data in efficient way. The provided model is an interesting solution for the integration of media into applications; we propose to consider and to handle them in a uniform way. This model is proposed with synchronization policies to ensure synchronous transport of media. Therefore, we use it in a component model that we develop for the design and deployment of distributed multimedia systems.

Steganography represents the art of unobtrusively concealing a secrete message within some cover data. The key scope of this work is about visual steganography techniques that hide a full-sized color image / video within another. A majority of existi
ng works are devoted to the image case, where both secret and cover data are images. We empirically validate that image steganography model does not naturally extend to the video case (i.e., hiding a video into another video), mainly because it completely ignores the temporal redundancy within consecutive video frames. Our work proposes a novel solution to the problem of video steganography. The technical contributions are two-fold: first, the residual between two consecutive frames tends to zero at most pixels. Hiding such highly-sparse data is significantly easier than hiding the original frames. Motivated by this fact, we propose to explicitly consider inter-frame residuals rather than blindly applying image steganography model on every video frame. Specifically, our model contains two branches, one of which is specially designed for hiding inter-frame difference into a cover video frame and the other instead hides the original secret frame. A simple thresholding method determines which branch a secret video frame shall choose. When revealing the concealed secret video, two decoders are devised, revealing difference or frame respectively. Second, we develop the model based on deep convolutional neural networks, which is the first of its kind in the literature of video steganography. In experiments, comprehensive evaluations are conducted to compare our model with both classic least significant bit (LSB) method and pure image steganography models. All results strongly suggest that the proposed model enjoys advantages over previous methods. We also carefully investigate key factors in the success of our deep video steganography model.
Immersive video offers the freedom to navigate inside virtualized environment. Instead of streaming the bulky immersive videos entirely, a viewport (also referred to as field of view, FoV) adaptive streaming is preferred. We often stream the high-qua
lity content within current viewport, while reducing the quality of representation elsewhere to save the network bandwidth consumption. Consider that we could refine the quality when focusing on a new FoV, in this paper, we model the perceptual impact of the quality variations (through adapting the quantization stepsize and spatial resolution) with respect to the refinement duration, and yield a product of two closed-form exponential functions that well explain the joint quantization and resolution induced quality impact. Analytical model is cross-validated using another set of data, where both Pearson and Spearmans rank correlation coefficients are close to 0.98. Our work is devised to optimize the adaptive FoV streaming of the immersive video under limited network resource. Numerical results show that our proposed model significantly improves the quality of experience of users, with about 9.36% BD-Rate (Bjontegaard Delta Rate) improvement on average as compared to other representative methods, particularly under the limited bandwidth.
Datasets representing the world around us are becoming ever more unwieldy as data volumes grow. This is largely due to increased measurement and modelling resolution, but the problem is often exacerbated when data are stored at spuriously high precis
ions. In an effort to facilitate analysis of these datasets, computationally intensive calculations are increasingly being performed on specialised remote servers before the reduced data are transferred to the consumer. Due to bandwidth limitations, this often means data are displayed as simple 2D data visualisations, such as scatter plots or images. We present here a novel way to efficiently encode and transmit 4D data fields on-demand so that they can be locally visualised and interrogated. This nascent 4D video format allows us to more flexibly move the boundary between data server and consumer client. However, it has applications beyond purely scientific visualisation, in the transmission of data to virtual and augmented reality.
Nowadays, most existing blind image quality assessment (BIQA) models 1) are developed for synthetically-distorted images and often generalize poorly to authentic ones; 2) heavily rely on human ratings, which are prohibitively labor-expensive to colle
ct. Here, we propose an $opinion$-$free$ BIQA method that learns from synthetically-distorted images and multiple agents to assess the perceptual quality of authentically-distorted ones captured in the wild without relying on human labels. Specifically, we first assemble a large number of image pairs from synthetically-distorted images and use a set of full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) models to assign pseudo-binary labels of each pair indicating which image has higher quality as the supervisory signal. We then train a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based BIQA model to rank the perceptual quality, optimized for consistency with the binary labels. Since there exists domain shift between the synthetically- and authentically-distorted images, an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) module is introduced to alleviate this issue. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed $opinion$-$free$ BIQA model, yielding state-of-the-art performance in terms of correlation with human opinion scores, as well as gMAD competition. Codes will be made publicly available upon acceptance.
Vector quantization is an essential tool for tasks involving large scale data, for example, large scale similarity search, which is crucial for content-based information retrieval and analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel vector quantization fr
amework that iteratively minimizes quantization error. First, we provide a detailed review on a relevant vector quantization method named textit{residual vector quantization} (RVQ). Next, we propose textit{generalized residual vector quantization} (GRVQ) to further improve over RVQ. Many vector quantization methods can be viewed as the special cases of our proposed framework. We evaluate GRVQ on several large scale benchmark datasets for large scale search, classification and object retrieval. We compared GRVQ with existing methods in detail. Extensive experiments demonstrate our GRVQ framework substantially outperforms existing methods in term of quantization accuracy and computation efficiency.
