With the emergence of light field imaging in recent years, the compression of its elementary image array (EIA) has become a significant problem. Our coding framework includes modeling and reconstruction. For the modeling, the covariance-matrix form of the 4-D Epanechnikov kernel (4-D EK) and its correlated statistics were deduced to obtain the 4-D Epanechnikov mixture models (4-D EMMs). A 4-D Epanechnikov mixture regression (4-D EMR) was proposed based on this 4-D EK, and a 4-D adaptive model selection (4-D AMLS) algorithm was designed to realize the optimal modeling for a pseudo video sequence (PVS) of the extracted key-EIA. A linear function based reconstruction (LFBR) was proposed based on the correlation between adjacent elementary images (EIs). The decoded images realized a clear outline reconstruction and superior coding efficiency compared to high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) and JPEG 2000 below approximately 0.05 bpp. This work realized an unprecedented theoretical application by (1) proposing the 4-D Epanechnikov kernel theory, (2) exploiting the 4-D Epanechnikov mixture regression and its application in the modeling of the pseudo video sequence of light field images, (3) using 4-D adaptive model selection for the optimal number of models, and (4) employing a linear function-based reconstruction according to the content similarity.
Kernel methods have been studied extensively in recent years. We propose a three-dimensional (3-D) Epanechnikov Mixture Regression (EMR) based on our Epanechnikov Kernel (EK) and realize a complete framework for image coding. In our research, we dedu
In this paper, we present our image compression framework designed for CLIC 2020 competition. Our method is based on Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) architecture which is strengthened with residual structures. In short, we make three noteworthy improve
Recently deep learning-based image compression methods have achieved significant achievements and gradually outperformed traditional approaches including the latest standard Versatile Video Coding (VVC) in both PSNR and MS-SSIM metrics. Two key compo
Image compression using neural networks have reached or exceeded non-neural methods (such as JPEG, WebP, BPG). While these networks are state of the art in ratedistortion performance, computational feasibility of these models remains a challenge. We
