    Abstract
    

    Rate-Distortion Optimized Quantization (RDOQ) is an encoding optimization technique that may be applied to any transform-based compression technique preserving bitstream compliance with the standard. In the paper, the application of the RDOQ to Motion JPEG is described and evaluated. The proposed solution includes block-level optimization with picture-level Lagrange multiplier estimation. Performed evaluation results in higher compression ratios as compared to typical Motion JPEG.

    Fast and Energy-Efficient Watermarking of HEVC-Compressed Video Bitstreams,

    Abstract
    

    Most research results in video watermarking refer to the embedding of messages into uncompressed video, which needs full decoding and then full encoding of the content. In some applications, such a method is too complex, and watermarking of compressed bitstreams is required. Watermarking of compressed bitstreams is more difficult as the number of bits is very limited, and the compressed video is very sensitive to all modifications that may yield visible artifacts in the decoded watermarked video. In the paper, an original watermarking method is described for HEVC-compressed video. The main idea of the technique is to embed a message into nonzero residual transform coefficients in such a way that potential drift is limited. The watermark detection is based on reference, unwatermarked video. The experimental verification demonstrates the strong robustness of the embedded watermarks.

    HEVC encoding assisted with noise reduction,

    Abstract
    

    Optimization of encoding process in video compression is an important research problem, especially in the case of modern, sophisticated compression technologies. In this paper, we consider HEVC, for which a novel method for selection of the encoding modes is proposed. By the encoding modes we mean e.g. coding block structure, prediction types and motion vectors. The proposed selection is done basing on noise-reduced version of the input sequence, while the information about the video itself, e.g. transform coefficients, is coded basing on the unaltered input. The proposed method involves encoding of two versions of the input sequence. Further, we show realization proving that the complexity is only negligibly higher than complexity of a single encoding. The proposal has been implemented in HEVC reference software from MPEG and tested experimentally. The results show that the proposal provides up to 1.5% bitrate reduction while preserving the same quality of a decoded video.

    Abstract
    

    The paper reports the results on virtual navigation in a sports hall. The video data is gathered and processed off-line thus producing the multiview plus depth representation of a scene. This representation is an input to the rendering server. Even a typical PC computer is able to serve a number of users that freely and independently navigate in real - time and watch virtual video. The users are able to navigate in the scene changing the virtual viewpoint and virtual view direction. The service is provided through a webpage, so a viewer does not need to install any software on smartphone, tablet or notebook. The paper discusses the technical solutions together with the rationale for their choice.

    Abstract
    

    In this paper we introduce an algorithm for omnidirectional virtual view synthesis based on Omnidirectional Video plus Depth (OVD) format. The implementation is done on the basis of View Synthesis Reference Software (VSRS) developed by MPEG of ISO/IEC. Also, we address the problem of lack of benchmark data disallowing objective quality assessment. We present a method for generating test images in OVD representation along with example omnidirectional images and omnidirectional depths, called “Poznan Hall 360”.

    Abstract
    

    The paper deals with optimal bitrate distribution between video and depth maps in multiview compression. Influence of noise in depth data on the optimal bitrate allocation is studied. For simplicity simulcast approach is used. The results show that for high bitrates, virtual view quality depends on the depth map fidelity. However for low bitrates, this influence is negligibly small.

    Z każdym rokiem możliwości układów obliczeniowych (procesorów, układów scalonych) znacznie się zwiększają. Prawo Moore’a mówi, że moc obliczeniowa układów podwaja się co 18-24 miesiące.

    W pracy przedstawiono nową metodą szybkiego wyboru trybu kodowania wewnątrzobrazowego INTRA w koderze standardu HEVC. Podstawą opracowanej metody jest szczegółowa wiedza o częstości wybierania przez koder poszczególnych trybów kodowania wewnątrzobrazowego, w zależności od żądanej prędkości bitowej, rozdzielczości obrazu oraz jakości zakodowanego obrazu. Realizacja programowa opracowanej metody pozwoliła na pokazanie, że można płynnie regulować stopień przyspieszenia kodera i efektywność kodowania za jego pomocą.

    Abstract
    

    The paper presents the concept of a practical free-viewpoint television system with purely optical depth estimation. The system consists of camera modules that contain pairs or triples of cameras together with the respective microphones. The camera modules can be sparsely located in arbitrary positions around a scene. Each camera module is equivalent to a video camera with a depth sensor and microphones. The hardware requirements, the video and audio processing algorithms and the preliminary experimental results are reported. In particular, for such systems, a compression technique is discussed that is more efficient than the new 3D-HEVC technology. A set of new test sequences obtained with the use of camera pairs are presented.

    Abstract
    

    Possibility of selection of a particular reference picture from many previously encoded frames is one of the reasons of significant extension of time necessary for encoding of a video sequence with HEVC. Search of motion vectors within all available reference pictures for every PU (allowed by the HEVC standard) and selecting the best one, significantly enhances coding effectiveness but requires big computational effort leading to long encoding time. A fast method for selection of the best reference picture would be a source of shortening of the encoding time. This documents reports and verifies a method for fast reference picture selection in which reference picture list is pruned basing on the size of the PU under consideration. This way the number of reference picture necessary to look at the during motion vector search is reduced. Foundations of the reported method are the results of statistical analysis of the actual selected reference picture (considered by the encoder as the best in terms of RD) during encoding of the particular PU size.

    The paper presents analysis and comparison of complexity of selected algorithms of motion estimation used in video compression. With the use of own, highly optimized software implementation the authors explored complexity of the methods applied in the framework of the new High Efficiency Video Compression (HEVC) technology. The influence of many different factors on motion estimation complexity has been deeply studied, including the implementation technique, type of the algorithm, number of processor threads used, kind of metric of blocks similarity. The results obtained allowed to formulate guidelines and conclusions that may be useful for future implementation of motion estimation algorithms in context of HEVC encoders.

    Abstract
    

    Compression of moving images has opened unprecedented opportunities of transmission and storage of digital video. Extraordinary performance of today’s video codecs is a result of tens of years of work on the development of methods of data encoding. This paper is an attempt to show this history of development. It highlights the history of individual algorithms of data encoding as well as the evolution of video compression technologies as a whole. With the development of successive technologies also functionalities of codecs were evolving, which make also the topic of the paper. The paper ends the attempt of authors’ forecasting about the future evolution of video compression technologies.

    Abstract
    

    ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG have recently jointly issued a new multiview video compression standard, called 3D-HEVC, which reaches unpreceded compression performances for linear, dense camera arrangements. In view of supporting future high-quality, auto-stereoscopic 3D displays and Free Navigation virtual/augmented reality applications with sparse, arbitrarily arranged camera setups, innovative depth estimation and virtual view synthesis techniques with global optimizations over all camera views should be developed. Preliminary studies in response to the MPEG-FTV (Free viewpoint TV) Call for Evidence suggest these targets are within reach, with at least 6% bitrate gains over 3D-HEVC technology.

    The paper reports the results of the experiments conducted on the HEVC encoder, regarding the complexity and performance of the motion estimation algorithm. The research focuses on the search range of motion vectors and its influence on the encoding time of the video with the use of a HEVC encoder, as well as on the method for choosing the starting point of the motion estimation algorithm. Performance is measured as the time reduction and Bjontegaard metric bitrate reduction.

    Abstract
    

    Rate-Distortion Optimized Quantization (RDOQ) is an encoding optimization technique that may be modified with no implications to the bitstream compliance with the standard. In the paper, we propose an RDOQ variant with exact cost estimation resulting in higher compression ratios as compared to HEVC Test Model. This improvement is obtained at the cost of the complexity increase that may be scaled by replacing the individual steps of exact estimation by the simplified ones from HEVC Test Model. In that way, a family of RDOQ variants is created. The performance of the exact variant from this paper defines a kind of the performance limit for RDOQ.

    The paper reports the hitherto obtained results of the research project that deals with scene representations that are suitable for free navigation around the scene. These scene representations are acquired from a limited number of cameras located around the scene. The project is aimed at the development of an efficient compression technology and the experimental environment for testing such technology. The paper reports some new multiview test sequences with the circular camera arrangement, including the hybrid ones that have been acquired using also the depth sensors. Finally, the paper also briefly reports the recent results of the new compression technology being under development. This technology outperforms the state-of-the-art 3D-HEVC.

    In this paper, a detailed analysis of the content of the bitstream, produced by the HEVC video encoder is presented. With the use of the HM 10.0 reference software the following statistics were investigated: 1) the amount of data in the encoded stream related to individual frame types, 2) the relationship between the value of the QP and the size of the bitstream at the output of the encoder, 3) contribution of individual types of data to I and B frames. The above mentioned aspects have been thoroughly explored for a wide range of target bitrates. The obtained results became the basis for highlighting guidelines that allow for efficient bitrate control in the HEVC encoder.

    Abstract
    

    For the new HEVC compression technology, the analysis of accumulation of quality losses in multi-generation coding is still an open problem. In this paper, we describe the results of extensive experiments that demonstrate quality loss accumulation in 300 encoding-decoding cycles using the HEVC codec in the All Intra mode. For consecutive encoding cycles with constant encoder configuration, the coding quality loss decrease much slower than for JPEG 2000. However, for SD resolution, the HEVC intra-only encoder provides lower bitrates than JPEG 2000 with the same video quality. Therefore, even after 300 cycles, the HEVC All Intra usually provides lower bitrates than JPEG 2000 with the same decoded-video quality.

    In this paper the results obtained for homogenous Cascaded Pixel Domain Transcoder of AVC bitstreams are reported in order to show the expected transcoding efficiency gain/loss. A wide set of test video sequences has been used in experiments and in total 19200 bitstreams have been encoded and examined. It has been proved that there is a universal dependency between the quality, defined as ΔPSNR and bitstream reduction. ΔPSNR is described as the difference between quality of the transcoded material and the original material that could potentially be encoded at the same bitrate as the transcoded one.

    Digital Watermarking with Local Strength Adjustment for AVC-Compressed HDTV Bitstreams,
    30th Picture Coding Symposium, PCS 2013, San Jose, CA, USA, 8-11 December 2013, pp. 53-56,

    Abstract
    

    A computationally inexpensive watermark schema for MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 streams that use local mark strength adjustment minimizing visible artifacts is presented. The local mark strength adjustment mechanism and watermark embedding mechanism operate on residual data. This approach minimize the number of operations needed for video bitstream decoding and subsequent watermarked video data encoding. The experimental results included herein, described for real-world MPEG4 AVC/H.264 encoded HDTV video bitstreams prove its robustness to complex attacks, especially camcorder recording attack.

     High Efficiency 3D Video Coding Using New Tools Based on View Synthesis,

     Abstract
     

     We propose a new coding technology for 3D video represented by multiple views and the respective depth maps. The proposed technology is demonstrated as an extension of the recently developed high efficiency video coding (HEVC). One base views are compressed into a standard bitstream (like in HEVC). The remaining views and the depth maps are compressed using new coding tools that mostly rely on view synthesis. In the decoder, those views and the depth maps are derived via synthesis in the 3D space from the decoded baseview and from data corresponding to small disoccluded regions. The shapes and locations of those disoccluded regions can be derived by the decoder without any side information transmitted. To achieve high compression efficiency, we propose several new tools such as depth-based motion prediction, joint high frequency layer coding, consistent depth representation, and nonlinear depth representation. The experiments show high compression efficiency of the proposed technology. The bitrate needed for transmission of two side views with depth maps is mostly less than 50% than that of the bitrate for a single-view video.

     Abstract
     

     The paper describes watermarking of compressed video bitstreams. This technique is proven to be very fast and robust against various attacks including camcorder recording attack. The watermark is embedded using indirect modifications of transform coefficients in selected P- and B-frames. In the watermarked bitstream there exist sequences of watermarked pictures interleaved with sequences of unmodified pictures. The unmodified pictures serve as a reference for the watermark detection. The experimental results described for real-world MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoded HDTV video bitstreams are included.
