Abstract

In this paper, we improve the inter coding performance of surveillance videos by simultaneously investigating the distinct characteristics of background and foreground redundancy, and introduce two novel reference frames in a complementary manner. On one hand, a block level background reference frame (BRF) is proposed to reduce the background redundancy. The proposed scheme incorporates semantic information into the compression process, and makes use of instance segmentation to facilitate the background block decision, making the generated BRF free from foreground pollution. On the other hand, in order to handle foreground redundancy, a foreground reference frame (FRF) is generated based on Surveillance Prediction Generative Adversarial Network (SP-GAN), which utilizes previous reconstructed frames, optical flow based prediction, as well as BRF to infer the foreground objects of the to-be-coded frame. We integrate the proposed scheme into HM-16.6 software and append BRF and FRF to the reference pictures list (RPS). Simulation results demonstrate considerable superiority of the proposed scheme. In particular, by adding the proposed BRF to RPS, 3% coding gains are observed compared with the state-of-the-art BRF method. When both BRF and FRF are incorporated into RPS, 5.8% gains are achieved for surveillance video coding.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Video compression involves reducing the size of video data to make it easier to store and transmit without sacrificing too much quality, which optimizes the use of bandwidth and reduces the cost of data storage and the transmission time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
