同时实现水下图像压缩与增强,提升质量并节省带宽
Enhanced Quality Aware-Scalable Underwater Image Compression
- 分层架构:基础层用稀疏系数压缩,增强层细化细节
- 在5个大型数据集上UIQM指标超越现有方法
- 适合海洋探测与水下监控场景的高效图像传输
水下成像在海洋探索和生态监测中至关重要,但受限于传输带宽和水下环境造成的严重失真。本文提出一种增强的质量感知可伸缩水下图像压缩框架,包含基础层(BL)和增强层(EL)。BL通过可控非零稀疏系数表示图像以减少编码比特数;同时利用共享稀疏系数推导出水下图像增强字典,使重建结果接近增强版本。EL设计双分支滤波器,包含粗滤波与细节精修分支,生成伪增强版本以去除残差冗余,并提升最终重建质量。大量实验表明,该方案在五个大规模水下图像数据集上,于水下图像质量度量(UIQM)指标上优于现有最先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Underwater imaging plays a pivotal role in marine exploration and ecological monitoring. However, it faces significant challenges of limited transmission bandwidth and severe distortion in the aquatic environment. In this work, to achieve the target of both underwater image compression and enhancement simultaneously, an enhanced quality-aware scalable underwater image compression framework is presented, which comprises a Base Layer (BL) and an Enhancement Layer (EL). In the BL, the underwater image is represented by controllable number of non-zero sparse coefficients for coding bits saving. Furthermore, the underwater image enhancement dictionary is derived with shared sparse coefficients to make reconstruction close to the enhanced version. In the EL, a dual-branch filter comprising rough filtering and detail refinement branches is designed to produce a pseudo-enhanced version for residual redundancy removal and to improve the quality of final reconstruction. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art works under five large-scale underwater image datasets in terms of Underwater Image Quality Measure (UIQM).
