Temporal dependent rate-distortion optimization based on distortion backward propagation by Hongwei GUO, Ce ZHU, Xu YANG, Lei LUO

“…Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) is a crucial technique in block based hybrid video encoders.However, the widely used independent RDO is far from obtaining optimal coding performance.To improve the rate-distortion (R-D) performance of high efficiency video coding (HEVC), a temporal dependent RDO algorithm was proposed.Firstly, the formula to calculate temporal distortion propagation factor was derived by using an exponential R-D function.Then, the coding distortion and motion compensation predicted error were obtained by pre-encoding, and the temporal distortion propagation factor was estimated by using distortion backward propagation.Finally, the Lagrange multiplier and quantization parameter of coding tree unit were adaptively adjusted to optimize bit resources allocation.Experimental results show that compared with the original RDO method in HEVC under the low-delay configuration, the proposed algorithm achieves an average 4.4% bit rate reduction for all test sequences, and up to 13.0% bit rate reduction for test sequence BasketballDrill, at the same reconstructed video quality.…”

A Wi-Fi sensing method for complex continuous human activities based on CNN-BiGRU by Yang LIU, Anming DONG, Jiguo YU, Kai ZHAO, You ZHOU

“…Human activity sensing based on Wi-Fi channel state information (CSI) has an important application prospect in future intelligent interaction scenarios such as virtual reality, intelligent games, and the metaverse.Accurate sensing of complex and continuous human activities is an important challenge for Wi-Fi sensing.Convolutional neural network (CNN) has the ability of spatial feature extraction but is poor at modeling the temporal features of the data.While long short-term memory (LSTM) network or gated recurrent unit (GRU) network, which are suitable for modeling time-series data, neglect learning spatial features of data.In order to solve this problem, an improved CNN that integrates bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BiGRU) network was proposed.The bi-directional feature extraction ability of BiGRU was used to capture the correlation and dependence of the front and back information in the time series data.The extraction of the spatiotemporal features of the time series CSI data was realized, and then the mapping relationship between the action and the CSI data was present.Thus the recognition accuracy of the complex continuous action was improved.The proposed network structure was tested with basketball actions.The results show that the recognition accuracy of this method is above 95% under various conditions.Compared with the traditional multi-layer perceptron (MLP), CNN, LSTM, GRU, and attention based bidirectional long short-term memory (ABLSTM) baseline methods, the recognition accuracy has been improved by 1%～20%.…”
