Scalable video coding algorithm based on 3D hybrid tree and visual characteristics by Ming-zhe FU, Xiang-hai WANG, Chuan-ming SONG

“…The distribution characteristic of three-dimensional wavelet coefficients of video data was ana ed,and a scalable video coding algorithm was subsequently addressed based on hybrid three-dimensional tree and human visual system (HVS) characteristics.First,the hybrid tree structure was adaptively determined according to the auto-correlation of low-pass and high-pass coefficients.It reduced obviously the number of ion bits locating significant wavelet coefficients when scanning and processing low-pass and high-pass coefficients in temporal dimension.Second,each wavelet coefficient was weighted in terms of HVS sensitivity to its corresponding subband.Significant coefficients thus tended to be coded with high priority and arranged at the front of bitstream,and the reconstructed video quality was improved at low and medium bitrates to a great extent.Experimental results in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm on several test videos with varying characteristics.0.65dB,1.75dB,and 1.77dB higher PSNR are gained than asymmetric 3-D orientation tree for Y,U,and V components,respectively.Moreover,0.23dB,2.11dB,and 1.72dB higher PSNR are reached than single temporal-spatial orientation tree separately for Y,U,and V components.Besides,better subjective quality is obtained through effectively attenuating ringing artifact.…”

Survey on intellectual property protection for deep learning model by Xinya WANG, Guang HUA, Hao JIANG, Haijian ZHANG

“…With the rapid development of deep learning technology, deep learning models have been widely used in many fields such as image classification and speech recognition.Training a deep learning model relies on a large amount of data and computing power, thus selling the trained model or providing specific services (DLaaS, e.g.) has become a new business.However, the commercial interests of model trainers and the intellectual property rights of model developers may be violated if the model is maliciously stolen.With deep neural network watermarking becoming a new research topic, multimedia copyright protection techniques were used for deep learning model protection.Numerous methods have been proposed in this field and then a comprehensive survey is needed.the existing deep neural network watermarking methods were elaborated and summarized and the future research directions of this field were discussed.The overall framework of neural network watermarking was presented, whereby the basic concepts such as classification model and model backdoor were introduced.Secondly, the existing methods were divided into two types according to the mechanism of watermark embedding, one is to embed the watermark bits into the carrier of internal information of the network, and the other one uses the established backdoor mapping as the watermark.These two existing deep neural network watermarking methods were analyzed and summarized, and attacks to the watermarks were also introduced and discussed.By analyzing the white-box and black-box conditions in watermarking scenario, it comes to the conclusion that the model is difficult to be effectively protected when it is distributed in the white-box manner, and the neural network watermark defenses in the black-box distribution and black-box verification are both worthy for further research.…”
