Virtual reality compressing and transmitting system based on mobile edge computing by Bin TAN, Songyuan ZHAO, Jun WU, Wenru ZHANG

“…In order to solve the problem of the high requirements of data transmission rate and sensitivity to transmission delay in virtual reality (VR) based on cloud services,a Cloud VR system with MEC (mobile edge computing) was proposed,mainly including viewpoint-based VR processing and HDA (hybrid digital-analog) transmission optimization.Firstly,a dynamic streaming method based on user viewpoint and pyramid projection was used to implement a complete edge cloud VR system.Then,HDA transmission was introduced to optimize the transmission,and a heuristic algorithm for resource allocation was given.Finally,the base station protocol stack was transformed,and the MEC was integrated into the LTE (long term evolution) system to implement a complete mobile edge cloud VR system.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed scheme has good robustness and efficient transmission by comparing with the existing schemes.…”

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.…”
