In this paper, we propose a compressed sensing (CS) based Wyner-Ziv (WZ) codec using motion-aligned auto regressive model (MAAR) based side information (SI) extrapolation to improve the compression performance of low-delay distributed video coding (DVC). In the CS based WZ codec, the WZ frame is divided into small blocks and CS measurements of each block are acquired at the encoder, and a specific CS reconstruction algorithm is proposed to correct errors in the SI using CS measurements at the decoder. In order to generate high quality SI, a MAAR model is introduced to improve the inaccurate motion field in auto regressive (AR) model, and the Tikhonov regularization on MAAR coefficients and overlapped block based interpolation are performed to reduce block effects and errors from over-fitting. Simulation experiments show that our proposed CS based WZ codec associated with MAAR based SI generation achieves better results compared to other SI extrapolation methods.

The damaged area of the hyperchaotic image is prone to lack of texture information. It needs to make image restoration design to improve the information expression ability of the image. In this paper, an iterative restoration algorithm of hyperchaotic image based on support vector machine is proposed. The sample blocks in the damaged region of hyperchaotic images are divided into smooth mesh structures according to block segmentation method, and the neighborhood pixels of which points need to repair are ranked efficiently according to gradient values. According to the edge fuzzification features, the position of the important structural information of the damaged area is located. A multi-dimensional spectral peak search method is applied to construct the information feature subspace of image texture, so as to find the best matching block for restoring the damaged region of hyperchaotic image. Considering the features of structural information and texture information, the maximum likelihood algorithm is used to reconstruct the pixel elements in the image region by piecewise fitting. Through the support vector machine algorithm, the image iterative restoration is carried out. The simulation results show that the restoration method for hyperchaotic image can achieve effective restoration of image damaged area, the quality of restorationed image is better, and the computation speed is fast. The image restoration method can effectively ensure the visual effect of the reconstructed image. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 46N30.

Blur is an important type of image distortion. How to evaluate the quality of blurred image accurately and efficiently is a research hotspot in the field of image processing in recent years. Inspired by the multi-scale perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS), this paper presents a no-reference image blur/sharpness assessment method based on multi-scale local features in the spatial domain. First, considering various content has different sensitivity to blur distortion, the image is divided into smooth, edge, and texture regions in blocks. Then, the Gaussian scale space of the image is constructed, and the categorized contrast features between the original image and the Gaussian scale space images are calculated to express the blur degree of different image contents. To simulate the impact of viewing distance on blur distortion, the distribution characteristics of local maximum gradient of multi-resolution images were also calculated in the spatial domain. Finally, the image blur assessment model is obtained by fusing all features and learning the mapping from features to quality scores by support vector regression (SVR). Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on four synthetically blurred databases and one real blurred database. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can produce quality scores more consistent with subjective evaluations than other methods, especially for real burred images.
