Title: Learning-based Image and Video Coding

Organizers: João Ascenso (Instituto Superior Técnico), Elena Alshina (Huawei)

Description: Image and video coding algorithms create compact representations of an image by exploiting its spatial redundancy and perceptual irrelevance, thus exploiting the characteristics of the human visual system. Recently, data-driven algorithms such as neural networks have attracted a lot of attention and become a popular area of research and development. This interest is driven by several factors, such as recent advances in processing power (cheap and powerful hardware), the availability of large data sets (big data), and several algorithmic and architectural advances (e.g. generative adversarial networks).

Nowadays, neural networks are the state-of-the-art for several computer vision tasks, such as those requiring a high-level understanding of image semantics, e.g. image classification, object segmentation, saliency detection, but also low-level image processing tasks, such as image denoising, inpainting, and super-resolution. These advances have led to an increased interest in applying deep neural networks to image and video coding, which is now the main focus of the JPEG AI and the JVET NN activities within the JPEG and MPEG standardization committees.

The aim of these novel image and video coding solutions is to design a compact representation model that has been obtained (learned) from a large amount of visual data and can efficiently represent the wide variety of images and videos that are consumed today. Some of the available learning-based image coding solutions already show very promising experimental results in terms of rate-distortion (RD) performance, notably in comparison with conventional standard image codecs (especially HEVC Intra and VVC Intra) which code the image data with hand-crafted transforms, entropy coding, and quantization schemes.

This special session on Learning-based Image and Video Coding gathers technical contributions that demonstrate the efficient coding of image and video content based on a learning-based approach. This topic has received many contributions in recent years and is considered critical for the future of both image and video coding, especially solutions adopting end-to-end training as well as for solutions where learning-based tools replace previous conventional tools.

IEEE VCIP 2021: Call for Special Session Proposals

2021 International Conference on Visual Communications and Image Processing (VCIP)

Munich, Germany, December 5-8, 2021

https://vcip2021.org/

Call for Special Session Proposals [PDF]

The 2021 International Conference on Visual Communications and Image Processing (VCIP), sponsored by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, will be held in Munich, Germany, December 5-8, 2021.

As usual, special sessions complement the regular program of VCIP 2021. They are intended to provide a sample of the state-of-the-art and also to highlight important emerging research directions in fields of particular interest to the VCIP participants. The idea is to have a focused effort on a ‘special topic’ rather than a broad focus.

This Call is inviting Special Session Proposals from the visual communications and image processing community according to the requirements defined below.

Requirements

The target for each Special Session is four papers. The following information should be included in the proposal:

• Title of the proposed special session
• Names and affiliations of the organizers (including brief bio and contact info)
• Session abstract (approx. 250 words) including the motivation and significance of the topic, and the rationale for the proposed special session
• List of invited papers (including a tentative title, author list, and abstract for each paper)
• Optionally, the proposal should describe how the special session will be organized at VCIP in order to make it truly a special event

In addition to invited papers, other potential authors will be allowed to submit papers to Special Sessions. 

All submitted special session papers shall conform to the format and length requirements of the regular session papers. If a special session has more than 4 papers being accepted, some of the papers will be moved to the regular paper sessions of the conference.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and relevance to VCIP, as well as the track record of the organizers and anticipated quality of papers in the proposed session. Kindly note that all papers in a special session will be peer-reviewed following the regular paper review process to ensure that the contributions are of the highest quality.

To submit a special session proposal (in a single PDF file) or for additional information regarding the special sessions, please contact Special Session Co-Chairs: Fernando Pereira (fp@lx.it.pt) and Christian Timmerer (christian.timmerer@aau.at).

Important Dates

• Special Session proposal submission deadline: 28 March 2021
• Special Session proposal acceptance notification: 11 April 2021
• Special Session paper submission: 8 June 2021
• Paper acceptance notification: 6 September 2021

QoMEX'17 Review: Down the Rabbit Hole - Immersive Experience

During QoMEX 2017 in Erfurt, Germany we had a special session entitled "Down the Rabbit Hole" which I have introduced here already. The papers of the special session will appear soon in IEEEXplore but together with my co-organizers of this special session -- Raimund Schatz and Judith Redi -- we also wanted to run the special session in a special way. Therefore, we asked authors to prepare concise and thought-provoking paper presentations (~15min incl. Q&A -- paper title, presenter, picture, key words below) to save some time for a panel discussion. Surprisingly, it worked very well and the special session turned out to be worthwhile and informative. In order to keep the audience connected and involved we posted a single slide of all panelists (i.e., paper presenters) which was shown all the time (see below).

The discussion was centered around the question "what is your understanding of a fully immersive experience" which revealed interesting aspects and finally resulted in the main challenge how to quantify immersive experience. In this context, Mr. T. (only those who've been at QoMEX and in this session know why he is called Mr. T. -- join us next time and we will explain you what's behind) raised an interesting idea to interpret the Turing test for immersive experience. That is, fully or truly immersive experience is achieved if a human is no longer aware that she/he actually interacts with cyber-physical systems. I think this statement sets the bar (high) but definitely worth to consider.

Finally, I'd like to thank all presenters/panelists for an amazing special session at QoMEX'17 but the journey is not yet over. I'll be attending ACM MMSys and IEEE ICME presenting/discussing various aspects of immersive experiences; also at the MPEG meeting in Torino which will be dedicated to standardization aspects of immersive experiences.

Also big big thanks to the conference organizers, the team around the general chair Alexander Raake
(TU Ilmenau, Germany), for hosting such a wonderful event! Hope seeing you all next year for QoMEX 2018.

Feel free to test/play around with Bitmovin solutions for VR/360-degree streaming and if you have a RICOH THETA S check out my blog post how to setup a live streaming session.

Come and join us on the journey down the rabbit hole which eventually will lead to wonderland.

QoMEX'17 Special Session 2: Down the Rabbit Hole – General Aspects of VR and the Immersion Experience

QoMEX 2017

Motivation

Currently, we witness a proliferation of new products and applications based on immersive media technologies – exemplified best by the current “VR hype” causing a flurry of new devices and applications to hit the market place. The potential of immersive media is large, however, investigation and application of QoE in this context is still in its infancy as many issues are not yet understood. Consequently, the multimedia-quality community faces new, rapidly moving research targets, resulting in the following overarching questions:

• What is the interplay between concepts like Immersion, Presence, Interactivity, Multimedia Quality and User Experience in the context of emerging immersive applications and technologies?
• What should be the role of QoE in this domain?
• How to characterize, assess, model and manage QoE for immersive media-rich applications?

This special session aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and discuss quality-related issues and topics in the field of immersive media. The goal is to highlight the major challenges the multimedia quality community should target in this dynamically evolving domain and identify ways forward to addressing them effectively.

All QoMEX'17 special sessions can be found here.

Standards developing organizations (SDOs) such as MPEG have developed various technologies for multimedia transport, e.g., MPEG-2 TS (Transport Stream) and MP4 file format. These technologies have been widely accepted and heavily used by various industries and applications, such as digital broadcasting, audio and video transport over the Internet and streaming to mobile phones, etc. At the same time, many other SDOs such as the IETF, IEEE, and 3GPP have been providing various protocols to deliver multimedia content packetized or packaged by such MPEG transport technologies.

Recently, broadcasting services and mobile services have started converging, and it is expected that this convergence trend will continue with other services. Additionally, new emerging multimedia services are being introduced. These developments in the multimedia arena mean that various content and services will be delivered over different networks, and the users expect to consume these services using those networks, depending on the availability and reach of the network at the time of consumption. To deploy efficient solutions for the transport of modern media in an interoperable and universal fashion, especially given the recent increased demand in the heterogeneous network environment, there is urgency for an international multimedia transport standard.

The main objectives of modern media transport are (but not limited to):

• Efficient delivery of media in an adaptive fashion over various networks with the main emphasis on IP-based networks including terrestrial, satellite, and cable broadcast networks,
• Enable the use of cross-layer designs to improve the Quality of Service/Experience (QoS/QoE),
• Enable building integrated services with multiple components for hybrid delivery over heterogeneous network environments,
• Enable bi-directional low-delay services and applications, such as online gaming and conversational services,
• Enable efficient signaling, delivery and utilization of multiple content protection and rights management tools.
• Enable efficient content forwarding and relaying,
• Enable efficient one-to-many delivery,
• Provision means for resiliency against errors and packet losses.

Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH)
In recent years, the Internet has become an important channel for delivery of multimedia. The HTTP protocol is widely used on the Internet. Recently, it has also become a primary protocol for the delivery of multimedia content, and a number of proprietary solutions are available. This special session solicits novel contributions and breaking results on all aspects of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) and Modern Media Transport. In addition to the main objectives introduced above, we are also interested in (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Efficient delivery of modern media over HTTP in an adaptive, progressive download/streaming fashion,
• Support for streaming of live multimedia content,
• Efficient and ease of use of existing content distribution infrastructure components such as CDNs, proxies, caches, NATs and firewalls;
• Efficient mapping from existing formats (e.g., MPEG-2 TS, MP4) to delivery formats specifically designed for HTTP streaming.

Important Dates

• Paper submission: October 29th, 2010
• Acceptance notification: December 1st, 2010
• Camera-ready submission: December 15th, 2010
