Distributed compressive video sensing (DCVS) is a low cost sampling paradigm for video coding based on the compressive sensing and the distributed video coding. In this paper, we propose using a skip-mode coding in DCVS under the assumption that in case of high temporal correlation, temporal interpolation can guarantee sufficiently good quality of nonkey frame, therefore no need to transmit measurement data in such a nonkey frame. Furthermore, we extend it to use a hierarchical structure for better temporal interpolation. Simulation results show that the proposed skip-mode coding can save the average subrate of whole video sequence while the PSNR is reduced only slightly. In addition, by using the proposed scheme, the computational complexity is also highly decreased at decoder on average by 43.75% for video sequences that have strong temporal correlation.

To improve the rate-distortion performance of distributed video compressive sensing (DVCS), the adaptive sparse basis and nonlocal similarity of video are proposed to jointly reconstruct the video signal in this paper. Due to the lack of motion information between frames and the appearance of some noises in the reference frames, the sparse dictionary, which is constructed using the examples directly extracted from the reference frames, has already not better obtained the sparse representation of the interpolated block. This paper proposes a method to construct the sparse dictionary. Firstly, the example-based data matrix is constructed by using the motion information between frames, and then the principle components analysis (PCA) is used to compute some significant principle components of data matrix. Finally, the sparse dictionary is constructed by these significant principle components. The merit of the proposed sparse dictionary is that it can not only adaptively change in terms of the spatial-temporal characteristics, but also has ability to suppress noises. Besides, considering that the sparse priors cannot preserve the edges and textures of video frames well, the nonlocal similarity regularization term has also been introduced into reconstruction model. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the objective and subjective quality of video frame, and achieve the better rate-distortion performance of DVCS system at the cost of a certain computational complexity.

Recently, distributed compressed video sensing (DCVS) has been actively studied in order to achieve a low complexity video encoder by integrating both compressed sensing and distributed video coding characteristics. Conventionally, a motion compensated block compressed sensing with smoothed projected Landweber (MC-BCS-SPL) has been considered as an effective scheme of DCVS with all compressed sensing frames pursuing the simplest sampling. In this scheme, video frames are separately classified into key frames and WZ frames. However, when reconstructing WZ frame with conventional MC-BCS-SPL scheme at the decoder side, the visual qualities are poor for temporally active video sequences. In this paper, to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional scheme, an enhanced MC-BCS-SPL algorithm is proposed, which corrects the initial image with reference to the key frame using a high correlation between adjacent key frames. The proposed scheme is analyzed with respect to GOP (Group of Pictures) structuring method. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than conventional MC-BCS-SPL in rate-distortion.

Recently, remote sensing video applications have become increasingly important in many wireless networks. Distributed compressive video sensing (DCVS) framework in these applications has been studied to reduce encoding complexity and to simultaneously capture and compress video data. Specially, a motion compensated block compressed sensing with smoothed projected Landweber (MC-BCS-SPL) has been actively researched for one useful algorithm of DCVS schemes, However, conventional MC-BCS-SPL schemes do not provide good visual qualities in reconstructed Wyner-Ziv (WZ) frames. In this paper, the conventional schemes of MC-BCS-SPL are described and then upgraded to provide better visual qualities in WZ frames by introducing reliability estimate between adjacent key frames and by constructing efficiently motion-compensated interpolated frames. Through experimental results, it is shown that the proposed algorithm is effective in providing better visual qualities than conventional algorithm.

For The Purpose of Pursuing the Simplest Sampling, a Motion Compensated Block Compressed Sensing with Smoothed Projected Landweber (MC-BCS-SPL) has been Studied for an Effective Scheme of Distributed Compressive Video Sensing with all Compressed Sensing (CS) Frames. However, Conventional MC-BCS-SPL Scheme is Very Simple and so it Does not Provide Good Visual Qualities in Reconstructed Wyner-Ziv (WZ) Frames. In this Paper, the Conventional Scheme of MC-BCS-SPL is Modified to Provide Better Visual Qualities in WZ Frames. That is, the Proposed Agorithm is Designed in such a way that the Reference Frame may be Adaptively Selected Based on the Temporal Correlation Between Successive Frames. Several Experimental Results show that the Proposed Algorithm Provides Better Visual Qualities than Conventional Algorithm.

Compressed video sensing (CVS) is one of the 5G application of compressed sensing (CS) to video coding. Block-based residual reconstruction is used in CVS to explore temporal redundancy in videos. However, most current studies on CVS focus on random measurements without quantization, and thus they are not suitable for practical applications. In this study, an efficient ratecontrol scheme combining measurement rate and quantization for residual reconstruction in CVS is proposed. The quantization effects on CS measurements and recovery for video signals are first analyzed. Based on this, a mathematical relationship between quantitative distortion (QD), sampling rate (SR), and the quantization parameter (QP) is derived. Moreover, a novel distortion model that exhibits the relationship between QD, SR, and QP is presented, if statistical independency between the QD and the CS reconstruction distortion is assumed. Then, using this model, a rate-distortion (RD) optimized rate allocation algorithm is proposed, whereby it is possible to derive the values of SR and QP that maximize visual quality according to the available channel bandwidth.

In Wyner-Ziv coding, video signals are reconstructed by correcting side information generated by block-based motion estimation/compensation at the decoder. The correction is not always accurate due to the limited number of parity bits and early stopping of low-density parity check accumulate (LDPCA) decoding in distributed video coding, or due to the limited number of measurements in distributed compressive video sensing. The blocking artifacts caused by block-based processing are usually conspicuous in smooth areas and degrade the perceptual quality of the reconstructed video. Conventional deblocking filters try to remove the artifacts by treating both sides of the block boundary equally; however, coding errors generated by block-based processing are not necessarily the same on both sides of the block boundaries. Such a block-wise difference is exploited in this paper to improve deblocking for Wyner-Ziv frameworks by designing a filter where the deblocking strength at each block can be non-identical, depending on the reliability of the reconstructed pixels. Test results show that the proposed filter not only improves subjective quality by reducing the coding artifacts considerably, but also gains rate distortion performance.
