Residual Reconstruction Algorithm Based on Half-Pixel Multi-Hypothesis Prediction for Distributed Compressive Video Sensing

Abstract

Compressed sensing (CS) provides a method to sample and reconstruct sparse signals far below the Nyquist sampling rate, which has great potential in image/video acquisition and processing. In order to fully exploit the spatial and temporal characteristics of video frame and the coherence between successive frames, we propose a half-pixel interpolation based residual reconstruction method for distributed compressive video sensing (DCVS). At the decoding end, half-pixel interpolation and bi-directional motion estimation helps refine the side information for joint decoding of the non-key-frames. We apply a multi-hypothesis based on residual reconstruction algorithms to reconstruct the non-key-frames. Performance analysis and simulation experiments show that the quality of side information generated by the proposed algorithm is increased by about 1.5dB, with video reconstruction quality increased 0.3~2dB in PSNR, when compared with prior works on DCVS.
