Control Principle

<span>This paper addresses the issue of interruption of Virable Bit Rate (VBR) video streaming over IP network, due to channel quality fluctuation. Specifically, a Fuzzy Logic (FL) Control principle is fused with Adaptive Media Playout (AMP) control to estimate an appropriate playout frame rate, namely FLAMP. Based on the estimation of the playout frame rate, the FLAMP algorithm adjusts the consumption rate smoothly to avoid video stream degradation. Simulation results validate that the FLAMP scheme efficiently reduces the buffer outage probability and provides better visual quality where FLAMP gives 26.5% less ferquence of playout interruption, and 21.6% less variance of distortion of playout as compared to APTA.</span>

Picture Type

Bluetooth's default automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme is not suited to video distribution resulting in missed display and decoded deadlines. Adaptive ARQ with active discard of expired packets from the send buffer is an alternative approach. However, even with the addition of cross-layer adaptation to picture-type packet importance, ARQ is not ideal in conditions of a deteriorating RF channel. The paper presents fuzzy logic control of ARQ, based on send buffer fullness and the head-of-line packet's deadline. The advantage of the fuzzy logic approach, which also scales its output according to picture type importance, is that the impact of delay can be directly introduced to the model, causing retransmissions to be reduced compared to all other schemes. The scheme considers both the delay constraints of the video stream and at the same time avoids send buffer overflow. Tests explore a variety of Bluetooth send buffer sizes and channel conditions. For adverse channel conditions and buffer size, the tests show an improvement of at least 4 dB in video quality compared to nonfuzzy schemes. The scheme can be applied to any codec with I-, P-, and (possibly) B-slices by inspection of packet headers without the need for encoder intervention.

his study investigates the applicability of fuzzy logic control to high-frame rate stereovision object tracking. The technology developed in this work is based on utilizing a disparity map produced by the Stereovision Tracking System (STS) to identify the object of interest. The coordinates of the object are used by the fuzzy logic control system to provide rotation and focus control for object tracking. The fuzzy logic control was realized as a reconfigurable hardware module and implemented on Virtex-2 FPGA platform of the STS. The fuzzy reasoning was implemented as a reconfigurable look-up table residing in FPGA's internal memory. A set of software tools facilitating creation of loop-up table and reconfiguration of fuzzy logic control system was developed. Finally, the experimental prototype of the system was built and tested.

Abstract In 2020, Ashraf et al. proposed an interval type-2 fuzzy logic based block similarity calculation using color proximity relations of neighboring pixels in a steganographic scheme. Their method works well for detecting similarity, but it has drawbacks in terms of visual quality, imperceptibility, security, and robustness. Using Mamdani fuzzy logic to identify color proximity at the block level, as well as a shared secret key and post-processing system, this paper attempts to develop a robust data hiding scheme with similarity measure to ensure good visual quality, robustness, imperceptibility, and enhance the security. Further, the block color proximity is graded using an interval threshold. Accordingly, data embedding is processed in the sequence generated by the shared secret keys. In order to increase the quality and accuracy of the recovered secret message, the tampering coincidence problem is solved through a post-processing approach. The experimental analysis, steganalysis and comparisons clearly illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of visual quality, structural similarity, recoverability and robustness.

High definition television is becoming ever more popular, opening up the market to new high-definition technologies. Image quality and color fidelity have experienced improvements faster than ever. The video surveillance market has been affected by high definition television demand. Since video surveillance calls for large amounts of image data, high-quality video frame rates are generally compromised. However, a network camera that conforms to high definition television standards shows good performance in high frame rate, resolution, and color fidelity. High quality network cameras are a good choice for surveillance video quality.

Comprehensive Survey

In recent times, enormous advancement in communication as well as hardware technologies makes the video communication very popular. With the increasing diversity among the end using media players and its associated network bandwidth, the requirement of video streams with respect to quality, resolution, frame rate becomes more heterogeneous. This increasing heterogeneity make the scalable adaptation of the video stream in the receiver end, a real problem. Scalable video coding (SVC) has been introduced as a countermeasure of this practical problem where the main video stream is designed in such a hierarchical fashion that a set of independent bit streams can be produced as per requirement of different end using devices. SVC becomes very popular in recent time and consequently, efficient and secure transmission of scalable video stream becomes a requirement. Watermarking is being considered as an efficient DRM tool for almost a decade. Although video watermarking is regarded as a well focused research domain, a very less attention has been paid on the scalable watermarking in recent times. In this book chapter, a comprehensive survey on the scalable video watermarking has been done. The main objective of this survey work is to analyse the robustness of the different existing video watermarking scheme against scalable video adaptation and try to define the research problems for the same. Firstly, few existing scalable image watermarking schemes are discussed to understand the advantages and limitations of the direct extension of such scheme for frame by frame video watermarking. Similarly few video watermarking and some recent scalable video watermarking are also narrated by specifying their pros and cons. Finally, a summary of this survey is presented by pointing out the possible countermeasure of the existing problems.

Distributed video coding (DVC) is an attractive and promising solution for low complexity constrained video applications, such as wireless sensor networks or wireless surveillance systems. In DVC, visual quality consistency is one of the most important issues to evaluate the performance of a DVC codec. However, it is the fact that the quality of the decoded frames that is achieved in most recent DVC codecs is not consistent and it is varied with high quality fluctuation. In this paper, we propose a novel DVC solution named Joint exploration model based DVC (JEM-DVC) to solve the problem, which can provide not only higher performance as compared to the traditional DVC solutions, but also an effective scheme for the quality consistency control. We first employ several advanced techniques that are provided in the Joint exploration model (JEM) of the future video coding standard (FVC) in the proposed JEM-DVC solution to effectively improve the performance of JEM-DVC codec. Subsequently, for consistent quality control, we propose two novel methods, named key frame quantization (KF-Q) and Wyner-Zip frame quantization (WZF-Q), which determine the optimal values of the quantization parameter (QP) and quantization matrix (QM) applied for the key and WZ frame coding, respectively. The optimal values of QP and QM are adaptively controlled and updated for every key and WZ frames to guarantee the consistent video quality for the proposed codec unlike the conventional approaches. Our proposed JEM-DVC is the first DVC codec in literature that employs the JEM coding technique, and then all of the results that are presented in this paper are new. The experimental results show that the proposed JEM-DVC significantly outperforms the relevant DVC benchmarks, notably the DISCOVER DVC and the recent H.265/HEVC based DVC, in terms of both Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) performance and consistent visual quality.
