Description
Summary:Distributed representation of correlated multiview images is an important problem that arises in vision sensor networks. This paper concentrates on the joint reconstruction problem where the distributively compressed images are decoded together in order to take benefit from the image correlation. We consider a scenario where the images captured at different viewpoints are encoded independently using common coding solutions (e.g., JPEG) with a balanced rate distribution among different cameras. A central decoder first estimates the inter-view image correlation from the independently compressed data. The joint reconstruction is then cast as a constrained convex optimization problem that reconstructs total-variation (TV) smooth images, which comply with the estimated correlation model. At the same time, we add constraints that force the reconstructed images to be as close as possible to their compressed versions. We show through experiments that the proposed joint reconstruction scheme outperforms independent reconstruction in terms of image quality, for a given target bit rate. In addition, the decoding performance of our algorithm compares advantageously to state-of-the-art distributed coding schemes based on motion learning and on the DISCOVER algorithm.
