- Description: Video coding algorithms encode and decode an entire video frame while feature coding techniques only preserve and communicate the most critical information needed for a given application. This is because video coding targets human perception, while feature coding aims for machine vision tasks. Recently, attempts are being made to bridge the gap between these two domains. In this work, we propose a video coding framework by leveraging on to the commonality that exists between human vision and machine vision applications using cuboids. This is because cuboids, estimated rectangular regions over a video frame, are computationally efficient, has a compact representation and object centric. Such properties are already shown to add value to traditional video coding systems. Herein cuboidal feature descriptors are extracted from the current frame and then employed for accomplishing a machine vision task in the form of object detection. Experimental results show that a trained classifier yields superior average precision when equipped with cuboidal features oriented representation of the current test frame. Additionally, this representation costs 7% less in bit rate if the captured frames are need be communicated to a receiver. © 2021 IEEE.

- Description: Video coding algorithms attempt to minimize the significant commonality that exists within a video sequence. Each new video coding standard contains tools that can perform this task more efficiently compared to its predecessors. In this work, we form a coarse representation of the current frame by minimizing commonality within that frame while preserving important structural properties of the frame. The building blocks of this coarse representation are rectangular regions called cuboids, which are computationally simple and has a compact description. Then we propose to employ the coarse frame as an additional source for predictive coding of the current frame. Experimental results show an improvement in bit rate savings over a reference codec for HEVC, with minor increase in the codec computational complexity. © 2020 IEEE.

- Description: In this paper, we introduce a hierarchical colour image segmentation based on cuboid partitioning using simple statistical features of the pixel intensities in the RGB channels. Estimating the difference between any two colours is a challenging task. As most of the colour models are not perceptually uniform, investigation of an alternative strategy is highly demanding. To address this issue, for our proposed technique, we present a new concept for colour distance measure based on the inconsistency of pixel intensities of an image which is more compliant to human perception. Constructing a reliable set of superpixels from an image is fundamental for further merging. As cuboid partitioning is a superior candidate to produce superpixels, we use the agglomerative merging to yield the final segmentation results exploiting the outcome of our proposed cuboid partitioning. The proposed cuboid segmentation based algorithm significantly outperforms not only the quadtree-based segmentation but also existing state-of-the-art segmentation algorithms in terms of quality of segmentation for the benchmark datasets used in image segmentation. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

- Description: This paper proposed an improved methodology to assist forensic investigators in detecting positional change of objects due to crime scene contamination. Either intentionally or by accident, crime scene contamination can occur during the investigation and documentation process. This new proposed methodology utilises an ASIFT-based feature detection algorithm that compares pre- and post-contaminated images of the same scene, taken from different viewpoints. The contention is that the ASIFT registration technique is better suited to real world crime scene photography, being more robust to affine distortion that occurs when capturing images from different viewpoints. The proposed methodology was tested with both the SIFT and ASIFT registration techniques to show that (1) it could identify missing, planted and displaced objects using both SIFT and ASIFT and (2) ASIFT is superior to SIFT in terms of error in displacement estimation, especially for larger viewpoint discrepancies between the pre- and post-contamination images. This supports the contention that our proposed methodology in combination with ASIFT is better suited to handle real world crime scene photography. © 2019 IEEE.

Instead of using all cuboids (i.e. segments), we have proposed two approaches to choose different subsets of cuboids appropriately. With the experimental results on eBay dataset, we have shown that our proposals outperform retrieval performance of the existing technique. In addition, we have investigated how many segments are required for the most effective image retrieval and provide a quick method to determine the suitable number of cuboids.

- Description: Dynamic consolidation of Virtual Machines (VMs) can effectively enhance the resource utilization and energy-efficiency of the Cloud Data Centers (CDC). Existing research on Cloud resource reservation and scheduling signify that Cloud Service Users (CSUs) can play a crucial role in improving the resource utilization by providing valuable information to Cloud service providers. However, utilization of CSUs' provided information in minimization of energy consumption of CDC is a novel research direction. The challenges herein are twofold. First, finding the right benign information to be received from a CSU which can complement the energy-efficiency of CDC. Second, smart application of such information to significantly reduce the energy consumption of CDC. To address those research challenges, we have proposed a novel heuristic Dynamic VM Consolidation algorithm, RTDVMC, which minimizes the energy consumption of CDC through exploiting CSU provided information. Our research exemplifies the fact that if VMs are dynamically consolidated based on the time when a VM can be removed from CDC-a useful information to be received from respective CSU, then more physical machines can be turned into sleep state, yielding lower energy consumption. We have simulated the performance of RTDVMC with real Cloud workload traces originated from more than 800 PlanetLab VMs. The empirical figures affirm the superiority of RTDVMC over existing prominent Static and Adaptive Threshold based DVMC algorithms.

- Description: Internet of Things (IoT) image sensors for surveillance and monitoring, digital cameras, smart phones and social media generate huge volume of digital images every day. Image splicing and copy-move attacks are the most common types of image forgery that can be done very easily using modern photo editing software. Recently, digital forensics has drawn much attention to detect such tampering on images. In this paper, we introduce a novel feature extraction technique, namely Sum of Relevant Inter-Cell Values (SRIV) using which we propose a passive (blind) image forgery detection method based on Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP). First, the input image is divided into non-overlapping blocks and 2D block DCT is applied to capture the changes of a tampered image in the frequency domain. Then LBP operator is applied to enhance the local changes among the neighbouring DCT coefficients, magnifying the changes in high frequency components resulting from splicing and copy-move attacks. The resulting LBP image is again divided into non-overlapping blocks. Finally, SRIV is applied on the LBP image blocks to extract features which are then fed into a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to identify forged images from authentic ones. Extensive experiment on four well-known benchmark datasets of tampered images reveal the superiority of our method over recent state-of-the-art methods.

- Description: The recent High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Standard demonstrates higher rate-distortion (RD) performance compared to its predecessor H.264/AVC using different new tools especially larger and asymmetric inter-mode variable size motion estimation and compensation. This requires more than 4 times computational time compared to H.264/AVC. As a result it has always been a big concern for the researchers to reduce the amount of time while maintaining the standard quality of the video. The reduction of computational time by smart selection of the appropriate modes in HEVC is our motivation. To accomplish this task in this paper, we use phase correlation to approximate the motion information between current and reference blocks by comparing with a number of different binary pattern templates and then select a subset of motion estimation modes without exhaustively exploring all possible modes. The experimental results exhibit that the proposed HEVC-PC (HEVC with Phase Correlation) scheme outperforms the standard HEVC scheme in terms of computational time while preserving-the same quality of the video sequences. More specifically, around 40% encoding time is reduced compared to the exhaustive mode selection in HEVC. © 2014 IEEE.

Parametric approaches such as the mixture of Gaussian (MoG) based background modeling has been widely used however they require prior knowledge about the test videos for parameter estimation. Recently introduced non-parametric (NP) based background modeling techniques successfully improved video coding performance through a HEVC integrated coding scheme. The inherent nature of the NP technique naturally exhibits superior performance in dynamic background scenarios compared to the MoG based technique without a priori knowledge of video data distribution. Although NP based coding schemes showed promising coding performances, they suffer from a number of key challenges - (a) determination of the optimal subset of training frames for generating a suitable background that can be used as a reference frame during coding, (b) incorporating dynamic changes in the background effectively after the initial background frame is generated, (c) managing frequent scene change leading to performance degradation, and (d) optimizing coding quality ratio between an I-frame and other frames under bit rate constraints. In this study we develop a new scene adaptive coding scheme using the NP based technique, capable of solving the current challenges by incorporating a new continuously updating background generation process. Extensive experimental results are also provided to validate the effectiveness of the new scheme.
