13 results about "Compression artifact" patented technology

A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired disk space or transmitted (streamed) within the available bandwidth (known as the data rate or bit rate). If the compressor can not store enough data in the compressed version, the result is a loss of quality, or introduction of artifacts. The compression algorithm may not be intelligent enough to discriminate between distortions of little subjective importance and those objectionable to the user.

Noise sampling coordinate techniques for reproducible texture synthesis

Systems and methods are provided herein for efficient, reproducible noise sampling coordinate generation for texture synthesis in image and video processing. The techniques enable high-quality film grain or texture synthesis as a post-processing step in video decoders, masking compression artifacts and restoring perceptual quality. Hash-based mapping, including direct coordinate mapping and linear index hashing, can be used to generate coordinates for noise sampling by hashing image block coordinates and a seed with preselected constants to generate sampling positions. Shuffled permutation sampling can be used to generate coordinates by generating and shuffling a list of template coordinates using a seeded pseudo-random number generator, and assigning unique positions to each block. Wrap-around addressing, including treating the noise template as a toroidal space, can be used to maximize coverage and eliminate edge bias. The disclosed techniques provide deterministic, hardware-friendly, and unbiased sampling.

A cross-domain contrastive learning network for image tampering localization

The application provides a cross-domain contrast learning network for image tampering positioning. The network is composed of an image domain branch, a frequency domain branch, a feature fusion module, an attention enhancement module, and a cross-domain contrast loss module. The image domain branch takes ViT as the backbone network to model the spatial position relationship between pixels; the frequency domain branch describes compression artifacts based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) to extract more subtle tampering traces. The dual-domain features are fused to form fusion domain features, which are input into the channel-spatial multi-scale attention module enhanced by the median to capture local details and global context information simultaneously. Then, the enhanced multi-domain features are sent to the cross-domain contrast learning module to effectively distinguish the tampering area and the real area through intra-domain contrast learning, enhance the aggregation of positive samples, and separate the distance of negative samples; at the same time, the feature representation consistency is realized through cross-domain pair alignment to reduce the distribution difference between domains.
