Blocks in pixel images are template matched to select candidate blocks and weights according to a structural similarity and a perceptual distortion of the blocks. The perceptual distortion is a function of a just-noticeable-distortion (JND). A filter outputs a prediction residual between the block and the candidate blocks. The prediction residual is transformed and quantized to produce a quantized prediction residual using the JND. The matching and quantizing is optimized jointly using the perceptual distortion. Then, the quantized prediction residual and the weights are entropy encoded into a bit-stream for later decoding.

The invention relates to distributed encoding method and system based on HVS / ROI (human vision system and region of interest) and belongs to distributed encoding methods and systems. The system comprises an encoder and a decoder. The encoder divides an input video Wyner-Ziv frame into macroblocks C and macroblocks AC by an HVS JND (just noticeable distortion) model, and macroblocks of a K frame and macroblocks of the WZ frame are encoded independently. The decoder is used for joint decoding of received code streams. The HVS JND model is introduced, so that data processing and transmission of JND thresholds in next region are reduced, transmission rate is reduced, and energy consumption and bandwidth are economized. A glare region with high movement violence and brightness contrast is subjected to ROI extraction and is subjected to entropy encoding, and subjective quality is improved while encoding complexity is not increased as far as possible.

The invention discloses a three-dimensional image fragile watermark method based on joint just noticeable distortion and in particular relates to a three-dimensional image location tampering and restoring fragile watermark algorithm based on JJND (Joint Just Noticeable distortion). Firstly, a three-dimensional image block is divided into a relative sensitive block and a relative insensitive block according to a JJND model and the number of three-dimensional image match blocks, then discrete cosine transform and quantization compression are carried out on the image blocks to generate watermarks, and unsymmetrical watermark embedding of different type blocks of the three-dimensional image is built according to the JJND model and types of the image blocks. Restored watermarks can be used for locating the positions of the tampered portions to further improve transparency of the image. Meanwhile, copy embedding of the restored watermarks in the three-dimensional image can improve the capacity for the watermarks to restore tampered information. Experiments show that the three-dimensional image fragile watermark method based on the joint just noticeable distortion is accurate in location on the tampered positions and has higher restoring capacity on the tampered areas.

The invention discloses a multi-view video rate control method based on exactly perceptible distortion. An exactly perceptible distortion value can be obtained according to characteristics of visual system of human beings. Rate control is performed quantificationally in a multi-view video, namely, according to an frame I or frame P image, a quantization parameter is determined according to an average value of quantization parameters of frame B images of a last image set and according to a Frame B image, due to calculation of the number of target bits distributed to the Frame B image in advance and calculation of the number of the target bits distributed to each macro block of the Frame B image in advance, a mean absolute error of each macro block is corrected combined with the exactly perceptible distortion value. Then according to a secondary model of a code rate-quantization parameter, a quantization parameter of each macro block is calculated. According to the code control method, under the conditions that a control code rate is accurate and a peak signal to noise ratio is kept unchanged, higher subjective quality is obtained and when the corrected peak signal to noise ratio is regarded as a quality standard, the code rate of the multi-view video rate control method based on the exactly perceptible distortion is reduced by 10.31%-32.13%.
