Could we compress images via standard codecs while avoiding visible artifacts? The answer is obvious -- this is doable as long as the bit budget is generous enough. What if the allocated bit-rate for compression is insufficient? Then…
Bit depth adaptation, where the bit depth of a video sequence is reduced before transmission and up-sampled during display, can potentially reduce data rates with limited impact on perceptual quality. In this context, we conducted a…
The ability to classify images is dependent on having access to large labeled datasets and testing on data from the same domain that the model can train on. Classification becomes more challenging when dealing with new data from a different…
