Projections based Block Recovery – Motivation • Conventional Algorithms use information of all surrounding area. • Using only highly correlated area
Alternating Projections • Alternating Projections is projecting between two or more convex sets iteratively. Converging to a common point
Projections based Block Recovery – Algorithm • 2 Steps • Pre Process : 1) Edge orientation detection 2) Surrounding vector extraction 3) Recovery vector extraction • Projections : 1) Projection operator P1 2) Projection operator P2 3) Projection operator P3
Pre Process 1 –Edge Orientation Detection • Edge orientation in the surrounding area(S) of a missing block(M). In order to extend the geometric structure to the missing block. • Simple line masks at every i, j coordinate in surrounding area(S) of the missing block(M) for edge detection. Horizontal Line Mask Vertical Line Mask
Pre Process 1 – Edge Orientation Detection • Responses of the line masks at window W : • Total magnitude of responses : • Th > Tv ; Horizontal line dominating area Th < Tv ; Vertical line dominating area
Pre Process 2 – Surrounding Vectors • Surrounding Vectors, sk, are extracted from surrounding area of a missing block by N x N window. • Each vector has its own spatial and spectral characteristic. • The number of surrounding vectors, sk, is 8N.
Pre Process 3 – Recovery Vector • Recovery vectors are extracted to restore missing pixels. • Two positions of recovery vectors are possible according to the edge orientation. • Recovery vectors consist of known pixels(white color) and missing pixels(gray color). • The number of recovery vectors, rk, is 2. Vertical line dominating area Horizontal line dominating area
Projections based Block Recovery –Projection operator P1 • Recovery vectors, ri, for i = 1, 2 • Surrounding vectors, sj, for j = 1 ~ 8N • Surrounding vectors, S, form a convex hull in N2-dimensional space • Recovery vectors, R, are orthogonally projected onto the line defined by the closest surrounding vector, si, j : Projection Operator P1.
Projections based Block Recovery –Projection operator P1 • Projection operator P1 : Convex hull (formed by surrounding vectors, containing information of local image structure)
Projections based Block Recovery –Projection operator P1 • Surrounding vectors, sj, for j = 1 ~ 8N • Recovery vectors, ri, for i = 1, 2 • The closest vertex, sdi, from a recovery vector, ri. or equivalently in DCT domain, • P1 :
Projections based Block Recovery –Projection operator P2 • Convex set C2 acts as an “identical middle”. • Projection operator P2 :
Projections based Block Recovery – Projection operator P3 • Convex set C3 acts as a convex constraint between missing pixels and adjacent known pixels, (fN-1 fN). where, and is a N x N recovery vector in column vector form. fN-1 fN • Projection operator P3 :
Projections based Block Recovery –Iterative Algorithm • Missing pixels in recovery vectors are restored by iterative algorithm of alternating projections : • N x N windows moving : Vertical line dominating area Horizontal line dominating area
