Abstract
Distributed Compressed Video Sensing (DCVS) is a video coding framework well suited to low-power, low-complexity encoding environments. In conventional DCVS with Convolutional Sparse Representation (CSR), convolutional dictionary filters are learned from a key frame in each group of pictures (GOP), and the remaining non-key frames are reconstructed by solving a Convolutional Sparse Coding (CSC) problem using that dictionary. In this work, we investigate a CSR-based DCVS framework that instead employs a pre-learned convolutional dictionary trained offline on multiple video datasets via a consensus-based dictionary learning framework. Using this fixed dictionary, every frame in a sequence is reconstructed independently as if it were a key frame, i.e., without referencing other frames in the same sequence. We evaluate the proposed pre-learned-dictionary DCVS on the Foreman, Akiyo, and Coastguard sequences under two configurations that differ in the choice of data-fidelity term (L1 or L2) with symmetric boundary handling. Experimental results show that all test sequences can be successfully reconstructed using the pre-learned dictionary, indicating that sequence-specific key-frame-based dictionary learning at the decoder is not necessary. Moreover, the L1 data-fidelity term consistently yields better reconstruction quality than the L2 term in terms of PSNR and SSIM.
