This paper presents a foveated coding method using audio-visual focus of attention and its
evaluation through extensive subjective experiments on both standard-definition and high …

This paper proposes an efficient video coding method using audio-visual focus of attention,
which is based on the observation that sound-emitting regions in an audio-visual sequence …

Using Focus of Attention (FoA) as a perceptual process in image and video compression
belongs to well-known approaches to increase coding efficiency. It has been shown that …

Offline foveation is a technique to improve the compression efficiency of digitized video. The
general idea behind offline foveation is to blur video regions where no or a small number of …

While users are watching videos, they can only focus and evaluate one small part of the
presented video frame which is within the focal view point. Video coding however often …

Scalable video coding is a powerful solution for content delivery in many interactive
multimedia services due to its adaptability to varying terminal and network constraints. In …

The visual attention mechanism plays a key role in the human perception system and it has
a significant impact on our assessment of perceived video quality. In spite of receiving less …

We propose a human perception-oriented processing method that is readily applicable to
human perceptual video coding. While existing methods focus on removing perceptual …

Most image and video compression algorithms that have been proposed to improve picture
quality relative to compression efficiency have either been designed based on objective …

When human subjects assess the quality of multimedia data, high level perceptual
processes such as focus of attention (FoA) and eye movements are believed to play an …
