Table III: it is used for transmission the parameter of RaceVR sequence used
In the following, for equal error protection (EEP) and EEP (ROI-EEP) system based on ROI to the ROI-UEP of proposition System carries out benchmark test.The parameter III of RaceVR sequence used in simulation is detailed in table.Specifically, it is based on 4:2: The RaceVR video clipping of 0YUV format (4096*2048) pixel resolution is encoded by HEVC reference software, wherein using being based on The error concealing of low complex degree " frame duplication " replaces the panoramic frame of damage.For the sake of simplicity, IDR/CDR is used only in simulations Frame.However, algorithm can be easily extended to B frame and P frame.In addition, using standard, H.265 quantization parameter (QPs) passes through HEVC Scheme carries out video sequence to encode 69.2 megabits (Mbps) per second, 30 frame per second.In addition, there is no the case where error of transmission Under, the Y-PSNR of 42.5dB can be realized by rebuilding video.
Other than the panoramic video parameter of Table III, details are as follows with FEC parameter for transmission.Specifically, Recursive Systematic Convolutional (RSC) the volume solution configured by the octal system generator polynomial of [031,027,027,027,027,035,035,035,035,033] Code device uses FEC for codec, and minimum code rate is 0.1.In addition, sending FEC using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) The bit stream of coding.In addition, the bit stream of each HEVC coding is RSC coding, BPSK modulation, then by NALU in net It is sent on network Abstraction Layer units (NALU).In order to generate statistically reasonable performance curve, simulation 100 times is repeated.Remaining parameter It is listed in Table III.
A.PSNR assessment
In view of the discussion in the second section, it is known that the different pixels on plane framework have different importance.Correspondingly, Pixel is weighted to assess MAX=2 in m pixel scenesmPosition.
The PSNR for considering frame U uses the symbol definition listed in Table IV.Specifically, by the weight of pixel U (i, j) It is expressed as I (i, j), i.e. importance.Moreover, it is assumed that the viewpoint on sphere is (cx, cy, cz), visual angle υ.Therefore, it is located at viewing The longest distance of the pixel on sphere in range can be expressed as
Recall section II, the pixel in same a line of Fig. 2 b is located in the same latitude of Fig. 2 a, and vice versa.Therefore, as The importance of plain U (i, j) can be calculated as the ratio between related latitudinal perimeter and width W, i.e. I (i, j) in equation 21.
The weighted mean square error (WMSE) of use is defined as
And Y-PSNR (WPSNR) is weighted accordingly and may be calculated
Having has MAX=2 in m pixel scenesm
B. offline LUT is generated
In order to generate LUT, the vector of [- 5:1:25], [0:0.1:9.9] are respectively used toVariable s, γ-1, obtain To ns=31, nγ=100 in addition, using λ=1000 block length.
C. datum mark
1) framework of ROI-UEP:ROI-UEP scheme is detailed in Fig. 5.
2) ROI-EEP: in ROI-UEP scheme, the signal in ROI is arranged by different protections in ROI-EEP In, they have identical protection relevant to γ 1==γ n.
As shown in figure 12: the weight of block is calculated by the algorithm discussed in Section IV-C section, and wherein panoramic frame is divided into 64 sons Block.
3) entire panoramic video signal, including ROI equally EEP: are protected using encoding rate Γ.
D. performance
In the following, assessment WPSNR video quality, the PER and BER of related block.
1) track is checked: in simulations, using view track, i.e., the head motion track of all 100 wheel simulations, to make Performance improvement is observed with the algorithm of proposition.Used track is as shown in figure 11.Note that each of 60 tracing points all tables The estimation of deep learning tool can be used in the observation center for showing 60 estimations.
2) weight of block: the block weight of the first panoramic frame is shown in FIG. 12, and wherein panoramic frame is divided into (8*8) height Block generates n=64 block.
3) WPSNR video quality: WPSNR and Eb/N0As a result it is recorded in Figure 13 a, wherein ROI-EEP scheme is considered base It is better than EEP scheme in sheet.Specifically, ROI-EEP and EEP scheme realizes 38.7dB's under 7dB and 12dB channel SNR respectively WPSNR.Alternatively, ROI-EEP scheme realizes the E of 5dB when being directed to the WPSNR of 38.7dBb/N0Gain.This is because ROI-EEP Scheme passes through the region in the peripheral view for sacrificing viewer to distribute stronger protection for ROI signal.
It can be seen that compared with ROI-EEP scheme from Figure 13 a, ROI-UEP scheme further improves WPSNR performance, especially It is in lower Eb/N0In range.Specifically, ROI-UEP scheme is better than ROI-EEP scheme when WPSNR is 35dB 0.8dB channel Eb/N0.In addition, in channel Eb/N0When for 6dB, ROI-UEP scheme is better than the WPSNR of ROI-EEP scheme 9.4dB, wherein ROI-UEP scheme and ROI-EEP scheme can be realized the WPSNR and 25.9dB of 35.3dB.This is because ROI- UEP scheme dynamically finds the suitable FEC encoding rate set of the non-uniform FDTD grids for ROI signal, wherein can sacrifice not Too important vision signal improves the protection to prior panoramic pixel.
4) BER module: for block u54, u7And u14The encoding rate and E of recordb/N0As a result relationship is respectively displayed on figure In 13b, Figure 13 c and Figure 13 d, lower BER value is observed.Specifically, for the E from 0dB to 14dBb/N0Value, block u14's BER is lower than 10-5, and block u54BER drop to 10 in 7dB-5.This is because ROI-UEP scheme is that prior ROI is assigned with More FEC protective redundancies.Note that in Figure 13 b, in Figure 13 c and Figure 13 d, for ROI-UEP scheme record BER curve with Eb/N0It is worth and fluctuates.This optimization process that may be attributed to the ROI-UEP seen in algorithm 1 possibly can not find the overall situation most It is excellent.
5) encoding rate: for block u54, u7And u14The encoding rate and E of recordb/N0As a result relationship is respectively displayed on Figure 13 e, In Figure 13 f and Figure 13 g.For ROI-EEP and EEP scheme, all Eb/N0All pieces of u in range54, u7And u14Encoding rate It remains unchanged.It is observed in Figure 13 g, compared with ROI-EEP and EEP scheme, the distribution of ROI-UEP scheme and lower encoding rate phase Associated stronger protection.This is because to prior piece of u14Stronger protection can moderately reduce panoramic video mistake Very, as depicted in fig. 13 a.
6) panoramic frame: if Figure 14 is in the systematic comparison record reconstructed frame proposed and using the benchmark of RaceVR video sequence The channel SNR of label is 6dB.The ROI of viewer is shown in Figure 14 b and Figure 14 g, they are by stronger protection.In addition, ROI-UEP scheme has rebuild better visual quality in the roi.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, is not intended to limit the invention, all in essence of the invention Made any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements etc., should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention within mind and principle.
