The 11th International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG) will be held in Haikou, China, on 26 – 28, November, 2021. We sincerely invite the researches over the world in this area to join us.


ICIG 2021 Symposium: Image Representation and Understanding


Intro



Image-related researches have attracted significant attentions in the past decades. There have been great efforts to process and analyze the massive image data including both images and videos. Undoubtably, the processing of images, from bottom-level representation to high-level understanding, will still be a popular topic in the foreseeable future. This workshop invites four speakers to share their recent contributions and novel ideas in image representation and understanding.

Tit le: Bridging Vision and Language: Recent Advances in Visual Translation
Abstract: Translating an image or a video automatically into natural language is interesting,promising, but challenging. The task is to summarize the visual content ofimage or video and re-express it with decent words, suitable grammars, sentencepatterns and human habits. Nowadays, the encoding-decoding pipeline is the mostcommonly used framework to achieve this goal. In particular, the convolutionalneural network is used as the encoder to extract semantics of images or videos,while the recurrent neural network is employed as the decoder to generate wordsequence. In this talk, the literature on image and video description isfirstly reviewed, then the preliminary research advances are introduced,including visual captioning, visual storytelling, visual dense captioning,visual sentiment captioning, and the more complex visual paragraph description.

Titl e: Mask-convolution for restoring over-exposure of solar image
Abstract: Over-exposuremay happen for imaging of solar observation in case extremely violet solarbursts occur, which means that signal intensity goes beyond the dynamic rangeof an imaging system, resulting in information loss. Although over-exposure canbe alleviated a little by reducing exposure time in case of flares, it cannotbe solved completely. Recently, thanks to deep learning, lots of traditionalimage processing / reconstruction problems got breakthroughs, including imageinpainting. Over-exposure recovery is like image inpainting. In this talk, wepresent a learning-based model, namely mask-pix2pix network forrecovering/completing over-exposure regions of solar images. The proposed modelis established over the pix2pix GAN, so it has the form of a GAN, where thegenerator and discriminator are a U-net and a PatchGAN, respectively. Beyondconventional pix2pix, it introduces a new convolution operator, namelymask-convolution, which is specially designed for inpainting tasks. To providea convolution operator which could both fulfill block-wise convolution andeliminate interference of invalid pixels in mased region, we designed a maskconvolution operator, which highlight the mask regions during repairing damagedimage. Experimental results validate the advantage of the proposed model in therecovery of exposure solar images.

Tit le: Recent researches in Interactive Video
Abstract: Video service accounts for more than 80% amount of data transmission over internet,and how can we bring more immersive experiences to audience becomes a challengetask to both academia and industries. People tend to be involved into thevideo, just like the visual experience in their daily life. In this case, moredimensions of interaction should be considered, including viewing angles,illumination conditions, focal length, etc. So far, only limited dimensions ofinteractions have been taken into application by industrials, and considerationby MPEG. In this talk, we present the recent research progress of theprocessing chain from data capture in source part to interaction in terminalpart. Subtopics include multiview video capture and calibration, illuminationcoding and capture, focal stack images and their coding schemes.

Tit le: Deep Learning based Video Coding: Challenges and Opportunities
Abstr act: Due to the rapid growth of video applications and boosting demands for higherquality video services, such as UHD/HDR, 3D and VR, video data volume has beenincreasing explosively worldwide, which has been the most severe challenge formultimedia computing, transmission and storage. Video coding, such as HEVC andVVC, by compressing videos into a much smaller size for transmission or storageis one of the key solutions; however, its development has become saturated tosome extent while the compression ratio continuously grows in the last threedecades. Deep leaning algorithms provide new opportunities for furtherupgrading video coding algorithms. In this talk, our recent progress on deep learning-basedvideo coding will be introduced. Firstly, intra prediction in video coding isformulated as an inpainting task, and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)based intra video coding is developed to achieve higher coding efficiency.Secondly, chroma prediction in video coding is formulated as image colorizationtask, and deep learning based chroma predictive coding is proposed.Experimental results on HEVC and VVC are given to validate the effectiveness ofthe proposed deep learning-based coding optimizations. Finally, challengingissues and opportunities will be identified.
