Measurement-domain intra prediction framework for compressively sensed images

This paper presents a measurement-domain intra prediction coding framework that is compatible with compressive sensing (CS) based image sensors. In this framework, we propose a low-complexity intra prediction algorithm that can be directly applied to the measurements captured by the image sensor. Moreover, we propose a structural random 0/1 measurement matrix, embedding the block boundary information that can be extracted from the measurements for intra prediction. Experiment results show that our proposed framework can compress the measurements and increase coding efficiency, with 30% BD-rate reduction compared to the direct output of CS based sensors. This can significantly save both the energy consumption and the bandwidth in communication of wireless camera systems to be massively deployed in the era of IoT.
