Dynamic Image Quantization using Leaky Integrate-and-Fire Neurons

Résumé

This paper introduces a novel coding/decoding mechanism that mimics one of the most important properties of the human visual system: its ability to enhance the visual perception quality in time. In other words, the brain takes advantage of time to process and clarify the details of the visual scene. This characteristic is yet to be considered by the state-of-the-art quantization mechanisms that process the visual information regardless the duration of time it appears in the visual scene. We propose a compression architecture built of neuroscience models; it first uses the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) model to transform the visual stimulus into a spike train and then it combines two different kinds of spike interpretation mechanisms (SIM), the time-SIM and the rate-SIM for the encoding of the spike train. The time-SIM allows a high quality interpretation of the neural code and the rate-SIM allows a simple decoding mechanism by counting the spikes. For that reason, the proposed mechanisms is called Dual-SIM quantizer (Dual- SIMQ). We show that (i) the time-dependency of Dual-SIMQ automatically controls the reconstruction accuracy of the visual stimulus, (ii) the performance of Dual-SIMQ is better than the uniform state-of-the-art quantization schema approximating the optimal behavior of the non-uniform quantization schema.
