FCM Reconstruction Refinement (ReRef)

project image 1

Reconstruction Refinement (ReRef) is a tool for the ISO standard Feature Coding for Machines (FCM). It enables us to align the distribution properties of the reconstructed feature tensors close to the original feature tensor. We have experimentally demonstrated that by employing our proposed method of ReRef on the original & fused tensors, it is possible to achieve an average BD-rate improvement of -13.10% across all tasks simulated under the FCM Common Test and Training Conditions (CTTC), with negligible increase in encoder and decoder complexity.
