Multiple description (MD) coding is an attractive framework for robust information transmission over non-prioritized and unpredictable networks. In this paper, a novel MD image coding scheme is proposed based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which aims to improve the reconstructed quality of side and central decoders. For this purpose initially, a given image is encoded into two independent descriptions by sub-sampling. Such a design can make the proposed method compatible with the existing image coding standards. At the decoder, in order to achieve high-quality of side and central image reconstruction, three CNNs, including two side decoder sub-networks and one central decoder sub-network, are adopted into an end-to-end reconstruction framework. Experimental results show the improvement achieved by the proposed scheme in terms of both peak signal-to-noise ratio values and subjective quality. The proposed method demonstrates better rate central and side distortion performance. |
