In order to solve the problem of feature information loss caused by the introduction of a large number of pooling layers in traditional convolutional neural networks, based on the feature of Capsule Network (CapsNet)——using vector neurons to save feature space information, a network model 3DSPNCapsNet (3D Small Pooling No dense Capsule Network) was proposed for recognizing 3D models. Using the new network structure, more representative features were extracted while the model complexity was reduced. And based on Dynamic Routing (DR) algorithm, Dynamic Routing-based algorithm with Length information (DRL) algorithm was proposed to optimize the iterative calculation process of capsule weights. Experimental results on ModelNet10 show that compared with 3DCapsNet (3D Capsule Network) and VoxNet, the proposed network achieves better recognition results, and has the average recognition accuracy on the original test set reached 95%. At the same time, the recognition ability of the network for the rotation 3D models was verified. After the rotation training set is appropriately extended, the average recognition rate of the proposed network for rotation models of different angles reaches 81%. The experimental results show that 3DSPNCapsNet has a good ability to recognize 3D models and their rotations.
To further reduce the great computational complexity for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) intra prediction, a novel algorithm was proposed in this paper. First, in Coding Unit (CU) level, the minimum Sum of Absolute Transformed Difference (SATD) of current CU was used to decide an early termination for the split of this CU at each depth level: if the minimum SATD of this CU is smaller than the given threshold value. Meanwhile, based on statistical analysis, the probabilities of each candidate prediction modes being optimal mode were used to further reduce the number of candidate modes which have almost no chance to be selected as the best mode. The experimental results show that, the proposed algorithm can save an average of 30.5% of the encoding time with negligible loss of coding efficiency (only 0.02dB Y-PSNR(Y-Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) loss) compared with the reference model HM10.1. Besides, the proposed algorithm is easy to provide software and hardware implementations, and it is also easy to be combined with other methods to further reduce the great computational complexity for HEVC intra coding.
