초록

관심 영역 부호화 방법은 관심 영역을 고화질로 부호화하고 배경 영역을 많이 압축함으로써 주관적 화질을 향상시키는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 관심 영역 부호화를 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 새로운 슬라이스 구조인 내부 영상 슬라이스 구조를 제안한다. 또한 제안한 내부 영상 슬라이스 구조를 사용할 때에 관심 영역과 배경 영역에 비트율을 할당하는 방법에 대해 다루었다. 비트율을 할당할 때 관심 영역과 배경 영역의 양자화 파라메터의 간격을 고정시켜 빠르게 양자화 파라메터를 결정하도록 하고, 특히 각 영역간에 경계가 드러나지 않도록 화질이 점차적으로 변하도록 양자화 파라메터를 설정하였다. 또한 오류가 있는 전송 환경에서 관심 영역을 배경 영역보다 오류로부터 더 많이 보호하여 주관적 화질을 향상시켰다.

A sub-picture slice structure is proposed which can perform the region-of-interest coding effectively, where the subjective quality can be improved by coding the region-of-interest in higher quality than the background region. In addition, the bit allocation mechanism is Proposed where the interval between quantization parameters of the foreground and background region is fixed. And the method to reduce the boundary effect between the foreground and background region is proposed. The foreground region is better protected to the network channel error than the background region. which results in the overall subjective quality improvement in the error prone environments.
