Abstract

Multimedia is a very popular service in the Internet. But, we cannot provide multimedia service at a uniform content, because networks and devices are various. Thus, an adaptive service is needed for multimedia transmission. Video Transcoding is the good solution that can service multimedia adaptively. This paper proposes the streaming system that is composed of encoder, transcoder, decoder The encoder enhanced time complexity and PSNR in case of transcoding using PP(Prediction Period). The decoder is almost same as the traditional media player. Transcoder reduced time complexity through combination of prediction period in encoder and skipping period to control frame rate in transcoder. In simulation results, the performances of proposed scheme outperform the system with traditional transcoder in time complexity and PSNR.

멀티미디어 서비스가 전체 인터넷의 많은 부분을 차지하고 있으며, 계속해서 관심이 증가되고 있다. 네트워크가 다양해지고 구성 단말들의 종류도 다양해짐에 따라, 획일적인 컨텐츠로 멀티미디어 서비스를 하는 것이 불가능해졌다. 각 단말별 요구도 다양해지고, 네트워크의 대역폭도 다양해짐에 따라서 적응적인 서비스가 요구된다. 비디오 트랜스코딩은 멀티미디어 데이타를 적응성 있게 서비스할 수 있는 좋은 방법이다. 본 논문은 멀티미디어 데이타를 스트리밍 하기 위해 부호기, 트랜스코더, 복호기로 구성된 시스템을 제안한다. 부호기는 예측 주기를 이용하여 트랜스코딩할 경우의 계산 복잡도 및 PSNR을 향상시켰고, 복호기는 일반적인 미디어 재생기와 거의 유사하다. 트랜스코더에서는 부호기의 예측주기와 프레임율을 조절하는 삭제주기를 통해서 효율적인 계산 과정을 선택한다. 실험 결과, 기존의 트랜스코더와 부호기, 복호기를 이용한 시스템에 비해서 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템이 계산복잡도와 PSNR에서 높게 나타났다.
