본 논문에서는 입체 영상 재현을 위한 한쌍의 이미지 스트림 데이터를 MPES-4 표준을 기반으로 효율적으로 인코딩하는 방식을 제안하고, 이에 대한 인코더를 분석, 설계하였다. 최근 하이비전 보다 더욱 인간의 감성에 호소하는 영상 시스템으로서 3차원 입체 영상에 대한 기대가 고조되고 있고, 영상 정보의 현실감 부여와 정보 전달의 리얼리티에 관한 많은 정보론 요구하고 있다. 또한 현대의 정보 통신 분야는 방송, 통신 및 컴퓨터가 통합되고, 무선과 유선이 융합되는 새의운 정보 통신 기술로 진화하고 있다. 이러한 변화의 영향으로 영상 서비스에 대한 기술 개발 경향도 영상 정보의 효율적인 전달 및 저장이라는 기존의 동영상 압축 표준이 갖는 기능뿐만 아니라, 보다 더 향상된 기능을 제공하는 방향으로 나아가고 있다. 기존 입체 영상 인코딩 방식은 상관 관계가(Correlation) 높은 각각의 입체 영상을 독립적으로 인코딩하는 반면, 본 논문에서는 한 인코더에서 동시에 인코딩하는 방식을 제안하였으며, 이 방식은 저장 공간과 이미지 스트림 전송에 효율적일 것이나 MPEG-4는 현재 각광받고 있는 인터넷 등의 멀티미디어 서비스에 있어서 효율적이고 필수적인 핵심기술로 본 논문의 기반이 되었다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식은 MPEG-4를 이용한 입체 영상 관련 응용에 적용될 수 있다.

Gaming on demand(GOD) makes people enjoy games by encoding and transmitting game screen at a server side, and decoding the video at a client side. In this paper, we propose a fast game video encoder for multiple users over network with low-powered devices. In the proposed system, the computational complexity of game encoders is reduced by using scene descriptors, which consists of an object motion vector, global motion, and scene change. With additional information from game engines, the proposed encoder does not need to perform various complexity processes such as motion estimation and ratedistortion optimization. The motion estimation and rate-distortion optimization skipped by scene descriptors. We found that the proposed method improved 192 % in terms of FPS, compared with x264 software. With partial assembly code, we also improved coding speed by 86 % in terms of FPS. We found that the proposed fast encoder could encode over 60 FPS for real-time GOD applications.

Many of today's video systems have additional depth camera to provide extra features such as 3D support. Thanks to these changes made in multimedia system, it is now much easier to obtain depth information of the video. Depth information can be used in various areas such as object classification, background area recognition, and so on. With depth information, we can achieve even higher coding efficiency compared to only using conventional method. Thus, in this paper, we propose the 2D video coding algorithm which uses depth information on top of the next generation 2D video codec HEVC. Background area can be recognized with depth information and by performing HEVC with it, coding complexity can be reduced. If current CU is background area, we propose the following three methods, 1) Earlier stop split structure of CU with PU SKIP mode, 2) Limiting split structure of CU with CU information in temporal position, 3) Limiting the range of motion searching. We implement our proposal using HEVC HM 12.0 reference software. With these methods results shows that encoding complexity is reduced more than 40% with only 0.5% BD-Bitrate loss. Especially, in case of video acquired through the Kinect developed by Microsoft Corp., encoding complexity is reduced by max 53% without a loss of quality. So, it is expected that these techniques can apply real-time online communication, mobile or handheld video service and so on.

As the performance of the next-generation broadband wireless networks is dramatically enhanced, various services (i.e., education, video conferencing, online games, etc.) have been provided to users through a smart mobile platform. Since those services are usually provided by using the centralized architecture, it is difficult for a lot of users to provide the scalable communication service with regard to traffic management. To solve these problems, we have proposed an architecture of P2P-based group communication management scheme using smart mobile device. More specifically, we design the group management protocol and algorithm for the group member management and the traffic management. By using these methods, the mobile multimedia streaming service can be provided with scalability. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, we have mathematically analyzed the performance in terms of the average transmission delay and bandwidth utilization.

The future mobile communication system can support not only voice but also multimedia applications such as data, image and video. It requires greater resources than the voice-oriented mobile system. We propose user and sub-channel priority based resource allocation for mobile multimedia services in the OFDMA systems. Our method is able to guarantee QoS continuity of realtime services and carry the maximum number of non-realtime subscriber. Simulation is focused on total throughput and blocking rate. The simulation results show that our proposed method provides a better performance than the conventional method.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an answer for the following question: What are the major shifts and implications of the unprecedently competitive and rapidly changing media ecosystem in the era of N-screen and OTT services? I've attempted to understand the complex and competitive nexus among media from an historical context by focusing on the displacement vs. complement thesis. The TPC model by Han has been employed for the analysis of the current dynamics of US media industries by triangulating three areas: Technology/industry, public policy and consumer/culture. More specifically, the US media landscape is initially divided into two competitive turfs - the competitors equipped with OTT services and the legacy media industry, and then the traditional media industry was grouped again into PayTV group(telecom service providers with IPTV and mobile TV, cable/Satellite TV networks) and Free (over-the-air) TV networks. Six major shifts were identified by the analysis: power shift in telecom carriers, power shifts in TV industry, Telecom/OTT partnership, time shifts, place shifts, and finally business model shifts.

As the IP multicast function is very slowly deployed in Internet due to its scalability problem and inter-domain interoperability problem, interest in the P2P(Peer-to-Peer) streaming technologies for the realtime multimedia multicast applications such as IPTV is highly growing. This paper proposes a P2P streaming method for the QoS-sensitive multimedia multicast applications such as highly-interactive personal IPTV and video conferences. The proposed P2P streaming method allows an application to construct a reliable streaming tree in which a proper number of backup peers are placed according to its reliability requirement. The reliable streaming tree reduces the reconnection delay, occurred in the case of a normal and/or abnormal peer leave, so as to minimize the loss of streaming data. In the proposed P2P streaming method, the join delay of a peer called startup delay is also substantially reduced because the bandwidth and end-to-end delay information of every peer kept in a distributed way allows the target peer for a joining peer to be able to be quickly determined. Moreover, the proposed method's peer admission control mechanism based on the bandwidth and end-to-end delay enables the delay-bounded streaming services to be provided for its corresponding applications.

DMB 데이터 표준화 위원회는 기존의 방송과 차별화 된 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 MPEG-4 BIFS Core 2D @ Level 1 을 지상파 DMB 데이터 표준으로 선택하였다. 그러나 MPEG-4 BIFS Core 2D @ Level 1 은 비디오 객체 위에 간단한 2D 도형을 오버레이하는 정도의 기능만을 제공하고 있어서, 아직은 DMB 데이터 표준에 3D 데이터 표현에 대한 내용을 포함하고 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 향후 DMB 용 데이터 콘텐츠에서 3D 그래픽스를 활용한 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 개발이 가능하도록 3D 그래픽스 표현을 위한 프로파일을 제시하고자 한다. 방송의 새로운 영역인 모바일 환경에서의 BIFS 활용을 위하여 본 연구에서는 MPEG-4 BIFS 의 3D 노드들을 기반으로 모바일 환경에 적합한 노드들을 추려서 프로파일을 구성하였다. 이를 위해 콘텐츠 제작 시 노드 사용 빈도 및 각 노드별 리소스 사용 정도를 조사하였고, 모바일에서 그래픽스 객체 표현을 위한 언어인 OpenGL|ES, JSR184, Mobile Direct3D 등의 표준과 BIFS 표준을 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 조사 내용을 바탕으로 BIFS 3D 노드들 중에서 DMB 용 3D 콘텐츠 구현에 적합한 노드들을 분석하였으며 프로파일 검증을 위한 테스트 콘텐츠를 작성하였다. 향후 멀티미디어 콘텐츠는 다양한 3D 그래픽스 기술의 활용이 예상되므로 이와 같은 연구를 통해 DMB 환경에서도 3D 그래픽스를 객체를 표현이 가능하게 된다면, 다양한 데이터 콘텐츠 개발을 위한 발판이 되어 향후 데이터 방송 활성화에 기여할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

In this paper, we propose a new MAC(Medium Access Control) protocol using Movable-boundary, which tries to guarantee Qos for multimedia traffic in the slotted CDMA system. In this scheme, the traffic scheduler assigns channel resource according to the packet priority per service class and adapts the Movable-boundary concept in which the minimum resource is assigned to each traffic class; the remaining resource if it is available can be assigned dynamically according to the temporal demand of other traffic classes. For performance analysis, we performed computer simulations to obtain throughput and packet loss rate and compared the results with Fixed-boundary system. We observed that the error rate of voice traffic could be maintained below a prescribed value while bursty traffic such as video source shares the same channel. In comparison with Fixed-boundary scheme, our protocol exhibits better throughput and packet loss rate performance.
