three degree of freedom (3DoF), three degree of freedom plus (3DoF+), six degree of freedom(6DoF) 등 몰입형 비디오의 높은 몰입감을 제공하기 위해 다중 비디오 영상을 효율적으로 처리하는 기법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이를 위해 원본의 몰입형 비디오가 입력되면 기본 시점 영상과 추가 시점 영상에서의 중복을 제거하고 기본 시점(basic view)에서는 보이지 않지만 추가 시점(additional view)에서는 보이는 영역을 추출하는 프루닝 과정이 이뤄지는 부호기에서의 부호화 모드 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 test model for immersive video (TMIV)의 모드 중 하나인 MPEG immersive video (MIV) view mode 를 통해 만들어진 프루닝 (pruning) 그래프에서 선택된 시점들을 활용하여 뷰 간 중복성을 제거할 수 있는 효율적인 부호화 구조로 클러스터를 기반으로 병렬적으로 부호화하는 클러스터 기반 정렬 기법을 제안한다. 선택된 시점들을 인덱스 순서에 따라 부호화하는 기존 방법에 비해 제안하는 방법은 peak signal-to-noise ratio (Y-PSNR)에서 평균 3.9%의 BD-rate 절감을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 또한 더 객관적인 품질 측정을 위해 immersive video peak signal-to-noise ratio (IV-PSNR)에 의한 비교 결과도 함께 제공하며, 참조 순서에 맞게 정렬한 프루닝 기반 정렬 기법과의 비교도 함께 제공한다.

The development of display devices and the increase of network transmission bandwidth bring demands for over 2K high resolution video such as panorama video, 4K ultra-high definition commercial broadcasting, and ultra-wide viewing video. To compress these image sequences with significant amount of data, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard with the highest coding efficiency is a promising solution. HEVC, the latest video coding standard, provides high encoding efficiency using various advanced encoding tools, but it also requires significant amounts of computation complexity compared to previous coding standards. In particular, the complexity of HEVC decoding process is a imposing challenges on real-time playback of ultra-high resolution video. To accelerate the HEVC decoding process for ultra high resolution video, this paper introduces a data-level parallel video decoding method using slice and/or tile supported by HEVC. Moreover, deblocking filter process is further parallelized. The proposed method distributes independent decoding operations of each tile and/or each slice to multiple threads as well as deblocking filter operations. The experimental results show that the proposed method facilitates executions up to 2.0 times faster than the HEVC reference software for 4K videos.

본 논문에서는 UHDTV(Ultra HDTV)를 위한 MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream)의 다중화 기법 및 다중화 SW 툴의 설계 및 구현에 대해서 기술한다. 대용량의 UHD 비디오를 처리하기 위해서는 당분간 병렬처리에 기반한 코덱 구현이 불가피하며 이로 인해 다수의 비디오 비트스트림 간의 동기화 및 다중화가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 4K(또는 8K) 해상도의 UHD 비디오가 4개의 화면으로 분할되어 각각 H.264/AVC로 부호화되고, 2 개의 5.1 채널의 오디오가 AC-3로 부호화되는 병렬처리 기반의 UHDTV의 TS 다중화를 고려한다. H.264/AVC를 전송하기 위한 MPEG-2 시스템(Systems) 확장 규격과 AC-3를 다중화하기 위한 ATSC 규격에 따라 PES 패킷화 및 TS 다중화 툴을 설계한다. 본 논문의 다중화 툴은 타이밍 모델을 만족하도록 T-STD(TS Systems Target Decoder)에 정의된 버퍼들의 상태를 모니터링 하면서 다중화 스케쥴링을 수행하고 한 TS 패킷의 전송 시간 단위로 H/W의 실시간 처리를 에뮬레이션(emulation) 한다. 또한 전체 다중화 구조에 있어서 재다중화(Re-multiplexing)의 포함 여부에 따른 장단점에 대해서 고찰한다. 상용 검증 툴 및 재생 툴을 통하여 구현한 TS 다중화 툴의 규격의 적합성 및 그 기능을 검증한다.

This paper describes an efficient coding method for Korean characters using a three-state transition graph. To our knowledge, this is the first achievement of its kind. This new method, called the Paralle Hangul Dynamic Coding Method(PHDCM), compresses about 3.5 bits per a Korean character, which is more than 1 bit shorter than the conventional codes introduced thus far to achieve extensive code compression. When we ran the method on a MasPar machine, which is on SIMD SM (EFEW-PRAM)., it achieved a 49.314-fold speedup with 64 processors having 10 million Korean characters.

An optical parallel modified signed-digit(MSD) number adder system is proposed by using triple rail-coding input patterns and serial arrangement method of symbolic substitution. By combing overlapped arithmetic results. which are produced by encoding MSD input as triple rail-coding patterns. into the same patterns, symbolic substitution rules are reduced and also by using serialized and space-shifted input patterns in optical experiments, the optical adder without space-shifting operation, NOR operation and threshold operation is implemented.

Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC), which have founded ISO/IEC MPEG and ITU-T VCEG, has standardized High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Standardization of HEVC has started with purpose of twice or more coding performance compared to H.264/AVC. However, flexible and hierarchical coding block and recursive coding structure are problems to overcome of HEVC standard. Many fast encoding algorithms for reducing computational complexity of HEVC encoder have been proposed. However, it is hard to implement a real-time HEVC encoder only with those fast encoding algorithms. In this paper, for implementation of software-based real-time HEVC encoder, data-level parallelism using SIMD instructions and CPU/GPU multi-threading methods are proposed. And we also proposed appropriate operations and functional modules to apply the proposed methods on HM 10.0 software. Evaluation of the proposed methods implemented on HM 10.0 software showed 20-30fps for $832{\times}480$ sequences and 5-10fps for $1920{\times}1080$ sequences, respectively.

In this paper, we analyzed statistical characteristics and complexity of HEVC encoder as a leading research of acceleration, optimization and parallelization. Computational complexity of the HEVC encoder is approximately twice the compression performance compared to H.264/AVC. But, the increase of encoder complexity remains a problem to be solved in the future. Before performing the research on acceleration, optimization and parallelization to reduce high complexity of HEVC encoder, we measure the complexity each module for HEVC encoder using it's reference software HM 7.1. We also measured the predicted complexity of fast HEVC encoder software, used in real applications, using HM 7.1 applying fast encoding method. The complexity is measured in terms of the operating cycle of the encoder software under the common test sequences and conditions in the Windows PC environment. In addition, we analyze statistical characteristics of HEVC encoder software according to encoding structures and limitation using coded bitstreams.

In the HEVC CABAC, the probability model is updated after a bin is encoded and next bin is encoded based on the updated probability model. Conventional CABAC encoders can encode only one bin per cycle, which cannot increase the encoding throughput. The probability model does not need to be updated in the bypass bins. In this paper, a HEVC CABAC encoder is proposed to increase encoding throughput by parallel processing of bypass bins. The designed CABAC encoder can process either a regular bin or maximum 4 bypass bins in a cycle. On the average, it can process 1.15~1.92 bins in a cycle. Synthesized in 0.18 um technology, its gate count, maximum operating speed, and the maximum throughput are 78,698 gates, 136 MHz, and 261 Mbin/s, respectively.

Generally, one-dimensional fiber optic code-division multiple-access(CDMA) system is encoded and decoded using optical orthogonal codes(OOC’s), where two-dimensional fiber optic CDMA system uses optical orthogonal signature pattern codes(OOSPC’s) for parallel data link process. The OOSPC’s should have good autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties. However, if timing information or synchronization of OOSPC’s can be obtained by other means, the property of autocorrelation may not be restricted and we can increase the number of pattern codes. In this paper we introduce the fiber optic CDMA system for parallel transmission of two-dimensional data and investigate methods of generation of two-dimensional pattern codes. The probability density function of interference noise is calculated in interfering OOSPC’s of the users and the corresponding bit error rate is derived.. We compare each OOSPC’s by plotting bit error rate versus threshold values and the number of simultaneous users, from the result, we propose the optimal OOSPC’s conditions for the parallel transmission of two-dimensional data.
