For the improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264 standard uses new coding tools such as VBS, 1/4-pel accurate ME, multiple references, intra prediction, loop filter, etc. Using these coding tools, H.264 has achieved significant improvements from rate-distortion point of view compared to existing standards. However, the encoder complexity is greatly increased due to these coding tools. We focus on the complexity reduction method of intra-mode decision. Our algorithm first restricts selective prediction modes of Intra4x4 using a simple preprocessing. The prediction modes of Intra4x4 are used for restricting those of the other inter-modes. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms other conventional methods and save about 82% of total encoding time.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for hybrid lossless audio coding, which employs an integer wavelet transform and a linear prediction model. The proposed algorithm divides the input signal into flames of a proper length, decorrelates the framed data using the integer wavelet transform and linear prediction and finally entropy-codes the frame data. In particular, the adaptive Golomb-Rice coding method used for the entropy coding selects an optimal option which gives the best compression efficiency. Since the proposed algorithm uses integer operations, it significantly improves the computation speed in comparison with an algorithm using real or floating-point operations. When the coding algorithm is implemented in hardware, the system complexity as well as the power consumption is remarkably reduced. Finally, because each frame is independently coded and is byte-aligned with respect to the frame header, it is convenient to move, search, and edit the coded, compressed data.

This paper investigates the impact of the channel variations and channel estimation errors on the error performance of convolutional coded STBC systems. We consider the orthogonal Almouti STBC and the quasi-orthogonal Jafarkhani STBC, and the error performance of the convolutional coded STBC system is investigated according to the channel variation and channel estimation error via numerical simulations. Simulation results show that, if the channel variation speed is slow, time diversity effects improve the error performance compared to the static-channel cases. However, if the channel variation speed is fast, unlike ZF or MMSE detection, the conventional STBC detection has the significant performance degradation especially with the quasi-orthogonal Jafarkhani STBC. Further, the error performance of the system is significantly degraded as the channel estimation errors become stronger, regardless of the detection scheme and channel variation speed.

In wireless communications environments, a link adaptation technique that selects the proper rate from among several transmission rates is adopted to cope with variations in channel status. In block coded modulation, the frame time and/or the block length can be adjusted to the channel status. A smaller frame time can cause inter-frame interference (IFI), however, a larger frame time can reduce the data rate. Therefore, frame time is the design factor decided by a tradeoff between performance and the data rate. This paper presents a method to determine the frame time based on the processing gain for the channel model, CM1~CM4, recommended by IEEE 802.15a. Also, a link adaptation technique for block coded modulation is proposed for efficient communications by varying the frame time and the block length. Through simulation, link adaptation can be carried out with a step size of 2~5 nsec in a frame time range of 14~ 50 nsec for channel models CM1~CM4.

최근 표준화가 완성된 H.264 는 가변 블록 움직임 보상, 복수 참조 영상, 그리고 1/4 화소 움직임 벡터 정확도를 지원하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 새로운 부호화기술은 부호화 효율 향상의 주된 요인이면서, 동시에 높은 복잡도의 요인이기도 하다 따라서 H.264 비디오 표준의 실제 응용 확대를 위해서는 이러한 기술의 속도향상이 필수적이다. [1]에서 제안한 고속 모드 결정법은 조기에 모드 결정을 할 수 있기 때문에, 움직임 벡터 탐색과 비트율-왜곡치 (Rate-Distortion cost) 계산 과정을 효율적으로 생략할 수 있는 방법이다. 하지만 [1]에서 제안된 측정치 r은 주변 블록의 정보를 이용하지 않기 때문에 모드 결정 에러를 좀 더 효과적으로 줄이지 못했다. 본 논문에서는 주변 블록의 정보를 이용하여 [1]의 방법을 개선시킨 것으로 실험 결과 큰 부호화 손실 없이 계산 량 감소에 있어 매우 높은 효율을 제공함을 확인하였다.

This paper describes TCM(trellis coded modulation) schemes using 32VSB signal for digital CATV system. First we design optimum encoder with code rate 4/5 for 32VSB by using one dimenstional signal constellation and obtain 0.75-4.38 dB coding gains over the existing uncoded 16VSB. Second by using two dimensional signal constellation we design TCM encoders with code rate 9/10, which are better in the power efficienty (0.5-2.27 dB) and the transmission rate(12.5%), and we also design TCM encoders which have more coding gains than one dimensional TCM encoders for the larger number of states(more than 8 states).

Recently, consumer researchers have suggested that consumers evaluate brand by subjective memory-based-emotion which was formed by their experience. However, relatively little consumer research has been done to explore conditions under which memory-based-emotion is used in brand evaluation. Therefore, this study explored the conditions to facilitate usage of memory-based- emotion such as accessibility, representativeness, relevance of consumption goal, when consumers evaluate brand. In addition, we investigated the factors that influence responses of memory-based- emotion, such as similarity of encoding and retrieving condition and level of organization. The results of this study suggest that level of organization was positively related to accessibility and representativeness. But similarity of encoding and retrieving condition was not related to them. And accessibility, representativeness influence on use of memory-based-emotion in consumer brand evaluation. But relevance of consumption goal did not influence on use of memory-based-emotion in consumer brand evaluation.

The OTT service that provides multimedia video has spread over the Internet for terminals with a variety of resolutions. The terminals are in communication via a networks such as 3G, LTE, VDSL, ADSL. The service of the network has been increased for a variety of terminals giving rise to the need for a new way of encoding multimedia is increasing. SVC is an encoding technique optimized for OTT services. We proposed an efficient multimedia management system for the SVC encoded multimedia data. The I/O trace was generated using a zipf distribution, and were comparatively evaluated for performance with the existing system.

In this paper, we present the development of document compression codec using segmentation, wavelet lifting and bitplane coding. We use the segmentation to preserve the text appearance. We performed integer-to-integer wavelet lifting and also performed bitplane subblock coding for document compression. We acquired a high compression ratio and an efficient compression by encoding only the significant subblocks in the bitplane subblock coding. We also implemented scalar quantization by subband-oriented bit shifting. The system performs color conversion and downsampling before wavelet lifting and also performs graycode conversion and quantization before subblock coding. In the experiment, we show the performances of the system by presenting the high compression ratios and high PSNR values.

This is paper presents the semantic based rate-control method which is based on very low bit rate video coding standards H.263 plus, applied on very low bit rate applications. Previous rate control methods control the generated bit rates by setting the optimum quantization parameters per macro block unit on frame. But, in this paper, we added the pre-processing algorithm, semantic region recognition and assignment of priority algorithm, to obtain the subjective quality enhancement. This work aims to improve the subjective quality of skin color region or face by using unimportant background region's bit resources.
