분산 비디오 복호화 기술은 저 용량 저 전력 시스템을 위한 초경량 복호화기를 제공할 수 있어 최근 많은 이슈가 되고 있다. 그러나 분산 비디오 복호화 기술은 피드백 채널을 이용하여 반복적인 패리티 비트 제어 방법을 주로 사용하기 때문에 전체 복호화 시간이 매우 길다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 분산 비디오 복호화 시스템의 고속화가 반드시 필요하며 이를 위해 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 분산 비디오 복호화의 고속화를 위하여 보조정보와 LDPCA 프레임의 율-왜곡을 이용하여 패리티 비트 요구량을 예측하는 방법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안하는 방법을 이용함으로써 분산 비디오 복호화에 소요되는 전제 복호 시간 대비 약 80% 시간 절감 효과를 보인다.

Recently, as one of low complexity video encoding methods, DVC (Distributed Video Coding) scheme has been actively studied. Most of DVC schemes exploit feedback channel to achieve better coding performances, however, this causes these schemes to have high decoding delay. In order to overcome these, this paper proposes a new fast DVC decoding method using parity-bit request model, which can be obtained by using bit-error rate, sent by encoder with motion vector, which is transmitted through feedback channel by decoder after generating side information. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method improves greatly the decoding speed, compared to the conventional schemes.

DVC (Distributed Video Coding) techniques need feedback channel for parity bit control to achieve the good RD performances, however, this causes the DVC system to have high decoding latency. In order to implement in real time environments and to accelerate commercializations, many research works have been focusing on the development of fast video decoding algorithm. As one of the real time implementations, this paper deals with a novel DVC scheme suitable for some application areas where source statistics such as motion information can be provided to the encoder side from the decoder side. That is, this paper propose a fast distributed video decoding scheme to improve the decoding speed by using the feedback of motion information derived in SI generation. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms the conventional fast DVC decoding schemes.

DVC(Distributed Video Coding) techniques have been attracting a lot of research works since these enable us to implement the light-weight video encoder and to provide good coding efficiency by introducing the feedback channel. However, the feedback channel causes the decoder to increase the decoding complexity and requires very high decoding latency because of numerous iterative decoding processes. So, in order to reduce the decoding delay and then to implement in a real-time environment, this paper proposes several parity bit estimation methods which are based on the temporal correlation, spatial correlation and spatio-temporal correlations between LDPCA frames on each bit plane in the consecutive video frames in pixel-domain Wyner-Ziv video coding scheme and then the performances of these methods are compared in fast DVC scheme. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the adaptive spatio-temporal correlation-based estimation method and the temporal correlation-based estimation method outperform others for the video frames with the highly active contents and the low active contents, respectively. By using these results, the proposed estimation schemes will be able to be effectively used in a variety of different applications.

본 논문은 저복잡도 비디오 부/복호화를 위한 엔트로피 부호화 기반의 분산 비디오 코딩 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 엔트로피 부호화 기반의 분산 비디오 코딩은 복호기의 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 기존의 분산 비디오 코딩에서 사용하는 채널코딩을 이용하는 것이 아니라 엔트로피 코딩을 이용하여 부호화를 수행한다. 제안하는 방법에서 복호가는 움집임 추정을 수행하고 그 결과인 움직임 백터를 부호기로 전송하며, 부호기는 전송받은 움직임 백터를 초기 움직임 백터로 하여 움직임 백터 값의 갱신을 수행한다. 제안한 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 기존의 분산 비디오 코딩 방법과 복호기 복잡도를 비교한 결과 99%의 복잡도 감소가 있었고, H.264/AVC의 All Intra 방법과 비교하여 20.3%의 비트율 감소가 있었다.

Recently, many research works are focusing on DVC (Distributed Video Coding) system for low complexity encoder. However the feedback channel-based parity bit control is a major cause of the high decoding time latency. Spatial and temporal correlation is high in video and, therefore, the statistical property can be applied for the parity bit request of LDPCA frame. By introducing frame adaptive parity bit request estimation method, this paper proposes a new method for reducing the decoding time latency. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed method achieves about 80% of complexity reduction, compared to the conventional no-estimation method.

DVC (Distributed Video Coding) technique plays an essential role in providing low-complexity video encoder. But, in order to achieve the better rate-distortion performances, most DVC systems need feedback channel for parity bit control. This causes the DVC-based system to have high decoding latency and becomes as one of the most critical problems to overcome for a real implementation. In order to overcome this problem and to accelerate the commercialization of the DVC applications, this paper analyzes an effect of LDPCA frame size for adaptive LDPCA frame-based parity bit request estimations. First, this paper presents the LDPCA segmentation method in pixel-domain and explains the temporal-based bit request estimation method and the spatial-based bit request estimation method using the statistical characteristics between adjacent LDPCA frames. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the better performance and fast decoding is observed specially when the LDPCA frame size is 3168 in QCIF resolution.

Recently, distributed video coding (DVC) has been actively studied for low complexity video encoder. The complexity of the encoder in DVC is much simpler than that of traditional video coding schemes such as H.264/AVC, but the complexity of the decoder in DVC increases. In this paper, we propose the Region-Of-Interest (ROI) based DVC with low decoding complexity. The proposed scheme uses the ROI, the region the motion of objects is quickly moving as the input of the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) encoder instead of the whole WZ frame. In this case, the complexity of encoder and decoder is reduced, and the bite rate decreases. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme obtain 0.95 dB as the maximum PSNR gain in Hall Monitor sequence and 1.87 dB in Salesman sequence. Moreover, the complexity of encoder and decoder in the proposed scheme is significantly reduced by 73.7% and 63.3% over the traditional DVC scheme, respectively. In addition, we employ the layered belief propagation (LBP) algorithm whose decoding convergence speed is 1.73 times faster than belief propagation algorithm as the Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder for low decoding complexity.

분산 비디오 기술의 대표적인 기술 중 하나는 와이너 지브 부호화 기술이다. 와이너 지브 부호화 구조에서 보조정보는 인트라 복호화된 키 픽처들을 이용하여 생성한다. 키 픽처의 객관적 화질은 보조정보의 성능에 많은 영향을 끼치고, 잡음이 많은 보조정보를 복호화에 이용할 경우 부호화로부터 많은 패리티 비트를 요구하게 되어 율 왜곡 성능을 저하된다. 기존의 부호화 기술은 키 픽처 부호화 시 Quantization Matrix에 따라 미리 정의된 양자화 계수를 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 미리 정의된 양자화 계수 보다 낮은 계수 값을 사용하여 부호화 하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안방법은 키 픽처의 객관적 화질이 높아짐에 따라 보조정보의 화질을 향상시킨다. 잡음이 적은 보조정보는 와이너 지브 복호화 시 율 왜곡 성능을 향상시킨다. 실험결과는 기존 방법에 비해 최대 0.7dB에 이르는 성능향상을 보인다.
