In this paper, we propose an efficient fast integer-pel motion estimation for H.264/AVC using local statistics of local motion vectors. Using neighboring motion vectors, we define a new statistical property that is used to determine a mode of motion search range of current block. In addition, an adaptive motion search range compensated method that is based on cumulative statistics of previous coded blocks is addressed to solve the problem of the statistical motion search range decision method. Experimental results show that proposed algorithm has the capability to reduce the computational cost over the other methods.

This paper considers effective timetable modules in order to easily satisfy various user requirements during scheduling timetables in universities. Noticing that the methods for allocating time blocks change according to the timetable modules, we suggest six models of symmetric timetable modules composed of 4 blocks, and show that our models have more benefits without any loss from the viewpoint of customers, if the suppliers consider the decreasing upper bound of ratio utilizing space resources. By adapting a concept of potentially determined blocks and suggesting their management strategies, finally, we accomplish a method for supporting flexibility and controllability when the universities timetables are scheduled.

It is very difficult that a previous surveillance system and vehicle detection system find objects on a limited and unstable illumination condition. This paper proposes a robust method of adaptively updating a reference background image for solving problems that are generated by the unstable illumination. The first input image is set up as the reference background image, and is divided into three block categories according to an edge component. Then a block state analysis, which uses a rate of change of the brightness, a stability, a color information, and an edge component on each block, is applied to the input image. On the reference background image, neighbourhood blocks having the same state of a updated block are merged as a block. The proposed method can generate a robust reference background image because it distinguishes a moving object area from an unstable illumination. The proposed method very efficiently updates the reference background image from the point of view of the management and the processing time. In order to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed stable manner in situation that an illumination quickly changes.

The proposed algorithm in this paper is based on the wavelet decomposition and the energy computation of composed blocks so the amount of calculation and complexity is minimized by adaptively replacing the DWT coefficients and managing the resources effectively. We are now living in the world of a lot. of multimedia applications for many digital electric appliances and mobile devices. Among so many multimedia applications, the digital image compression is very important technology for digital cameras to store and transmit digital images to other sites and JPEG2000 is one of the cutting edge technology to compress still images efficiently. The digital cm technology is mainly using the digital image compression features so that those images could be efficiently saved locally and transferred to other sites without any losses. JPEG2000 standard is applicable for processing the digital images usefully to keep, send and receive through wired and/or wireless networks. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is one of the main differences to the previous digital image compression standard such as JPEG, performing the DWT to the entire image rather than splitting into many blocks. Several digital images m tested with this method and restored to compare to the results of conventional DWT which shows that the proposed algorithm get the better result without any significant degradation in terms of MSE & PSNR and the number of zero coefficients when the energy based adaptive DWT is applied.

OFDM is one of the promising modulation candidates for a fourth generation broadband mobile communication system because of its robustness against inter-symbol inteference(ISI). The OFDM transmission technique has the inherent flexibility to adapt the modulation scheme on each subcarrier according to the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). In this paper, the adaptive modulation scheme of OFDM system is proposed in broadband mobile channel. The proposed algorithm allocates initially the number of bits in each subcarrier using the threshold SNR according to the target BER and controls the total number of target bits using the well-known algorithm of Chow et al. In addition, the subcarriers of the proposed algorithm are clustered in blocks, that the signalling overhead can be reduced for the bit allocation of subcarriers. For the simulated experiments, this paper presents an evaluation for the effects of target BER, the various numbers of subcarriers in the subband block, and Doppler frequency on the performance of adaptive OFDM in broadband mobile channel.

Design of a linear predictor and matching of an entropy coder is the art of lossless audio coding. In this paper, we use the covariance method and the Choleskey decomposition for calculating linear prediction coefficients instead of the autocorreation method and the Levinson-Durbin recursion. These results are compared to the polynomial predictor. Both of them, the predictor which has small prediction error is selected. For the entropy coding, we use the Golomb-Rice coder using the block-based parameter estimation method and the sequential adaptation method with LOCO-land RLGR. The proposed predictor and the block-based parameter estimation have $2.2879%{\sim}0.3413%$ improved compression ratios compared to FLAC lossless audio coder which use the autocorrelation method and the Levinson-Durbin recursion. The proposed predictor and the LOCO-I adaptation method could improved by $2.2879%{\sim}0.3413%$. But the proposed predictor and the RLGR adaptation method got better results with specific signals.

In this paper, a new intermediate view reconstruction technique by using a disparity estimation method based-on the adaptive matching window size is proposed. In the proposed method, once the feature values are extracted from the input stereo image, then the matching window size for the intermediate view reconstruction is adaptively selected in accordance with the magnitude of this feature values. That is, coarse matching is performed in the region having smaller feature values while accurate matching is carried out in the region having larger feature values by comparing with the predetermined threshold value. Accordingly, this new approach is not only able to reduce the mismatching probability of the disparity vector mostly happened in the accurate disparity estimation with a small matching window size, but is also able to reduce the blocking effect occurred in the disparity estimation with a large matching window size. Some experimental results on the 'Parts' and 'Piano' images show that the proposed method improves the PSNR about 2.32∼4.16dB and reduces the execution time to about 39.34∼65.58% than those of the conventional matching methods.

본 논문에서는 비트평면 부호화를 이용한 적응적 깊이정보 맵 부호화에서 블록 단위 비트율 조절 방법을 제안한다. 기존 방법에서는 깊이정보 맵에 대한 비트율 조절을 위해 양자화 변수를 이용하여 분리된 비트평면의 이진 영상들 중 특정 비트평면의 이진 영상만 부호화하는 방법을 통해 비트율을 조절할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 비트율-왜곡 최적화 방법을 이용하여 블록 단위로 부호화할 비트평면의 이진영상을 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법이 기존 방법보다 BD-PSNR이 0.2 dB 향상되었고 BD-rate가 2.97% 감소되어 제안하는 방법의 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 H.264 표준 통영상 부호화 방식을 위한 순차적 움직임 벡터 오류 은닉 기법을 제안한다. H.264 표준 동영상 부호화 방식에서의 움직임 예측과정이 다양한 크기의 서브 매크로 블록 모드에 따라 자기 다른 움직임 벡터 개수를 갖게 되므로 움직임 벡터는 기존의 표준 부호화 방식에 비해 상대적으로 적은 영역을 대표하게 된다. 그러므로 이웃한 블록의 움직임 벡터간의 상관관계는 서브 매크로 블록의 크기가 작을수록 더 커지게 된다. 변화된 국부 통계 특성에 대한 적응도는 $\alpha-trimed\;mean$ 필터를 이용한 부호기의 부호화 순서를 따르는 순차적 움직임 벡터 오류 은닉기법의 성능을 좌우하는 가장 중요한 부분이다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안한 방식이 실시간 동영상 전송에 적합하며 기존 방식과 유사한 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다

H.264/AVC 는 움직임 예측/보상을 수행할 때, 하나 이상의 다중 참조영상을 허용하여 예측 정확성을 높임으로써 높은 압축효율을 얻을 수 있지만, 부호화기가 높은 복잡도를 갖는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC 부호화기의 높은 복잡도를 줄이기 위하여 이미 부호화된 주변 블록의 부호화 정보와 현재 부호화하는 매크로블록(MB)의 $16{\times}16$ 화면간 예측 결과를 적응적으로 이용하여 현재 부호화하는 매크로블록의 참조영상 후보의 수를 줄이는 고속 부호화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 알고리즘은 JM17.2 에 비해 평균 47% 정도의 부호화 시간을 감소시키며, 이때 평균 비트율은 1.4%로 부호화 효율의 감소가 미미함을 확인 하였다.
