In this paper, we propose the transmit power controlled adaptive modulated OFDM with frequency symbol spreading and equalization(TPC-AMS/FSS-OFDM) system. In the transmitter of the TPC-AMS/FSS-OFDM, each SP transformed signal is spread by orthogonal spreading codes and combined, so the detected signals obtain the same SINR(signal interference to noise ration) for each frequency symbol spreading block. In this case, we can assign the same modulation level and transmit power for each frequency symbol spreading block. Thus, the proposed system provides the increased throughput performance with reducing the total transmit power, FBI and MLI.

A new image coding technique has been proposed based on the wavelet transform. To achieve lower ceding rates and good qualities in reconstructed images, some of wavelet coefficients were removed by thresholding and quantized in accordance with the sensitivity of the human visual system(HVS). For each block of subimages in wavelet transform domain, block thresholding scheme has been used to remove the unimportant wavelet coefficients according to the frequency characteristic and statistical property of wavelet coefficients. The location information of quantized blocks and removed blocks were encoded using run-length coder which is effective for the exponential distribution. Quantized coefficients were encoded using variable length coder which matches well to their distribution. Simulation results show that the reconstructed images maintain high quality with the low bit rate, below 1.0 bits per pel.

In this paper, we propose a variable step search fast motion estimation algorithm using local statistics of neighboring motion vectors. Using the degree of correlation between neighboring motion vectors, motion search range is adaptively adjusted to reduce unnecessary search points. Based on the adjusted search range, motion vector is obtained by variable search step. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has the capability to dramatically reduce the search points and computing cost for motion estimation, comparing to fast full spiral search motion estimation and other fast motion estimation.

We propowe a variable block-size transform coding. The size of transform block is adapted by the activity of the block, If the activity is lower than the given threshold, then the block-size is enlarged. In this paper, we use the energy of the transformed cofficients with high frrequency instead of the block variance as the block activity. The computer simulation results show that the reconstruction image by the proposed activeity measure gives superior picture quality to that by the block variance and the mean absolute difference.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상으로부터 변위를 추정할 수 있는 다양한 방법들 중 특정 기반 방식과 영역 기반 방식의 각각의 장점들을 살리고 단점들을 보완하기 위한 방법은 제안한다. 영상의 경계선을 이루는 특징점들은 전체 영상의 5% 내외의 소수로 추출되면서도 많은 양의 영상 정보를 가지고 있으므로, 이 점들에 대해 일정한 매칭 과정을 통해 대응점을 구하고, 이 중 90% 이상의 정확성 매칭 확률을 가진 대응점들을 영상으로 기준점으로 설정한다. 그리고 이러한 기준점 이외의 점들에 대해서는 추출된 기준점들의 순서에 맞추어 Ordering Constraint를 적용시키고 기준점에 따라 블록의 크기가 달라지는 영역 기반 방식을 적용하여 조밀한 변위를 추정하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 영역 기반 방식과 특징 기반 방식의 각각의 장점들을 이용하면서도 특정기반 방식의 문제점인 보간법 문제를 해결하였고, 또한 블록의 크기 따라 계산 시간과 정합 오차가 많이 좌우되는 영역 기반 방식의 단점들을 해결하였다. 또한 기준점을 이용하여 Ordering constraint 기반하에 영역 정보를 이용하므로 좀 더 올바른 순서 조건에 맞추어 대응점을 찾을 수 있고 또한 폐쇄 영역 부분도 쉽게 찾을 수 있었다.

H.264/AVC 는 다중 참조영상을 사용하여 움직임 예측/보상을 수행함으로써 보다 높은 부호화 효율을 얻을 수 있지만 다중 참조영상에 대한 움직임 예측으로 인하여 부호화 복잡도 증가를 야기한다. 본 논문에서는 공간적 상관성을 이용하여 참조영상 수를 제한함으로써 부호화기의 복잡도를 줄이는 고속 참조영상 결정 기법을 제안한다. 즉, 주변 블록의 부호화 정보와 현재 부호화하는 매크로블록의 $16{\times}16$ 화면간 예측 결과를 적응적으로 이용하여 참조영상 후보의 수를 줄인다. 모의실험에서 제안한 알고리즘은 JM17.2 에 비해 0.67%의 평균 비트율 증가의 미미한 부호화 효율 감소에 평균 47% 정도의 부호화 시간을 감소하였으며, 기존의 고속 기법보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper presents deblocking filter for low-complexity video decoder. Baseline profile of the H.264/AVC used for mobile devices such as mobile phones has two times higher compression performance than the MPEG-4 Visual but it has a problem of serious complexity as using 1/4-pel interpolation filter, adaptive entropy model and deblocking filter. This paper presents low-complexity deblocking filter for decreasing complexity of decoder with preserving the coding efficiency of the H.264/AVC. In this paper, the proposed low-complexity deblocking filter decreased 49% of branch instruction than conventional approach as calculating value of BS by using the CBP. In addition, a range of filtering of strong filter applied in intra macroblock boundaries was limited to two pixels. According to the experimental results, the proposed low-complexity deblocking filter decreased -0.02% of the BDBitrate comparison with baseline profile of the H.264/AVC, decreased 42% of the complexity of deblocking filter, and decreased 8.96% of the complexity of decoder.

There is the temporal correlation of the video sequence between the motion vector of current block and the motion vector of the previous block. If we can obtain useful and enough information from the motion vector of the same coordinate block of the previous frame, the total number of search points used to find the motion vector of the current block may be reduced significantly. In this paper, we propose the block-matching motion estimation using an adaptive initial search point by the predicted motion information from the same block of the previous frame. And the first search point of the proposed algorithm is moved an initial point on the location of being possibility and the searching process after moving the first search point is processed according to the fast search pattern. Simulation results show that PSNR(Peak-to-Signal Noise Ratio) values are improved UP to the 1.05dB as depend on the image sequences and improved about 0.33~0.37dB on an average. Search times are reduced about 29~97% than the other fast search algorithms. Simulation results also show that the performance of the proposed scheme gives better subjective picture quality than the other fast search algorithms and is closer to that of the FS(Full Search) algorithm.

In this paper, we present a deblocking algorithm that removes grid and staircase noises, which are called "blocking artifacts", occurred in the compressed satellite images. Particularly, the given satellite images are compressed with equal quantization coefficients in row according to region complexity, and more complicated regions are compressed more. However, this approach has a problem that relatively less complicated regions within the same row of complicated regions have blocking artifacts. Removing these artifacts with a general deblocking algorithm can blur complex and undesired regions as well. Additionally, the general filter lacks in preserving the curved edges. Therefore, the proposed algorithm presents an adaptive filtering scheme for removing blocking artifacts while preserving the image details including curved edges using the given quantization step size and content analysis. Particularly, WLFPCA (weighted lowpass filter using principle component analysis) is employed to reduce the artifacts around edges. Experimental results showed that the proposed method outperforms SA-DCT in terms of subjective image quality.
