Exactly measuring traffic load is the basis for efficient traffic engineering. However, precise traffic measurement involves inspecting every packet traversing a lint resulting in significant overhead on routers with high-speed links. Sampling techniques are proposed as an alternative way to reduce the measurement overhead. But, since sampling inevitably accompany with error, there should be a way to control, or at least limit, the error for traffic engineering applications to work correctly. In this paper, we address the problem of bounding sampling error within a pre-specified tolerance level. We derive a relationship between the number of samples, the accuracy of estimation and the squared coefficient of variation of packet size distribution. Based on this relationship, we propose an adaptive random sampling technique that determines the minimum sampling probability adaptively according to traffic dynamics. Using real network traffic traces, we show that the proposed adaptive random sampling technique indeed produces the desired accuracy, while also yielding significant reduction in the amount of traffic samples.

The H.264/AVC standard obtained better performance than previous compression standards, but it also increased the computational complexity of CODEC simultaneously. Various techniques recently included at the KTA software developed by VCEG also were increasing its complexity. Especially adaptive interpolation filter has more complexity than two times due to development for coding efficiency. In this paper, we propose low-complexity filter bank to improve speed up of decoding and coding gain. We consists of filter bank of a fixed-simple filter for low-complexity and adaptive interpolation filter for high coding efficiency. Then we compensated using optimal filter at each macroblock-level or frame-level. Experimental results shows a similar coding efficiency compared to existing adaptive interpolation filter and decoding speed of approximately 12% of the entire decoder gained.

In this paper, we propose a new, effective, fast motion estimation algorithms using $4{\times}4$ pixels Hadamard transform. The Hadamard transform has the advantage of simplicity because it uses only addition and subtraction. Motion estimation is composed of three stages. First, it should be decided whether to terminate the search early and use a previous motion vector with DC(Direct Current) coefficients. Then the adaptive matching scan order for motion estimation should be determined according to the image complexity using AC(Alternating Current) coefficients. Experimentally, we adapted this algorithms to MVFAST and PMVFAST algorithms, and the proposed algorithms turn out to be very efficient in terms of computational speed while remaining almost the same in terms of PSNR(Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) compared to MVFAST and PMVFAST algorithms.

This paper presents the digital signal processing submodule of a 100Base-TX Ethernet receiver to support 100Mbps at TP cable channel. The proposed submodule consists of programmable gain controller, timing recovery, adaptive equalizer and baseline wander compensator. The measured Bit Error Rate is less than $10^{-12}BER$ when continuously receiving data up to 150m. The proposed signal processing submodule is implemented in digital circuits except for PLL and amplifier. The performance improvement of the proposed equalizer and BLW compensator is measured about 1dB compared with the existing architecture that removes BLW using errors of an adaptive equalizer. The architecture has been modeled using Verilog-HDL and synthesized using samsung $0.18{\mu}m$ cell library. The implemented digital signal processing submodule operates at 142.7 MHz and the total number of gates are about 128,528.

Recently, lots of research works have been actively focused on the DVC (Distributed Video Coding) techniques which provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of light video encoder. However, most of these studies have showed poorer performances than the conventional standard video coding schemes such as MPEG-1/2, MPEG-4, H.264 etc. In order to overcome the performance limits of the conventional approaches, several channel-divided distributed video coding schemes have been designed in such a way that some information are obtained while generating side information at decoder side and then these are provided to the encoder side, resulting in channel-divided video coding scheme. In this paper, the interpolation scheme by weighted sum of multiple motion-compensated interpolation frames is introduced and a new channel-divided DVC scheme is designed to effectively describe noisy channels based on the motion vector and its matching characteristics. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method performs better than the conventional methods at low bit-rate and keeps the reconstructed visual quality constantly.

This paper proposes an effective single-image haze-removal algorithm with low complexity by using a dual dark channel prior (DCP) and an adaptive brightness correction technique. The dark channel of a small patch preserves the edge information of the image, but is sensitive to noise and local brightness variations. On the other hand, the dark channel of a large patch is advantageous in estimation of the exact haze value, but halo effects from block effects deteriorate haze-removal performance. In order to solve this problem, the proposed algorithm builds a dual DCP as a combination of dark channels from patches with different sizes, and this meets low-memory and low-complexity requirements, while the conventional method uses a matting technique, which requires a large amount of memory and heavy computations. Moreover, an adaptive brightness correction technique that is applied to the recovered image preserves the objects in the image more clearly. Experimental results for various hazy images demonstrate that the proposed algorithm removes haze effectively, while requiring much fewer computations and less memory than conventional methods.

In this paper, we proposed a postprocessing algorithm for quantization effects reduction in block coded images using the block classification and adaptive filtering. The proposed method consists of classification, adaptive inter-block filtering, and intra-block filtering. First, each block is classified into one of seven classes based on the characteristics of 8${\times}$8 DCT coefficients. Then each block boundary is filtered by adaptive inter-block filters according to the block classification. Finally for blocks which are classified into edge block, intra-block filtering is peformed. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives better results than the conventional methods from both a subjective and an objective viewpoint.

본 논문에서는 인간의 시각적 특성을 반영한 Just Noticeable Difference (JND) 모델을 사용한 움직임 예측을 통한 프레임율 향상 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 다중 프레임 기반 움직임 예측을 통한 프레임율 향상 기법은 움직임 벡터의 정확성을 높이기 위해 다중 프레임을 사용하며, 전체 영역에 대해 같은 블록 크기와 탐색 영역으로 움직임 예측을 수행함으로써 불필요한 계산량이 많아지고 움직임 벡터의 부정확한 예측이 수행된다는 단점이 있다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 인간의 시각적 특성을 고려한 Free Energy-based Just Noticeable Difference (FEJND) 모델을 사용하여 이전 프레임과 현재 프레임만을 사용하여 영역 특성에 따른 적응적 움직임 예측을 수행하여 정확성을 높인다. 실험 결과에 따라 제안하는 알고리듬의 성능이 향상되었음을 알 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) 복호화기의 SAO (Sample Adaptive Offset)를 효율적으로 병렬화하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. HEVC 는 주관적 화질 향상 및 압축 효율 향상을 위해 디블록킹 필터 (de-blocking filter)와 샘플 적응적 오프셋 (SAO)이라는 두 가지 인-루프 필터를 사용한다. 두 종류의 인-루프 필터의 사용은 HEVC 복호화기의 복잡도를 증가시키는 요인이며, 인-루프 필터에 데이터레벨 병렬화를 적용하여 고속으로 복호화를 수행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SAO 의 병렬화를 위해 CTU (Coding Tree Unit)의 행 단위로 병렬화를 수행함으로써, 병렬화로 인한 추가적으로 발생하는 라인 버퍼 사용을 줄여 SAO 병렬화 효율을 향상시켰다. 실험결과 제안하는 SAO 병렬화 방법을 사용하여 균등분할 SAO 병렬화 방법에 비해 91%의 속도를 향상시켰다.

The characteristics of transform coefficients of discrete Gabor transform and the performances of their progressive coding are investiganted. The adaptive transform coding SAC is used for the progressive transmission. Exprerimental results show that although DGT has relatively low energy compaction property and coding efficiency, it yields good quality with greaty reduced block artifact and good edge at each stage of the progressive transmission.
