In this paper, we propose a wireless scheduling algorithm to provide the Internet delay proportional differentiated services in wireless networks. For considering network environments that have burst and location-dependent channel errors, our proposed WDPS(Wireless Delay Proportional Service) scheduling algorithm adaptively serves packets in class queues based on the delivered delay performance for each class. The remarkable characteristics of WDPS scheduler are supporting a fair relative delay service, providing graceful throughput and delay compensation, and avoiding class queue blocking problem. Through simulations, we show that the algorithm achieves the desirable properties to provide delay proportional services in wireless networks.

In this paper, we propose a Multi-Strata Space Time Code(MSSTC) for MIMO retransmissions. Since MSSTC is constructed by superimposing two OSTBC matrices, there are no intra-stratum interferences, but there exist inter-strata interferences. In MIMO retransmission environment, the transmitter switches adaptively the phases of strata at each transmission by using 1-bit feedback sent from the receiver in order to reduce the inter-strata interferences efficiently. We also propose a power allocation scheme between strata to improve error performance. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance than other conventional schemes.

CABAC is a context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding method. It increases the encoding efficiency by updating the probability based on the information of the previously coded symbols. Context modeler is a core block of CABAC, which designs a probability model according to the symbol considering statistical correlations. In this paper, an efficient hardware architecture of CABAC context modeler is proposed. The proposed context modeler was designed in Verilog HDL and it was implemented in 0.18 um technology. Its gate count is 29,832 gates including memory. Its operating speed and throughput are 200 MHz and 200 Mbin/s, respectively.

In scalable video coding, MCTF plays an important role for time-scalability and SNR-scalability. But there is image quality decreasing as MCTF level is increased because time interval of each frame is extended so that is hard to find suitable motion vector. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to prevent image quality from decreasing with unsuitable motion vector during MCTF update process using JND. We adapt JND to find errors within blocks of image and set a threshold which is used to add high frequency components during update process. We can overcome time-gap between frames and achieve better image quality through the proposed algorithm.

This paper is made up Advanced Image Coding(AIC) that combines algorithms from next generation image coding standard, H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 advanced video coding(AVC) and still image compression standard, JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group). AIC combines intra frame block prediction from H.264 with a JPEG style discrete cosine transform and quantization, followed by Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding(CABAC) as used in H.264. In this paper, we analyzes the efficiency of the AIC algorithm and JPEG and JPEG-2000, and it presents of result.

This paper presents a block loss recovery technique for the image block data corrupted by transmission losses through the employment of fine directional interpolation (FDI). The proposed algorithm introduces a spatial direction vector (SDV). The SDVs are extracted from the edge information of the neighboring image data. Subsequently, the SDVs are adaptively applied to interpolate lost pixels on a pixel-by-pixel basis. This approach improves the capability to more reliably recover high-detailed contents in the corrupted block. Experimental results demonstrate that the FDI method performs better as compared to previous techniques.

In this paper, a calculation-efficient method for weight update in the algorithm based on maximization of the zero-error probability (MZEP) is proposed. This method is to utilize the current slope value in calculation of the next slope value, replacing the block processing that requires a summation operation in a sample time period. The simulation results shows that the proposed method yields the same performance as the original MZEP algorithm while significantly reducing the computational time and complexity with no need for a buffer for error samples. Also the proposed algorithm produces faster convergence speed than the algorithm that is based on the error-entropy minimization.

This paper proposes the image segmentation algorithm to extracts a fish object from a fish image for fish image retrieval. The conventional algorithm using gray level similarity causes wrong image segmentation result in the boundary area of the object and the background with similar gray level. The proposed algorithm uses the reinforced edge and the adaptive block-based threshold for the boundary area with weak contrast and the virtual object to improve the eroded or disconnected object in the boundary area without contrast. The simulation results show that the percentage of extracting the visual-fine object from the test images is under 90% in the conventional algorithm while it is 97.7% in the proposed algorithms.

본 논문에서는 새로운 움직임 추정(motion estimation, ME) 방식을 사용한 프레임 비율 변환(frame rate conversion, FRC) 기법에 대해 제안한다. 기존의 프레임 비율 변환을 위한 움직임 추정 방식은 영상 압축에서 사용되고 있는 SAD를 사용하여 블록(block) 단위로 움직임 벡터를 추정하는 방식에 기초를 두고 있다. 그러나 잔여 신호(residual signal)를 저장하는 영상 압축과 달리, 잘못된 움직임 추정은 합성된 출력 영상에서 심각한 품질 저하를 가져올 수 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 움직임 개선(motion refinement, MR)이 사용되고 있지만, 근본적인 해결을 위해서는 정확한 움직임 추정 알고리즘 사용이 필요하다. 특히 SAD를 통한 움직임 추정은 고르지 못한 움직임 벡터장(motion vector field, MVF)을 형성할 수 있으며, 종래의 연구에서 이를 해결하기 위해 SAD(sum of absolute difference)에 벡터의 공간제약(spatial constraint) 항목을 추가하여 비교적 고른 움직임 벡터장을 형성하는 방식이 제시되었다. SAD와 공간 제약 항목의 반영 비율에 따라 움직임 벡터의 중요성과 움직임 벡터장의 일관성이 서로 상충하는데, 기존의 방식은 이 비율을 일정한 상수(constant)값을 사용하고 있으며, 이러한 방식은 이미지의 특성에 따라 결과가 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 SAD와 공간 제약 항목 사이의 반영 비율을 이미지의 특성에 적응하는 방식을 사용하는 움직임 예측을 제시하고, 수행한 결과를 기존의 방식에 의한 결과와 비교하였다.
