본 논문에서는 기존의 비디오와 오디오 중심의 멀티미디어 스트리밍 방법과는 달리 정지 영상의 스케줄 정보도 고려하여 전체 스트리밍의 QoS (Quality of Service)를 높이는 스트리밍 방법을 제안한다. MP4 콘텐츠의 분량이 커지고 내용이 복잡해질수록 비디오와 오디오 이 외의 데이터들을 더 이상 무시할 수 없게 된다. MP4의 장면 구성 정보를 알면 임의의 시점에서 재생되는 화면과 소리를 알 수가 있고, 이 정보, 즉 스케줄 정보를, 고려하여 정지영상 객체를 전송한다면 보다 효율적인 스트리밍이 가능하다 또한, 비디오와 오디오에 스케일러블 부호화를 적용하면 QoS를 높일 수 있듯이, 정지영상의 경우 Progressive JPEG을 이용하면 스케일러블한 전송이 가능하다. 이에 제안된 스트리밍 서버에서는 정지 영상 스케줄 정보와 정지 영상 객체를 Progressive JPEG으로 변환하여 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하고 있다.

기존에 H.264를 기본 계층으로 SVC와 MVC를 결합한 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화기를 SVC와 MVC의 DPB를 통합한 통합형 DPB(Decoded Picture Buffer) 설계를 바탕으로 구현하였다. 그러나 구현된 비디오 부호화기로 HD급 이상의 해상도를 갖는 영상을 압축하는데 있어서 효과적인 성능이 나오지 않았다. 이러한 이유로 SHVC와 MV-HEVC의 부호화 구조를 결합하여 고해상도 처리를 위한 스케일러블 다시점 부호화기 설계를 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 통해서 SHVC와 MV-HEVC가 통합된 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화를 효율적으로 구현할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

Various video rate control techniques have been proposed for the transmission of video under fixed channel capacity. In most techniques, the coding parameters and quantizer scaling factors are determined based on information derived from previously coded data. In this paper, an successfully used for video rate-control. Experimental results show that the proposed prediction-based rate control scheme can efficiently regulate the bit-rate caused by dramatic scene change and have better PSNR performance than the TM5 rate control mechanism.

In recent days, research activities on multimedia services mainly focus on the multiplexing system with timing synchromization for media components, such as video, audio and text. The MPEG-4 standard emphasizes object-based coding which includes analysis and understanding of the Image content. Since in MPEG-4 we can define objects and encode them independently, we can manipulate and display each object for different applications. This feature of MPEG-4 is also vero useful for multimedia services, such as video streaming cia different network channels, digital versatile disc, internet TV, video E-mail, and so on. In this Paper, we implement a multimedia streaming system which is compliant with the MPEG-4 system and the MP4 file format.

In this paper, we present a model-based video bit rate estimation scheme for reducing the bit rate while maintaining a subjective quality in many video streaming services limited by network bandwidth, such as IPTV services. First, we extract major parameters which serve as an indirect measurement of frame's bits. Using those parameters, the proposed bit rate estimation scheme can extract candidate frames. Finally, the bit rate of each segment is estimated by statistical analysis and a mathematical model based on a given target quality. In experimental results, we show that the proposed scheme can reduce the bit rate on average by 43% in low-complexity video while maintaining the subjective quality. To find the appropriate bit rate based on video contents, the proposed schemes can estimate the bit rate with neither the repeated full encoding nor subjective quality test. On average, the bit rate can be automatically estimated by encoding the candidate frames of 4%.

In video compression, Motion Estimation(ME) limits the performance of image quality and generated bit rates. However, it requires much complexity in the encoder part. Multi-view video uses many cameras at different positions. Multi-view video coding needs huge computational complexity in proportion to the number of the cameras. To reduce computational complexity and maintain the image quality, an effective motion estimation method is proposed in this paper. The proposed method exploiting the characteristics of motion vector distribution and the motion of video. The proposed is a kind of a hierarchical search strategy. This strategy consists of multi-grid rhombus pattern, diagonal pattern, rectangle pattern, and refinement pattern. Experiment results show that the complexity reduction of the proposed method over TZ search method and PBS (Pel Block Search) on JMVC (Joint Multiview Video Coding) can be up to 40~75% and 98% respectively while maintaining similar video image quality and generated bit rates.

In order to reduce the complexity of SVC encoding, we introduce a fast mode decision method in the enhancement layers of spatial scalability by selectively performing the inter-layer residual prediction of SVC. The Inter-layer residual prediction coding in Scalable Video Coding has a large advantage of enhancing the coding efficiency since it utilizes the correlation between two residuals from a lower spatial layer and its next higher spatial layer. However, this entails the dramatical increase in the complexity of SVC encoders. The proposed method is to analyze the characteristics of integer transform coefficients for the subtracted signal for two residuals from lower and upper spatial layers. Then it selectively performs the inter-layer residual prediction coding and rate-distortion optimizations in the upper spatial enhancement layer if the SAD values of residuals exceed adaptive threshold values. Therefore, by classifying the residuals according to the properties of integer-transform coefficients only with SAD of residuals between two layers, the SVC encoder can perform the inter-layer residual coding selectively, thus significantly reducing the total required encoding time. The proposed method results in reduction of the total encoding time with 51.5% in average while maintaining the RD performance with negligible amounts of quality degradation.

In recent years, rate control is an important technique in real time video communication applications using H.264/AVC. Many existing rate control algorithms employ the quadratic rate-distortion model, which is determine the target bits for each P frame. In this paper, a new rate control algorithm for transmission of H.264/AVC video bit stream through CBR(Constant Bit Rate) channel is proposed. The proposed algorithm predicts an adaptive QP(Quantization Parameter) for improving video distortion, due to high motion and abruptly scene change, which target bit rate and MAD(Mean of Absolute Difference) for current frame considering image complexity variance between previous and current frames. Additionally, it uses frame skip technique to maintain bit stream within a manageable range and protect buffer from overflow or underflow. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives a quality improvement of about 0.5dB when compared to previous rate control algorithm. Also our proposed algorithm encodes the video sequences with less frame skipping compared to the existing rate control for H.264/AVC.

The transcoding is needed to modify the bit rate of the video bitstream in accordance with the bandwidth of a variety of channels in order to provide users with a realtime multimedia service and more stable and credible VOD(Video On Demand) service on various wire/wireless network. This paper suggests how to guarantee the video quality in the transcoding process, taking the activity and direction of the macroblock into consideration, thereby reducing the calculation. The threshold of the macroblock's activity and direction is applicable to the different videos, with the DCT coefficients from the intermediate data in the decoding process. Moreover, the suggested video transcoding algorism enables us to maintain the proper video quality and reduce the calculation through the video bit rate change experiment in H.263 environment.
