DVC (Distributed Video Coding) techniques provides a basic theory for the implementation of low-power video encoder. Conventional methods decide the parity bit request at decoder side. These are effective in controlling the bit-rate, but, are not able to control the visual quality. Thus, this paper presents an effective method of estimating visual quality improved by correcting the virtual channel noise for the reconstructed frame. Through several experiments, it is shown that the proposed method are able to estimate effectively the decoded visual quality.

이질적인 환경인 인터넷을 통한 멀티미디어 서비스가 확산됨에 따라 다량의 데이터를 가지는 비디 스트림의 전송이 늘어나게 되었다. 이로 인해 네트워크 트래픽의 대부분을 멀티미디어 데이터가 차지하게 되었고, 통신망 자원의 효율적인 사용을 위하여 사용자의 컴퓨터 환경이나 통신망의 환경을 고려한 비디오 데이터 전송에 관한 연구가 필요하게 되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 네트워크 QoS 를 고려하여 MPEG 비디오 데이터를 전송하도록 하기 위하여 Temporal Scaling 기법과 QoS 에 따라 frame-rate 을 조절하여 전송할 수 있는 Scalable 전송 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법을 사용하여 MPEG 비디오 데이터를 전송할 때 보다 효율적으로 통신망 자원을 사용할 수 있게 된다.

360 도 VR (Virtual Reality) 영상을 기존의 비디오처럼 재생하고 전송하기 위해서는 아직까지도 논의 되어야할 많은 문제들이 존재한다. 특히 보는 장면에 비하여 전방위의 영상을 보내야하는 VR 영상은 매우 큰 용량을 가질 수 밖에 없다. 그럼에도 불구하고 사용자의 불편함을 덜기 위해서는 HMD (Head-Mounted Displays) 의 빠른 반응 속도가 필요하다. 따라서 QER (Quality Emphasized Region)기반의 전송 기법은 영역별로 차별화된 화질의 영상을 전송하여 실감미디어의 몰입감을 유지하고 대역폭의 낭비를 줄이는 뷰포트 적응적 360 도 비디오 스트리밍 시스템 (Viewport-Adaptive 360-Degree Video Streaming System)의 일종으로 제안되었다. 그러나, 사용자의 시점 정보를 계산하기 위해서는 매 프레임마다 차원 변환을 위한 복잡하고 많은 계산이 필요하고, 이러한 중복된 계산은 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 요인이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 차원 변환에 따른 자원낭비를 줄이기 위하여 QER 선택을 위한 개선 방법을 제안한다.

This paper has been studied the adaptation technique for color vision variations in the MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA). As color is more widely used to carry visual information in the multimedia content, ability to perceive color plays a crucial role in getting visual information. DIA is performed respectively for severe color vision deficiency (dichromats) and for mild color vision deficiency (anomalous trichromats), according to the description of user characteristics about color vision variations. Adapted images are tested by simulation program for color vision variations so as to recognize the appearance of the adapted images in the color deficient vision. Experimental result shows that proposed adaptation technique works well in the MPEG-21 framework.

Content Centric Network (CCN) has been introduced as a new paradigm due to a shift of users's perspective of using Internet from host-centric to content-centric. On the other hand, a demand for video streaming has been increasing. Thus, Adaptive streaming has been introduced and researched for achieving higher user's satisfaction. If an architecture of Internet is replaced with CCN architecture, it is necessary to consider adaptive video streaming in CCN according to the demand of users. However, if the same rate decision algorithm used in Internet is deployed in CCN, there are a limitation of utilizing content store (CS) in CCN router and a problem of reflecting dynamic requirements. Therefore, this paper presents a framework adequate to CCN protocol and cache utilization, adapting content naming method of exploiting regular expression to the rate decision algorithm of the existing adaptive streaming. In addition, it also improves the quality of video streaming and verifies the performance through dynamic expression strategies and selection algorithm of the strategies.

As the networked media technology have been grown in recent, there have been many research works to deliver high-quality video such as HDV and HDTV over the Internet. To realize high-quality media service over the Internet, however, the network adaptive streaming scheme is required to adopt to the dynamic fluctuation of underlying networks. In this paper, we design and implement the network-adaptive HD(high definition) MPEG-2 streaming system employing the frame-based prioritized packetization. Delivered video is inputted from the JVC HDV camera to the streaming sewer in real-time. It has a bit-rate of 19.2 Mbps and is multiplexed to the MPEG-2 TS (MPEG-2 MP@HL). For the monitoring of network status, the packet loss rate and the average jitter are measured by using parsing of RTP packet header in the streaming client and they are sent to the streaming server periodically The network adaptation manager in the streaming server estimates the current network status from feedback packets and adaptively adjusts the sending rate by frame dropping. For this, we propose the real-time parsing and the frame-based prioritized packetization of the TS packet. The proposed system is implemented in software and evaluated over the LAN testbed. The experimental results show that the proposed system can enhance the end-to-end QoS of HD video streaming over the best-effort network.

In this paper, we propose Adaptive GOP Structure to enhance the coding performance of scalable video coding in JVT. Adaptive GOP Structure considers temporal variances of video sequence. In general, SVC encodes a video sequence with fixed GOP size. The coding performance is varying according to the temporal variance of a video sequence. Thus, Adaptive GOP Structure method is proposed. It selects GOP size adaptively by considering temporal variance of video sequence. In the experiments, the propose method showed the enhanced coding performance in most sequences. The PSNR gain of Crew sequence is up to 0.63 dB.

The orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems are well suited to multi-rate multicast transmission, as they allow flexible resource allocation across both frequency and time, and provide adaptive modulation and coding schemes. Unlike layered video coding, the multiple description coding (MDC) enables flexible decomposition of the raw video stream into two or more substreams. The quality of the video stream is expected to be roughly proportional to data rate sustained by the receiver. This paper describes a mathematical model of resource allocation and throughput in the multi-rate video multicast for the OFDMA wireless and mobile networks. The impact on mean opinion score (MOS), as a measurement of user-perceived quality (by employing a variety of scheduling disciplines) is discussed in terms of utility maximization and proportional fairness. We propose a pruning algorithm to ensure a minimum video quality even for a subset of users at the resource limitation, and show the optimal number of substreams and their rates can sustain.

Multi-layered video coding that provides scalability across the visual content has emerged for easily adaptive service over current heterogeneous network. However, the network is still error prone environment so that video service may suffer packet loss or erroneous decoding of the video. Especially distortion caused by the burst error may propagate to several pictures until intra refreshing, which will raise a terrific degradation of picture quality. To overcome the problem at terminal independently, we propose a new error concealment algorithm for the multi-layered video coding. The proposed method uses the similarity of between layers in the multi-layered video coding and POCS (Projections Onto Convex Sets) which is a powerful error concealment tool, but heavily dependent on initial values. To find adequate initial value which can reduce iteration times as well as achieve high performance, we took consideration into both features of layered approach coding and the correlation in neighbor blocks. The simulation results show that the proposed concealment method works well.
