본 논문에서는 HDTR, 디지털 TV, 영상전화, 멀티미디어 영상 등의 다양한 영상에 적용할 수 있는 영상 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 효율적인 영상 압축을 위하여 움직임에 따른 인간의 시각 효과 특성을 결합한 영상 부호화 기법이다. 입력 영상은 웨이브릿 변환을 통하여 다해상도 영상으로 구성된다. 데이터 압축은 저주파수 대역의 움직임 벡터를 움직임 정도에 따라 고주파수 대역 성분들을 처리함에 의해 얻어진다. 즉, 공간과 방향 주파수에 감도에 따라 인간의 눈에 민감하지 않은 대역을 제거한다. 대역내의 모든 블록을 균일하게 처리하는 기존의 방법에 비해 제안한 방법은 같은 전송율에서 재생 영상의 우수한 화질을 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 지각적 동영상 부호화 기법으로서 부 대역 부호화 기반의 시각적 민감도가 낮은 고주파 영역을 억제하는 기법을 동영상 코덱 전처리로 사용하는 것을 제안한다. 먼저 억제하기 위한 고주파 대역 설정을 위해 입력 시퀀스의 프레임들을 특정 주파수 대역으로 나눈다. 나누어진 주파수 대역 중 고주파 대역에 한에 적절한 이득 값 조절을 통하여 고주파 영역을 억제한다. 이와 같은 전처리 이후 동영상 압축 표준에 적용하여 인간의 시각적 구조의 인지 특성을 고려한 동영상 압축 효율을 얻는다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안 기법을 H.264의 전처리로 적용한 결과와 전처리 없이 적용한 결과를 비교하여 시각적 차이 없이 평균 9.56%의 데이터 감소 효과를 얻었다.

This Paper proposes a novel fractal image method for image communication to shorten time to take on fractal encoding by using limited search area method and scaling method First, the original image is contracted respectively by half and by quarter with the scaling method. And then, the corresponding domain block of the quarter-sized image which is most similar with one range block of the half-sized image is searched within the limited area in order to reduce the encoding time extremely As the result of the evaluation, the proposed algorithm provided much shorter encoding time and better compression ratio with a little degradation of the decoded image quality than Jacquin's method.

This paper proposes a novel fractal coding method for fast encoding and high compression to shorten time to take on fractal encoding by using limited search area. First. the original image is contracted respectively by half and by quarter with the scaling method and bit-plane method. And then, the corresponding domain block of the quarter-sized image which is most similar with one range block of the half-sized image is searched within the limited area in order to reduce the encoding time extremely. As the result of the evaluation, the proposed algorithm provided much shorter encoding time and better compression ratio with a little degradation of the decoded image qualify than Jacquin's method.

A stereoscopic 3D video service is able to provide a 3D video service while keeping backward compatibility with the existing 2D video service. In the terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, a stereoscopic video codec is required to have high coding efficiency in order to provide a 3D video service in the same channel capacity. A hybrid codec consisting of MPEG-2 for base video and H.264/AVC or HEVC for 3D auxiliary video is considered. Furthermore, Non-Real-Time (NRT) delivery of stereoscopic video is also considered as a service scenario for 3DTV services to overcome the limited bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a stereoscopic video coding scheme using adaptive loop filter (ALF) which had been considered in HEVC as a pre-/post-filter for enhancing coding efficiency in NRT-based 3DTV services. In order to apply ALF as a post-filter to the reconstructed additional view coded by H.264/AVC, we devise a method in which ALF is adaptively applied based on a structure determined by using macroblock (MB) coding information such as MB mode type and reference index instead of coding unit (CU) structure on which ALF is applied in the HEVC. Experimental results shows that the proposed stereoscopic video coding scheme applying ALF obtains up to 24.9% gain of bit saving.

The Depth Picture can be Encoded by the Plane Coding Mode that is the Method for Coding Mode by Considering a Part of the Picture as the Plane. In this Paper, we Propose the Method of Determining the Variable-sized Block for Variable Block Coding in the Plane Coding Mode for the Depth Picture. The Depth Picture Can be Encoded in the Plane Coding Through Estimating the Plane Which is Close to Pixels in the Block Using Depth Information. The Variable-sized Block Coding in the Plane Coding can be Applied as Follows. It Calculates the Prediction Error between Predicted Depths by the Plane Estimation and the Measured Depths. If Prediction Error is Below the Threshold, the Block is Encoded by Current Size. Otherwise, it Divides the Block and Repeats Above. If the Block is Divided Below the Minimum Size, the Block is not Encoded by the Plane Coding Mode. The Result of the Simulation of the Proposed Method Shows that the Number of Encoded Block is Reduced to 19% as Compared with the Method Using the Fixed-sized Block in the Depth Picture Composed of one Plane.

In this paper, we investigate the relationship of bitrate and quantization parameter needed for the trans-coding method that makes the H.264 bitstream of a particular bitrate to the other titrate. Also we propose the new method in order to transcode the titrate between H.264 video coded bitstreams. The proposed transcoding method updates the model parameters from previous picture or slice by using the approximated relationship of bitrate and quantization step-size and finds the target quantization step-size, and then generates the target titrate by simple coding processing just after requantization. Therefore, the proposed method does not need the complex bitrate control and converts to the target titrate by simple implementation. From simulation, we can see that the proposed method transcodes exactly to an assigned target bitrate for the four test sequences with different their characteristics.

JBIG2 is an International Standard fur compression of Bi-level images and documents. JBIG2 supports three encoding modes for high compression according to region features of documents. One of which is generic region coding for bitmap coding. The basic bitmap coder is either MMR or arithmetic coding. Pattern matching coding method is used for text region, and halftone pattern coding is used for halftone region. In this paper, a document is segmented into line-art, halftone and text region for JBIG2 encoding and JBIG2 CODEC is implemented. For efficient region segmentation of documents, region segmentation method using wavelet coefficient is applied with existing boundary extraction technique. In case of facsimile test image(IEEE-167a), there is improvement in compression ratio of about 2% and enhancement of subjective quality. Also, we propose arbitrary shape halftone region coding, which improves subjective quality in talc neighboring text of halftone region.

스테레오스코픽 비디오 영상은 좌측영상과 우측영상으로 이루어진 한 쌍의 영상으로 구성되며, 이들 좌우 영상들 사이에는 높은 상관관계를 가진다. 스테레오 영상의 압축을 위한 부호화는 이들 좌우 영상의 높은 상관관계와 각 시각 내에서의 이웃 픽쳐와의 시간적 상관 관계를 모두 고려하여 이루어진다. 이 때, 왼쪽 영상의 정보는 기저층에서 처리하고 오른쪽 영상 정보는 상위 층에서 처리하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 논문은 MPEG-2 다시점 프로파일을 이용하여 입체영상 부호화 코덱을 구현할 때, 상위 층의 픽쳐 처리순서에 따라 부호화 효율이 어떻게 달라지는지를 분석하여, 실제 시스템 운용을 위한 코덱 구조를 제안하였으며, DTV 및 HDTV급 스테레오 시퀀스를 사용한 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.
