In this paper, we propose new image coding using wavelet transform. The new method constructs hierarchical bit plane and progressively transports each bit plane. The proposed algorithm not only supports multi-resolution, dividing original image into special band and various resolution but also reduces blocking effects that come into JPEG In encoding time, this algorithm considers each band characters and priority of transport order, and applies to fast search of image.

In this paper, a method for classifying fingerprint ridge lines using runlength codes is proposed. To detect feature points(minutiae) in automatic fingerprint identification system(AFIS), classification of fingerprint ridge lines are essential process. The fingerprint ridge lines are classified by run-length coding, and also the end and bifurcation regions in ridge lines are separated. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, detected feature regions including minutiae points and classified fingerprint ridge lines are shown.

In order to provide an efficient way to processing with limited resources, we propose a wavelet coder that operates with little memory usage on the portable embedded system. In order to reduce redundancy in coding process caused by repetitive scanning of wavelet coefficients, the proposed coder uses a 2D significance coefficient array (SCA) which records the bit-level information of wavelet coefficients. The 2D SCA improves memory usage and processing speed required for image coding because it can perform significance check and bit coding of coefficients simultaneously.

In this paper, we propose a method of correcting depth image by the plane modeling and then improving the coding performance. We model a plane by using the least squares method to the horizontal and vertical directions including the target pixel, and then determine that the predicted plane is suitable from the estimate error. After that, we correct the target pixel by the plane mode. The proposed method can correct not only the depth image composed the plane but also the complex depth image. From the simulation result that measures the entropy power, which can estimate the coding performance, we can see that the coding performance by the proposed method is improved up to 80.2%.

In this paper, we propose an object-based stereo sequence compression technique using disparity-motion vector relationship. The proposed method uses the coherence of motion vectors and disparity vectors in the left and right Image sequences. After two motion vectors and one disparity vector ate computed using FBMA(Fixed Block Matching Algorithm), the disparity vector of the current stereoscopic pall is computed by disparity-motion vector relationship with vectors which are previously estimated. Moreover, a vector regularization technique is applied in order to obtain reliable vectors. For an object-based coding. the object is defined and coded in terms of layers of VOP such as in MPEG-4. we present a method using disparity and motion vector relationship for extending two-frame compensation into three-frame compensation method for prediction coding of B-VOP. The proposed algorithm shows a high performance when comparing with a conventional method.

In this paper, the wavelet image coder, that can encode the image to various bit rate with minimum memory usage, is proposed. The proposed coder is used the 2D significant coefficient array(SCA) that has bit level informal on of the wavelet coefficients to reduce the memory requirement in coding process. The 2D SCA is two dimensional data structure that has bit level information of the wavelet coefficients. The proposed algorithm performs the coding of the significance coefficients and coding of bit level information of wavelet coefficients at a time by using the 2D SCA. Experimental results show a better or similar performance of the proposed method when compared with conventional embedded wavelet coding algorithm. Especially, the proposed algorithm performs stably without image distortion at various b it rates with minimum memory usage by using the 2D SCA.

Currently, the efficient adaptive video streaming services and coding techniques are required to ensure quality of service (QoS) in diverse multimedia environments. To maintain optimal video quality in these environments, it is required to support scalable video coding (SVC) technique and proper QoS metric methods. In this paper, we propose a new quality metric that takes in to the temporal, the SNR, the spatial scalability on SVC. Experimental results shows that proposed method has a higher correlation with the subjective quality. We expect that the proposed metric plays an important role in deciding the coding parameter to optimize the quality of the SVC based video.

This paper suggests techniques to enhance coding time which is a problem in traditional fractal compression and to improve fidelity of reconstructed images by determining fractal coefficient through adaptive selection of block approximation formula. First, to reduce coding time, we construct a linear list of domain blocks of which characteristics is given by their luminance and variance and then we control block searching time according to the first permissible threshold value. Next, when employing three-level block partition, if a range block of minimum partition level cannot find a domain block which has a satisfying approximation error, There applied to 24-bpp color image compression and image techniques. The result did not occur a loss in the image quality of the image when using the encoding method, such as almost to the color in the YIQ image compression rate and image quality, such as RGB images and showed good.

In this paper, we propose a new bit assignment scheme for Wyner-Ziv video coding. Distributed video coding (DVC) is a new video coding paradigm which enables greatly low complexity encoding because it does not have any motion prediction module at encoder. Therefore, it is very well suited for many applications such as video communication, video surveillance, extremely low power consumption video coding, and other portable applications. Theoretically, the Wyner-Ziv video coding is proved to achieve the same rate-distortion (RD) performance comparable to that of the joint video coding. However, its RD performance has much gap compared to MC-DCT-based video coding such as H.264/AVC. Moreover, Transform Domain Wyner-Ziv (TDWZ) video coding which is a kind of DVC with transform module has difficulty of exact bit assignment because the entire image is treated as a same message. In this paper, we propose a feasible bit assignment algorithm using adaptive quantization matrix selection for the TDWZ video coding. The proposed method can calculate suitable bit amount for each region using the local characteristics of image. Simulation results show that the proposed method can enhance coding performance.

H.263 부호화 기법에 비해 H.263+에서의 주용 특징중 하나는 에러 강인성으로, 그중에서 계층부호화 모드는 한 개의 송신 영상에 대해서도 복호기와 전송로에 따라 여러 가지 화질의 재생 영상을 얻을 수 있는 기능, 즉 에러 및 패킷 손실 발생 가능 채널에서 비디오 정보 전송시 디코더측에서 사용 가능한 다양한 비트율, 해상도, 디스플레이 율을 허용함으로써 비디오 정보에 대한 전송을 향상시키는 기법이다. FEC(Forward Error Correction)기법에 의한 부가적인 비트 삽입에 제한적인 저 대역폭 네트워크 및 무선 통신망과 같은 네트워크 환경에서는 ATM(Asynchronous Transfer Mode)망에서와 같인 계층부호화된 비트 스트림의 기본 계층에 대해 무손실 전송이 어려우므로, 고급계층과 동등한 채널을 통해 전송시 기본계층 및 고급계층 모두에 대해서는 에러가 발생 할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 저대역폭 비디오 전송을 위해 계층 부호화 모드중 SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) 계층부호화로 부호화된 비트스트림을 에러 발생가능 채널로 전송시 각 계층에 대한 에러의 영향력을 실험한다.
