The cases of radiographic inspection for medical diagnosis in Korea have been continuously increasing year after year, which pays particularly more attention to CT which occupies over the half of medical radiation exposure. To find an effective alternative for reducing radiation exposure, the researchers conducted comparative experiments using some shields made of bismuth, aluminum 6mm, and silicone 22mm. These shielding materials have been used to reduce the entrance surface dose (ESD) on lenses, maintaining the CT number, noise, and uniformity in brain CT scanning which forms the largest part in CT scanning these days. These experiments showed that the doses in the spiral scan parallel to IOML and the conventional scan in Bismuth were 26.41% and 17.52%, respectively; in Aluminum 18.24% and 9.39%; in Silicone 19.47% and 14.39% lower than compared with those in the cases without any shields. In the items of the CT number, noise, and uniformity, the bismuth shield satisfied exceedingly the standards of the phantom image test while aluminum and silicone were within. To keep the graphic quality and get good shielding effect, we recommend the silicone shield which can be manufactured and purchased with ease.

In this paper, enhanced multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) using reduction of one-pixel shift in wavelet domain is proposed. Conventional multiresolution motion estimation using hierarchical relationship of wavelet coefficient has difficulty for accurate motion estimation due to shift-variant property by decimation process of the wavelet transform. Therefore, to overcome shift-variant property of wavelet coefficient, two level wavelet transform is performed. In order too reduce one-pixel shift on low band signal, S$_4$ band is interpolated by inserting average value. Secondly, one level wavelet transform is applied to the interpolated S$_4$ band. To estimate initial motion vector, block matching algorithm is applied to low band signal S$_{8}$. Multiresolution motion estimation is performed at the rest subbands in low level. According to the experimental results, proposed method showed 1-2dB improvement of PSNR performance at the same bit rate as well as subjective quality compared with the conventional multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) methods and full-search block matching in wavelet domain.

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)/H.265 is a new video coding standard which is known as high compression ratio compared to the previous standard, Advanced Video Coding (AVC)/H.264. Due to achievement of high efficiency, HEVC sacrifices the time complexity. To apply HEVC to the market applications, one of the key requirements is the fast encoding. To achieve the fast encoding, exploiting thread-level parallelism is widely chosen mechanism since multi-threading is commonly supported based on the multi-core computer architecture. In this paper, we implement both the Tile-level parallelism and the Frame-level parallelism for HEVC encoding on multi-core platform. Based on the implementation, we present two approaches in combining the Tile-level parallelism with Frame-level parallelism. The first approach creates the fixed number of tile per frame while the second approach creates the number of tile per frame adaptively according to the number of frame in parallel and the number of available worker threads. Experimental results show that both improves the parallel scalability compared to the one that use only tile-level parallelism and the second approach achieves good trade-off between parallel scalability and coding efficiency for both Full-HD (1080 x 1920) and 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) sequences.

In this paper, 4K-UHDTV or 8K-UHDTV and UHD-3DTV that the next generation broadcasting implementation and the possibility of direct receiving environment construction is analyzed on the terrestrial broadcasting. Particularly, we investigated the possibility by analyzing the previous and related works with regard to UHDTV transmission by DVB-T2 that is one of the best commercialized transmission mode. In order that the UHDTV broadcasting succeeds once again after completion of digital terrestrial switch over at the end of 2012, the ultra high resolution image transfer is important. However, the direct, the indoor and ubiquitous receiving environment is important in not only TV but also the personal type multimedia terminal in the sense of UHDTV service penetration. Therefore, in this paper, by using SFN and high error-correcting mode in DVB-T2 standard, the efficient frequency utilization and effective reception environment construction is illustrated. Particularly, SFN network constitution by 2 mutually different frequencies including the VHF bandwidth and UHF band, and etc. is shown. And the method that builds the free wireless receive environment by using SFN low power radio repeater and for home use gap filler is proposed. And the effect and frequency amount required are presented, when UHDTV broadcasting use 10MHz bandwidth.

A wavelet-based digital watermarking algorithm is proposed that uses the successive subband quantization and human visual system (HVS). After an original image is decomposed into 4-level by the discrete wavelet transform, perceptually significant coefficients (PSC) of each subband excluding the lowest level subband are utilized to embed the watermark. PSC of the baseband ate chosen according to their amplitude and they are slightly modified to embed the watermark by a conventional embedding method. By the successive subband quantization, PSC of the high frequency subband are chosen and slightly modified according to the HVS. We tested the performance of the proposed algorithm compared with the conventional watermarking algorithm by computer simulation. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking algorithm produces a better invisibility and robustness than the conventional algorithm.

In a color image, people and especially facial patterns are important and interesting visual objects. Thus, effective skin color reproduction is essential, as skin color is a key memory color in color application systems. Previous studies suggested skin color reproduction by mapping only to the center value of preferred skin region. However, it is not suitable to determine one preference color because preference color from the observer's preference test is not dominant. In this paper, skin color reproduction using multiple preferred skin colors for each race is proposed. The proposed method first defines multiple preferred skin colors for each race according to their luminance level. After that, skin region is detected in an image. The race is then selected by calculating distance between average chromaticity of detected region and that of each racial skin from a database to assign preferred skin color for each race. Next, each corresponding preferred skin color is determined for each selected race. Finally, input skin color is proportionally mapped toward preferred skin color according to the difference between the input skin color and the preferred skin color for a smoothly reproduced skin color. In the experimental results, the proposed method gives better color correction on the objective and subjective evaluation than the previous methods.

The H.264/AVC standard achieves higher coding efficiency than previous video coding standards with the rate-distortion optimization (RDO) technique which selects the best coding mode and reference frame for each macroblock. As a result, the complexity of the encoder have been significantly increased. In this paper, a fast intra-mode decision algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational load of intra-mode search, which is based on the inverse tree-structure edge prediction algorithm. First, we obtained the dominant edge for each $4{\times}4$ block from local edge information, then the RDO process is only performed by the mode which corresponds to dominant edge direction. Then, for the $8{\times}8$ (or $16{\times}16$) block stage, the dominant edge is calculated from its four $4{\times}4$ (or $16{\times}16$) blocks' dominant edges without additional calculation and the RDO process is also performed by the mode which is related to dominant edge direction. Experimental results show that proposed scheme can significantly improve the speed of the intra prediction with a negligible loss in the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and a little increase of bits.
