In this paper, a variable quantization coefficient scanning for macroblock considering the histogram value of previous macroblock's quantization coefficient is proposed. In order to scan a quantization coefficient, the proposed method makes $4{\times}4$ histograms for various prediction modes($16{\times}16$, $16{\times}8$, $8{\times}16$, $8{\times}8$) by adding 1 if the value of quantization coefficient is not 0. After a final mode decision procedure, the $4{\times}4$ histogram of the final mode will be sorted. Then, quantization coefficients in corresponding macroblock of the next frame are scanned using the sorted order. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the total bits by approximately 0.01~2.25% with similar PSNR performance compared with the previous method.

H.264/AVC is the state-of-the-art video compression standard which achieves high coding efficiency compared with the previous standards. H.264/AVC adopts zig-zag scanning in order to encode quantized transform coefficients in a block. However, its performance is not satisfactory because all blocks are scanned in the fixed order without considering the characteristics of blocks. This paper presents an adaptive coefficient scanning method for improving inter coding efficiency in H.264/AVC. In the proposed method, the coefficient scanning order for each prediction mode is adaptively controlled based on the information of previously-coded blocks. The experimental results show that the proposed coefficient scanning method improves the coding efficiency about 2.29% for high-quality HD sequences.

우리는 본 논문에서 디지털 영상에 대하여 Hash함수를 이용한 내용기반의 안전한 워터마킹 인증기술을 제시하려고 한다. 허가되지 않는 이미지의 내용변경을 막기 위해 안전한 워터마킹 시스템을 개발하기 위하여 비밀키를 가지고 있는 Hash 함수가 사용되었고, 각 블록의 워터마크신호는 Hash함수의 출력결과를 Seed로 사용하여 의사난수를 발생시킨 값에 따라 생성되어진다. 이미지 기술벡터들은 블록기반 에지 이미지로부터 측정되는데 이 값들은 해롭지 않는 조작 등에 대해서는 쉽게 변화하지 않지만 고의적인 내용변경 등의 조작에 대해서는 이들 값들이 바꾸어지는 성질을 갖고 있다. 워터마크신호의 삽입은 블록기반 스펙트럼 방법에 기초를 두고 있으며 워터마크신호의 크기는 인지성과 강인성이 조화를 이루도록 AC 부 밴드의 지그재그 스캔라인의 DCT 계수들의 지역적인 통계량에 따라 조정되어진다. 또한 저작권인증의 확인을 위한 경계 값의 선택은 통계학적으로 분석되어진다. 수치적인 실험의 결과는 제안된 기술이 강력한 저작권인증의 수행을 위해서 매우 효율적인 것을 보여주고 있다.

This paper presents a systematic method of the zigzag gait planning for quadruped walking robots. When a robot walks with a zigzag gait, its body is allowed to move from side to side, while the body movement is restricted along a moving direction in conventional continuous gaits. The zigzag movement of the body is effective to improve the gait stability margin. To plan a zigzag gait in a systematic way, the relationship between the center of gravity(COG) and the stability margin is firstly investigated. Then, new geometrical method is introduced to plan a sequence of the body movement which guarantees a maximum stability margin as well as monotonicity along a moving direction. Finally, an optimal swing-leg sequence is chosen for a given arbitrary configuration of the robot. To verify the proposed method, computer simulations have been performed for both cases of a periodic gait and a non-periodic gait.
