For the high quality 3-D broadcasting, depth maps are important data. Although commercially available depth cameras capture high-accuracy depth maps in real time, their resolutions are much smaller than those of the corresponding color images due to technical limitations. In this paper, we propose the depth map up-sampling method using a high-resolution color image and a low-resolution depth map. We define a random walk probability model in an operation unit which has nearest seed pixels. The proposed method is appropriate to match boundaries between the color image and the depth map. Experimental results show that our method enhances the depth map resolution successfully.

In this paper, we have experimented to improve the verification performance of speaker change detection on broadcast news. It is to enhance the input noisy speech and to apply the KL distance $D_s$ using the SNR-based weighting function $w_m$. The basic experimental system is the verification system of speaker change using GMM-UBM based KL distance D(Experiment 0). Experiment 1 applies the input noisy speech enhancement using MMSE Log-STSA. Experiment 2 applies the new KL distance $D_s$ to the system of Experiment 1. Experiments were conducted under the condition of 0% MDR in order to prevent missing information of speaker change. The FAR of Experiment 0 was 71.5%. The FAR of Experiment 1 was 67.3%, which was 4.2% higher than that of Experiment 0. The FAR of experiment 2 was 60.7%, which was 10.8% higher than that of experiment 0.

The sophistication and diversification of mission equipment for surveillance and reconnaissance is leading to a demand for large-capacity public data links. Overseas, a T4 class(274Mbps) common data link was applied to the Global hwak, a high-altitude unmanned aerial vehicle, and various research and development are being conducted in Korea. In this paper, we propose a structure in which pilot is additionally applied to improve SNR performance while minimizing data transmission rate loss in the DVB-S2 frame structure, which is a european satellite broadcasting standard, for high-capacity transmission of T4 class or higher in the common data link. For the performance evaluation of the proposed structure, the performance of the DVB-S2 was compared and analyzed by simulating the UAV data link channel environment. As a result of simulation, 0.15% of transmission rate loss occurred at T4 class transmission rate compared to DVB-S2 in the proposed structure, but improved SNR reception performance of 0.2~0.3dB was confirmed in the UAV channel environment.

The multi-view video is a collection of multiple videos capturing the same scene at different viewpoints. Thus, there is an advantage of providing for user oriented view pointed video. This paper is suggested that the compression performance of layered depth image structure expression has improved by using more improved method. We confirm the data size of layer depth image by encoding H.264 technology and the each performances of reconstructed images. The H.264/AVC technology has easily extended for H.264 technology of video contents. In this paper, we suggested that layered depth structure can be applied for an efficient new image contents. We show that the huge data size of multi-view video image is decreased, and the higher performance of image is provided, and there is an advantage of for stressing error restoring.

This paper presents an efficient joint disparity-motion estimation algorithm for stereo sequence CODEC. Disparity vectors are estimated by the left and right motion vectors and previous disparity vectors for every frame. In order to obtain more accurate disparity vectors. we include a spatial prediction Process after the feint estimation. From joint estimation and spatial prediction, we can obtain accurate disparity vectors and then Increase coding efficiency. Finally, we proposed the backward quadtree decomposition. which helps the encoder to have a more detailed disparity vector map without transmitting additional coding bits for quadtree information. We confirmed superior performance of the proposed method through computer simulation.

This paper presents a new estimation and representation of a disparity map for stereo-based video communication systems. Several pixel-based and block-based algorithms have been proposed to estimate the disparity map. While the pixel-based algorithms can achieve high accuracy in computing the disparity map, they require a lost of bits to represent the disparity information. The bit rate can be reduced by the block-based algorithm, sacrificing the representation accuracy. In this paper, the block enclosing a distinct edge is divided into two regions and the disparity of each region is set to that of a neighboring block. The proposed algorithm employs accumulated histograms and a neural network to classify a type of a block. In this paper, we proved that the proposed algorithm is more effective than the conventional algorithms in estimating and representing disparity maps through several experiments.

H.264/MPEG-4 AVC is jointly developed by ITU-T and ISO/IEC. It provides efficient coding efficiency compared with previous video standards. It reduced the bit rate by approximately $30%{\sim}70%$ while providing the same or better image quality. And, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC supports not only lossy coding but also lossless coding. In this paper, we suggest a method to improve lossless coding efficiency. Proposed method is based on Intra residual DPCM, it has same effect with the prediction from spatially nearest pixel. Also, proposed method does not broken decoder pipe-line. Experimental results, the method reduced the bit rate by approximately 12% in comparison with the H.264 Intra lossless coding. As a result, it is adopted into the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Advanced 4:4:4 profile.

H.264/AVC에서는 율-왜곡 최적화 기법을 사용하여 부호화 성능을 이전 보다 대폭 향상시켰다. 율-왜곡 최적화 기법은 선택할 수 있는 모든 코딩 모드들의 비용을 계산한 후, 최소의 비용을 가진 모드를 선택하여 부호화를 한다. 따라서 코딩 모드들이 많아질수록 복잡도 역시 증가하며, 기존 표준보다 다양한 코딩모드를 지원하는 H.264에서는 복잡도가 더 많이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 SAHTD(Sum of Absolute Hadamard Transform Difference)를 이용하여 화면 내 모드 결정부에서 빠른 화면내 모드 결정을 하면서도 압축 손실이 적게 발생하는 방법을 제시하였다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$블록, 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$블록, 색차 신호 $8{\times}8$블록 모두 SAHTD를 기준으로 최적의 모드가 결정된다. 휘도 신호 $16{\times}16$블록에서 SAHTD값에 따라 $4{\times}4$블록 부호화 과정을 조기 종결이 가능하게 하는 것과, 휘도 신호 $4{\times}4$에서는 SAHTD 값이 가장 낮은 3개의 모드와 MPM(Most Probable Mode)을 후보 모드로 선택하여 율-왜곡 최적화를 수행하는 방식이 사용되었다. MPM이 SAHTD값이 가장 낮을 경우 MPM이 휘도신호 $4{\times}4$블록의 최적의 모드로 선택되고 종료된다. JM 참조 소프트웨어를 통한 실험결과 제안된 기법은 기존 JM의 방식에 비해 화면 내 프레임의 부호화 시간의 84.7% 감소와 0.049dB의 PSNR 감소율, 0.595%의 비트 증가율을 보여주었다.

This paper describes issues and consideration on authoring of interactive multi-view visual content based on MPEG-4. The issues include types of multi-view visual content; scene composition for rendering; functionalities for user-interaction; and multi-view visual content file format. The MPEG-4 standard, which aims to provide an object based audiovisual coding tool, has been developed to address the emerging needs from communications, interactive broadcasting as well as from mixed service models resulting from technological convergence. Due to the feature of object based coding, the use of MPEG-4 can resolve the format diversity problem of multi-view visual contents while providing high interactivity to users. Throughout this paper, we will present which issues need to be determined and how they can be realized by means of MPEG-4 Systems.
