In this paper, the hybrid LB-TJW(Leaky Bucket-Triggered Jumping Window) algorithm for multimedia traffic control is proposed and its performance is evaluated and analyzed. Its architecture is composed of the peak bit rate controller and the average bit rate controller. Generally, the cell which violates the peak bit rate is discraded in LBalgorithm, and the average bit rate of JW or TJW algorithm is better than that of LB algorithm. However, the hybrid LB-TJW algorithm passes it though the network if the cell does not violate the peak bit rate. If the cell violates the peak bit rate, the hybrid LB-TJW algorithm passes it to the average bit rate controller which perforithm to monitor the average bit rate of input traffic. The TJW algorithm monitors the cell that violates the average bit rate. If the cell does not violate the average bit rare, the LB-TJW algorithm passes it through the network. As simulation results, the cell loss rate and the buffer size of the LB-TJW algorithm is reduced to half as much as those of LB algortihm.

Advances of telecommunication technology bring various changes in journalism field. Reporters started to gather, edit, and transmit content to main server in media company using hand-held smart media and notebook computer. This paper tried to testify valid bit-rate of visual news content using LTE network and mobile phone. Field news like natural disasters need real-time transmission of video content. But broadcasting company normally use heavy ENG system and transmission satellite trucks. We prepared and experimented different types of visual content that has different bit-rates. Transmission tool was LU-60HD mobile system of LiveU Corporation. Transmission result shows that bit-rate of 2Mbps news content is not suitable for broadcasting and VBR (Variable Bit Rate) transmission has better definition quality than CBR (Constant Bit Rate) method. Three different bit-rate of VBR transmission result shows that 5Mbps clip has better quality than 1Mbps and 3Mbps. The higher bit-rate, the better video quality. But if the content has much movements, that cause delay and abnormal quality of video. So optimizing the balance between stability of signal and quality of bit-rate is crucial factor of real-time broadcasting news gathering business.

In general, speech coding methods are classified into the following three categories: the waveform coding, the source coding and the hybrid coding. Fast speaking is possible to encode with a few information compared with slow speaking rate. In case of speaking rate, low frequency band is more important than high frequency band while listening. Speech vocoding technique is developing to way with low bit rate and complexity and high sound quality. the CELP type of vocoder support very good sound quality with low bit rate but these vocoders don't consider about the speaking rate. When we consider speaking rate and encode the frame depending on the speaking rate, the bit rate is able to reduce the bit rate than the conventional vocoder. We propose the technique to estimate the speaking rate and applied PSOLA technique in case of the frame of slow speaking rate. As a result of simulation bit rate can be reduced about 300 bps.

In this paper, a new bit rate estimation scheme is proposed to determine the bit rate for each subclass in an MPEG-2 TS to H.264/AVC transcoder after dividing an input MPEG-2 TS sequence into several subclasses. Video format transcoding in conventional IPTV and Smart TV services is a time-consuming process since the input sequence should be fully transcoded several times with different bit-rates to decide the bit-rate suitable for a service. The proposed scheme can automatically decide the bit-rate for the transcoded video sequence in those services which can be stored on a video streaming server as small as possible without losing any subject quality loss. In the proposed scheme, an input sequence to the transcoder is sub-classified by hierarchical clustering using a parameter value extracted from each frame. The candidate frames of each subclass are used to estimate the bit rate using a statistical analysis and a mathematical model. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme reduces the bit rate by, on an average approximately 52% in low-complexity video and 6% in high-complexity video with negligible degradation in subjective quality.

We proposed a new bit-rate control algorithm to improve MPEG-2 video software encoder. Bit-rate Control plays an improtant role in picture quality of MPEG-2 encoder. To achieve better encoding performance such as controlling picture quality and using bity properly, we proposed a MPEG-2 bit-rate control algorithm using linear average Step-Size. Using a benchmark Program, we compared our algorithm with MPEG-2 Test Model 5. Our proposed algorithm showed better Bit-Rate Control with respect to used bits, picture quality.

In this paper, we present a model-based video bit rate estimation scheme for reducing the bit rate while maintaining a subjective quality in many video streaming services limited by network bandwidth, such as IPTV services. First, we extract major parameters which serve as an indirect measurement of frame's bits. Using those parameters, the proposed bit rate estimation scheme can extract candidate frames. Finally, the bit rate of each segment is estimated by statistical analysis and a mathematical model based on a given target quality. In experimental results, we show that the proposed scheme can reduce the bit rate on average by 43% in low-complexity video while maintaining the subjective quality. To find the appropriate bit rate based on video contents, the proposed schemes can estimate the bit rate with neither the repeated full encoding nor subjective quality test. On average, the bit rate can be automatically estimated by encoding the candidate frames of 4%.

A novel rte control algorithm consisting of two major components, i.e. a variable encoding frame rate method and a hybrid DCT/wavelet I-frame coding scheme, is proposed in this work for low bit rate video coding. Most existing rate control algorithms for low bit rate video focus on bit allocation at the macroblock level under a constant frame rate assumption. The proposed rate control algorithm is able to adjust the encoding frame rate at the expense of tolerable time-delay. Furthermore, an R-D optimized hybrid DCT/wavelet scheme is used for effective I-frame coding. The new rate-control algorithm attempts to achieve a good balance between spatial quality and temporal quality to enhance the overall human perceptual quality at low bit rates. It is demonstrated that the rate control algorithm achieves higher coding efficiency at low bit rates with a low additional computational cost. The variable frame rate method and hybrid I-frame coding scheme are compatible with the bi stream structure of H.263+.

Bit allocation is a critical problem in video encoding such as MPEG. To improve the quality of the reconstructed sequence for a given bit rate, the assigned target bits for a group of pictures (GOP) must be allocated to each picture efficiently. In this paper, we derive a target bit allocation algorithm for more efficient rate control, by assuming that the average rate-distortion curve for an input source is logarithmic. This target bit allocation is based on Shannon's rate-distortion theory, which deals with the minimization of source distortion subject to a channel rate constraint. Simulation results show that the proposed target bit allocation algorithm provides better performance than the one in MPEG-2 Test Model 5 (TM5).

Currently, since the black-white QR (Quick Response) codes have limited storage capacity, color QR codes have been actively being studied. By multiplexing 3 colors, the color QR codes can allow the code capacity to be increased by three times, however, the color multiplexing brings about the possibility of crosstalk and noises in the acquisition process of the final image, incurring the decrease of bit-recognition rate. In order to improve the bit recognition rate, while keeping the storage capacity high, this paper proposes a new type of color QR code which uses the pattern information as well as the color information, and then analyzes how to increase the bit recognition rate. For this aim, the paper presents an efficient system which extracts embedded information from color QR code and then, through practical experiments, it is shown that the proposed color QR codes improves the bit recognition rate and are useful for commercial applications, compared to the conventional color codes.

Emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Advanced Driver Assistant System (ADAS) often have image transmission functions with tough constraints, like low power and/or low delay, which require that they adopt line-based, low memory compression methods instead of existing frame-based image compression standards. Bit rate control in the conventional frame-based compression systems requires a lot of hardware resources when the scope of handled data falls at the frame level. On the other hand, attempts to reduce the heavy hardware resource requirement by focusing on line-level processing yield uneven image quality through the frame. In this paper, we propose a bit rate control that maintains consistency in image quality through the frame and improves the legibility of text regions. To find the line characteristics, the proposed bit rate control tests each line for ease of compression and the existence of text. Experiments on the proposed bit rate control show peak signal-to-noise ratios (PSNRs) similar to those of conventional bit rate controls, but with the use of significantly fewer hardware resources.
