This paper proposes an algorithm to detect persons in bitstream domain by skipping a reconstruction picture process in HEVC decoding. A new 3-channel feature extraction map is introduced in this paper by modelling the relationship between bits per CU density, average PU shape in CU, and total transform coefficients in CU from syntax elements. A state-of-the-art of YOLOv3 detection algorithm is used to detect and localize person on extracted feature maps. Based on the experimental results, the proposed person detection framework can achieve mAP of 0.68 and be able to find persons on feature maps. In addition, the proposed person detection can save decoding time about 60% by removing reconstruction picture process.

As MPEG-2 is introduced, a new editing system that works at the compressed domain is required. It is efficient to paste the two different video sequences in the compressed domain, but after repeated pasting, the result sequence can violate MPEG-2 rate control algorithm. In other words, it causes the underflow of the buffer during the decoding time. The earlier study inserted an additional fade-in sequence but it is not natural when we make a program. In this paper, a nobel method using requantization of the underflow sequence is presented.

This paper develops a novel robust information hiding technique that uses channel codes derived from the error-correcting coder. The message encoded by the cover encoder is hidden in DCT transform domain of the cover image. The method exploits the sensitivity of human eyes to adaptively embed a visually recognizable message in an image without affecting the perceptual quality of the underlying cover image. Experimental results show that the proposed data hiding technique is robust to cropping operations, lossy JPEG compression, noise interference and secure against known stego attacks. The performance of the proposed scheme with turbo coder is superior to that without turbo coder.

This paper proposes an efficient transform-domain noise reduction scheme in an H.264 video encoder, where the generalized Wiener filtering is performed in a quantization process by multiplying each transform block with its adaptive multiplication factor. In practice, the computational complexity of the proposed scheme is negligible by replacing the multiplication operation with a simple look-up table method. Also, experimental results show that the proposed scheme provides outstanding noise reduction performance in an H.264 video encoder.

In this paper. we propose a digital watermarking method for still images in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. The adaptive watermark insertion method in the high frequency region within a given image is employed to increase the invisibility of the inserted watermark in images, in which variable block-size method is used for selection of the high frequency region. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is robust to several common image processing techniques. including joint photographic experts group (JPEG) compression, lowpass filtering, multiple watermarking, and croppIng.

Estimation and correction of color temperature of digital images are basis of white balance adjustment after image acquisition stage. White balance is one of the most important image processing techniques for subjective image quality enhancement. Correction of color temperature is applied for white balance adjustment or for changing the mood of a picture. A picture taken under the daylight can be changed to have a mood of sunset or cloudy day, for example. We evaluate color temperature transformation of high dynamic range images in linear and log domain, and we conclude that linear domain transformation shows better results.

본 논문에서는 Markov random field (MRF) 프레임워크와 영상의 기울기(gradient) 정보를 이용한 필드영상의 공간적 디인터레이싱(deinterlacing) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 디인터레이싱 결과를 보면 때때로 에지 부분의 연결이 정밀하지 못하여 눈에 거슬리는 재깅(jagging) 현상 등의 결함이 나타나기도 하는데, 제안하는 알고리즘은 이러한 현상을 줄이고자 영상의 기울기 도메인(gradient domain)에서 디인터레이싱을 수행한다. 즉, 제안하는 방식은 필드 영상으로부터 기울기 영상을 얻고 이를 보간한 후 필드영상과 복원된 기울기 영상을 토대로 원본 영상을 복원한다. 이 과정에서 각각의 픽셀마다 기울기 영상의 보간을 위한 에지 방향의 추정이 필요한데, 이 과정에서는 MRF 모델을 기반으로 에너지 함수를 설계하고 최적화시킴으로써 보다 강건한 추정결과를 얻도록 하였다. 프레임 영상 복원은 기울기 영상과 필드 영상 정보를 사전 정보로 하여 선형 방정식을 세우고 푸는 과정으로 이루어진다. 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법의 결과가 기존 방법에 비하여 눈에 띄는 결함을 줄이고 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있다.

Microstrip antennas generally have a lot of advantages that are thin profile, lightweight, low cost, and conformability to a shaped surface application with integrated circuitry. In addition to military applications, they have become attractive candidates in a variety of commercial applications such as mobile satellite communications, the direct broadcast system (DBS), global positioning system (GPS), and remote sensing. Recently, many of the researches have been achieved for improving the impedance bandwidth of microstrip antennas. The basic form of the microstrip antenna, consisting of a conducting patch printed on a grounded substrate, has an impedance bandwidth of $1\~2\%$. For improvement of narrow bandwidth of microstrip patch, we were designed U-slot microstrip patch antenna in this paper. This antenna had wide bandwidth for all personal communication services (PCS) and IMT-2000. For the design of U-slot microstrip patch antenna using a finite difference time domain(FDTD) method. This numerical method could get the frequency property of U-slot patch antenna and the electromagnetic fields of slots.

Since a display device such as TV or signage is getting larger, the types of media is getting changed into wider view one such as UHD, panoramic and jigsaw-like media. Especially, panoramic and jigsaw-like media is realized by stitching video clips, which are captured by different camera or devices. In order to stich those video clips, it is required to find out 2D Adjacency Matrix, which tells spatial relationships among those video clips. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), which is used as a compression transform method, can convert the each frame of video source from the spatial domain (2D) into frequency domain. Based on the aforementioned compressed features, 2D adjacency Matrix of images could be found that we can efficiently make the spatial map of the images by using DCT. This paper proposes a new method of generating 2D adjacency matrix by using DCT for producing a panoramic and jigsaw-like media through various individual video clips.

본 논문은 USAC(Unified Speech and Audio Coding) 오디오 부호화 기술의 성능 개선에 관련한 것이다. USAC 은 FD(Frequency domain) 양자화 모듈과 LPD(Linear prediction domain) 양자화 모듈을 탑재하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LPD 모드로부터 생성되는 잔차신호에 대하여 주파수 영역에서 다중밴드로 분할하고 각 밴드 별 양자화를 독립적으로 수행함으로써 USAC 의 LPD 모드의 양자화 효율을 개선하였다. 그 결과 동일 조건에서 제안방법이 기존의 LPD 모드의 성능을 음질 측면에서 향상시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.
