  • This paper presents an adaptive equalizer using finite impulse response (FIR) filter and least-mean square (LMS) algorithm. Herein, the variable step-size technique (VSLMS) for compensating the amplitude of chrominance signal is utilized. The proposed equalizer can be enhanced and compressed the chrominance signal at color subcarrier. The LMS algorithm employed in simplicity structure but gives slow convergence speed. Thus, the variable step-size is very attractive algorithm due to its computational efficiencies and the speed of convergence is improved. In addition, experimental results are carried out by using the modulated 20T sine squared test signal. It is shown here that the adaptive equalizer can be equalized the amplitude chrominance distortion in color television transmission without relative delay distortion.

  • In the luminance and chrominance signal, luminance signal creates gray images, and is capable of making each color component compatible with monochrome system. And color components of luminance and chrominance signals are useful to encode or convert the signal because they have low correlation. Each color signal has low correlation statistically, but they are not independent of one another. Therefore, this paper proposes the watermark inserting algorithm for luminance and chrominance signal in the domain of frequency founded on wavelet, considering the interdependent characteristics of color components. Therefore, it can guarantee the robustness and invisible of digital watermark.

  • In this paper, we propose a color transient improvement (CTI) algorithm based on image fusion to improve the color transient in the television(TV) receiver or in the MPEG decoder. Video image signals are composed of one luminance and two chrominance components, and the chrominance signals have been more band-limited than the luminance signals since the human eyes usually cannot perceive changes in chrominance over small areas. However, nowadays, as the advanced media like high-definition TV(HDTV) is developed, the blurring of color is perceived visually and affects the image quality. The proposed CTI method improves the transient of chrominance signals by exploiting the high-frequency information of the luminance signal. The high-frequency component extracted from the luminance signal is modified by spatially adaptive weights and added to the input chrominance signals. The spatially adaptive weight is estimated to minimize the ${\iota}_2-norm$ of the error between the original and the estimated chrominance signals in a local window. Experimental results with various test images show that the proposed algorithm produces steep and natural color edge transition and the proposed method outperforms conventional algorithms in terms of both visual and numerical criteria.

  • In this paper, a multi-level adaptive intraframe method has been proposed to separate the luminance and chominance components in NTSC composite signal. The control signals are generated by detecting the vertical correlation and transition in the horizontal and diagonal directions. The chrominance component is adaptively processed through vertical and horizontal filters according to the control signals and the luminance component is processed by subtracting the chrominance component from the composite video signal. The several filters have been used at the sampling rate of four times the color subcarrier frequency and computer simulation and SVP(Serial Video Processing) system have been introduced to compare the performance of the conventional methods and that of proposed one.

  • In this paper, we propose a post-processing method to reduce the blocking artifacts. We perform the post-processing only in the spatial domain so that it is readily applicable to real-time video decoder. Many approaches proposed so far for deblocking deal with only The luminance signal. but here we propose processing the chrominance signals as well since the low bit rare application where the blocking artifacts are most problematic suffers significantly from the color misalignment caused by blocking artifacts occurring to chrominance data as well. The proposed method is composed of low pass filtering in two steps considering the edge direction. The first step is the IIR low pass filtering in the diagonal direction, and the second step is another IIR low pass filtering in horizontal and vertical directions.

  • In this paper, new adaptive interframe filtering methods have been proposed to separate the luminance and chrominance components in NTSC composite signals. In thess methods, the composite signals are adaptivelty processed in three dimensions according to the local change or movement of the picture. For interframe processing, two algorithms have been proposed which adapt three filters in the horizontal, vertical and temporal directions to the magnitude f detection signal dependent upon both the movement and local change of the picture. The three kind of filters have been used at the sampling rate of four times the subcarrier frequency. The various quantitative measures have been introduced to compare the objective performance of the conventional methods and that of proposed ones by computer simulation.

  • In this paper, we propose a non-linear interpolation of chrominance components based on the property of luminance signals to display color images effectively. The proposed method is more useful, in particular, for the images including stair-typed signal changes around edges. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to conventional methods in both objective and subjective performance.

  • A composite DPCM system is designed and implemented for the transmission of a NTSC color TV signal over a 44, 736Mbps channel. It is based on an intra-field fourth-order linear predictor and a nonlinear quantizer of five bits. The predictor preserves both the luminance and the chrominance components through one predictor. To accomodate the speed requirement for real time processing, mainly high speed ECL gates and memory devices are used in the hardware implementation. Experimental results show that this composite DPCM system can be applicable for a practical transmission of color TV signal with CATV quality.

  • This paper describes the design of a multistandard video encoder. The proposed encoder accepts conventional NTSC/PAL video signals, It also processes he PAL-plus video signal which is now popular in Europe. The encoder consists of five major building functions which are letter-box converter, color space converter, digital filters, color modulator and timing generator. In order to support multistandard video signals, a programmable systolic architecture is adopted in designing various digital filters. Interpolation digital filters are also used to enhance signal-to-noise ratio of encoded video signals. The input to the encoder can be either YCbCr signal or RGB signal. The outputs re luminance(Y), chrominance(C), and composite video baseband(Y+C) signals. The architecture of the encoder is defined by using Matlab program and is modelled by using Veriflog-HDL language. The overall operation is verified by using various video signals, such as color bar patterns, ramp signals, and so on. The encoder contains 42K gates and is implemented by using 0.6um CMOS process.

  • Recently, for the advancement of embedded technology about mobile device, a new kind of service, mash-up is appeared. It is service or application combining multimedia content making tool or device and web-GIS(geographic information system) service in the mobile environment. This service can be ease to use for casual user and can apply in various ways. So, It is served in web 2.0 environment actively. But, in the mashup service, because generated multimedia contents linked with web map are new type of multimedia contents which include user's migration routes in the space such as GPS coordinates. Thus, there are no protection ways for intellectual property created by GIS web-map service users and user's privacy. In this paper, we proposed a location and user information hiding scheme for GIS web-map service. This scheme embeds location and user information into a picture that is taken by camera module on the mobile phone. It is not only protecting way for user's privacy but is also tracing way against illegal photographer who is peeping person through hidden camera. And than, we also realized proposed scheme on the mobile smart phone. For minimizing margin of error about location coordinate value against contents manipulating attacks, GPS information is embedded into chrominance signal of contents considering weight of each digit about binary type of GPS coordinate value. And for tracing illegal photographer, user information such as serial number of mobile phone, phone number and photographing date is embedded into frequency spectrum of contents luminance signal. In the experimental results, we confirmed that the error of extracted information against various image processing attacks is within reliable tolerance. And after file format translation attack, we extracted embedded information from the attacked contents without no damage. Using similarity between extracted one and original templete, we also extracted whole information from damaged chrominance signal of contents by various image processing attacks.
