This paper proposes a color image coding algorithm based on shape-adaptive all phase biorthogonal transform (SA-APBT). This algorithm is implemented through four procedures: color space conversion, image segmentation, shape coding, and texture coding. Region-of-interest (ROI) and background area are obtained by image segmentation. Shape coding uses chain code. The texture coding of the ROI is prior to the background area. SA-APBT and uniform quantization are adopted in texture coding. Compared with the color image coding algorithm based on shape-adaptive discrete cosine transform (SA-DCT) at the same bit rates, experimental results on test color images reveal that the objective quality and subjective effects of the reconstructed images using the proposed algorithm are better, especially at low bit rates. Moreover, the complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced because of uniform quantization.

Application of color coding to a jack board-type display has not yet been tried. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of color coding on a jack board-type display. Ten subjects searched 10*20 arrays of numbers for the presence or absence of a color coding. Five colors were used for the coding. Three subjects were selected among 10 subjects to repeat 11 times the above experiments. Detection time was reduced by 6.6% for the color coding condition. Three subjects did not show any results different from those in their inexperienced state, except the learning effect during repetition of the experiments. The results imply that the color coded jack board-type display may be efficient either to inexperienced subjects or to experienced subjects.

This paper proposes a novel lossless coding scheme for Bayer color filter array (CFA) images which are generally used as internal data of color digital cameras having a single image sensor. The scheme employs a block-adaptive prediction method to exploit spatial and spectral correlations in local areas containing different color signals. In order to allow adaptive prediction suitable for the respective color signals, four kinds of linear predictors which correspond to 2 ${\times}$ 2 samples of Bayer CFA are simultaneously switched block-by-block. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms other state-of-the-art lossless coding schemes in terms of coding efficiency for Bayer CFA images.

From the perspective of reducing the sampling cost of color images at high resolution, block-based compressive sensing (CS) has attracted considerable attention as a promising alternative to conventional Nyquist/Shannon sampling. On the other hand, for storing/transmitting applications, CS requires a very efficient way of representing the measurement data in terms of data volume. This paper addresses this problem by developing a measurement-coding method with the proposed customized Huffman coding. In addition, by noting the difference in visual importance between the luma and chroma channels, this paper proposes measurement coding in YCbCr space rather than in conventional RGB color space for better rate allocation. Furthermore, as the proper use of the image property in pursuing smoothness improves the CS recovery, this paper proposes the integration of a low pass filter to the CS recovery of color images, which is the block-based ${\ell}_{20}$-norm minimization. The proposed coding scheme shows considerable gain compared to conventional measurement coding.

최근 동영상 압축에 관한 국제 표준화 기구인 JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding) 에서는 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)의 확장 표준으로 HEVC/Range Extension (HEVC/RExt)의 개발을 완료하고 스크린 콘텐츠 동영상의 부호화기술을 위한 표준인 HEVC/Screen Content Coding (HEVC/SCC)을 제정 중이다. 기존 동영상 압축 과정에서는 이미지 센서로부터 취득한 RGB 영상을 변환하여 부호화를 수행하는 반면에 애니매이션, 그래픽스 등 컴퓨터로 합성한 영상을 일컫는 스크린 콘텐츠의 경우는 색 공간의 변환이 주관적 화질을 심각하게 열화 시킬 수 있으므로 기존 RGB 색 공간을 유지하며 효율적으로 색 공간 내 정보의 중복성을 줄이기 위한 부호화 기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 HEVC/RExt.와 HEVC/SCC에서 개발한 스크린 콘텐츠 동영상 압축을 위한 색 요소 예측 기법과 루프 내 색 공간 변환 기술의 성능을 분석한다. 실험 결과에 의하면 색 요소 예측 기법은 평균 약 11.7% BD-rate 감소, 색 공간 예측 기법은 평균 약 16.4% BD-rate 감소를 보인다. 그러나 두 기법이 동시에 적용되는 경우 약 18.2%의 BD-rate 감소를 보여 두 기법의 부호화 효율이 약 9.9% 중첩된다. 본 결과를 응용하여 두 기법이 배타적으로 선택이 되게끔 부호기 고속화를 수행하는 경우 약 0.3%의 부호화 손실로 93%의 부호화 측정 시간을 제공한다.

H.264/AVC High 4:4:4 Intra/Predictive profiles supports RGB 4:4:4 sequences for high fidelity video. RGB color planes rather than YCbCr color planes are preferred by high-fidelity video applications such as digital cinema, medical imaging, and UHDTV. Several RGB coding tools have therefore been developed to improve the coding efficiency of RGB video. In this paper, we propose a new method to extract more accurate correlation parameters for inter-plane prediction. We use a searching method to determine the matched macroblock (MB) that has a similar inter-color relation to the current MB. Using this block, we can infer more accurate correlation parameters to predict chroma MB from luma MB. Our proposed inter-plane prediction mode shows an average bits saving of 15.6% and a PSNR increase of 0.99 dB compared with H.264 high4:4:4 intra-profile RGB coding. Furthermore, extensive performance evaluation revealed that our proposed algorithm has better coding efficiency than existing algorithms..

To suggest a more efficient way of delivering information for process control under computerized environment, population stereotypes of colors were tested with 57 Korean subjects. The subjects were asked to associate 11 colors salient at electronic video displays with 55 pairs of adjectives that might be used when they explain the current state of process. The levels of association were evaluated with semantic differential methods by 7 point scales. Based on the multivariate analyses, the 55 pairs of adjectives were grouped into three distinct dimensions. The emotional maps of the 11 colors with respect to each dimension were presented. The Quantitative relationships between the colors and subjective impressions were also calculated by quantification theory I. On the basis of these color associations, it was suggested a general guideline for color coding when delivering process information

To trnsmit moving image signals by using an object vased coding technique at the rate of 8kbps~11kbps, it is very important to minimize the bit rates used for the compression of the color information of MF-objects. This paper proposes a hybrid coding method which uses the shpae adaptive coding method and the interframe reference method selectively. Gilge's shape adaptive orthogonal coidng method is utilized for shpae adaptive coding. The interfarame reference method approximates the low-passed signals of the image by gilge's shpae adaptive orthogonalization method and then refers the approximation error signals from the high frequency signal components of th eprevious frame. The proposed method achives the bit rates reduction of 17% compared to the gilge's shape adaptive orthogonalization method and 30% rduction compared to the shape adaptive DCT in average.

In this paper, we propose a new view synthesis technique for coding of multi-view color and depth data in arbitrary camera arrangements. We treat each camera position as a 3-D point in world coordinates and build clusters of those vertices. Color and depth data within a cluster are gathered into one camera position using a hierarchical representation based on the concept of layered depth image (LDI). Since one camera can cover only a limited viewing range, we set multiple reference cameras so that multiple LDIs are generated to cover the whole viewing range. Therefore, we can enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed views from multiple LDIs comparing with that from a single LDI. From experimental results, the proposed scheme shows better coding performance under arbitrary camera configurations in terms of PSNR and subjective visual quality.
