This paper proposes hardware architecture of HEVC (high efficiency video coding) CABAC (context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding) binarizer. The proposed binarizer was designed and implemented as an independent module that can be integrated into HEVC CABAC encoder. It generates each bin string of each syntax element in a single cycle. It consists of controller module, TU (truncated unary binarization) module, TR (truncated Rice binarization) module, FL (fixed length binarization) module, EGK (k-th order exp-Golomb coding) module, CALR (coeff_abs_level_remaining) module, QP Delta (cu_qp_delta_abs) module, Intra Pred (intra_chroma_pred_mode) module, Inter Pred (inter_pred_idc) module, and Part Mode (part_mode) module. The proposed binarizer was designed in Verilog HDL, and it was implemented in 45 nm technology. Its operating speed, gate count, and power consumption are 200 MHz, 1,678 gates, and 50 uW, respectively.

In this paper, the performance of an OFDM/CDMA system with turbo coding is analyzed and simulated in a multipath fading channel. Bit error probability is derived fDr a Rayleigh fading channel. In an OFDM/CDMA system, an OFDM and a CDMA techniques are combined to exploit the advantages of both techniques. For decoding of turbo code, MAP decoding algorithm is employed. From the simulation results. it is demonstrated that turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding/decoding complexity. Also, it is shown that the BER performance is substantially improved by increasing the interleaver length for a fixed code rate and the increasing number of iterations used in the decoding process. The results in the paper can be applied to the design of OFDM-based CDMA system.

A trend in 3D mesh compression is codec design with low computational complexity which preserves the input vertex and face order. However, this added information increases the complexity. We present a fast 3D mesh compression method that compresses the redundant shared vertex information between neighboring faces using simple first-order differential coding followed by fast entropy coding with a fixed length prefix. Our algorithm is feasible for low complexity designs and maintains the order, which is now part of the MPEG-4 scalable complexity 3D mesh compression standard. The proposed algorithm is 30 times faster than MPEG-4 3D mesh coding extension.

This paper proposes a novel video coding system with rate control based on fractal algorithm To overcome the demerits of excessive amounts of coded bit generated by previous fractal coding methodology. the proposed system classifies the Image into three classes such as background, motion compensation, and fractal coding area. The motion vector for motion compensation, and the fractal offset value that is difference value between the predicted offset and the least-square approximated value are coded with variable length code The decision method which determines threshold value of partitioning quadtree is applied to the bit-rate control algorithm considering the quantity of currently generated bits and fixed channel bandwidth Experimental result shows that the proposed system enhances compression ratio 1.8 times higher than previous method for the same image quality, and performs efficient rate control for fixed channel bandwidth.

In this paper, we propose a new coding method based on the distance between vertex segments for vertex positions in the vertex-based shape coding. The pixel lines are divided into the segments of a fixed length, and the segments that have vertex pixels are called vertex segments. We analyze the probability distribution of the relative distance between vertex segments and prove that it depends only on the ratio between the number of vertices and the number of segments. Considering the coding efficiency and implementation complexity, we choose a particular ratio to make a code table. For each input image, the segment size is chosen according tothe ratio, and the relative segment distances are entropy coded. It is shown that the proposed method is efficient for the images with many vertices.

The amount of digitalized contents has been rapidly increased, but the main distribution channel of them is Internet which is easily accessible. Therefore 'security' necessarily arises as one of the most important issues and the method of protecting contents becomes a major research topic as much as data coding techniques. In recent years, many developers have studied on techniques that allow only authorized person to access contents. Among them the scrambling method is one of well-known security techniques. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective digital video scrambling method which utilizes the intra block properties of a recent video coding technique, H.264. Since intra prediction modes are adopted in H.264 standard, it is easy to scramble a video sequence with modification of the intra prediction modes. In addition to its simplicity, the proposed method does not increase bit rate after scrambling. The inter blocks are also distorted by scrambling intra blocks only. This paper introduces a new digital video scrambling method and verifies its effectiveness through simulation.

Image compression is an essential technique for saving time and storage space for the gigantic amount of data generated by images. This paper introduces an adaptive source-mapping scheme that greatly improves bit-level lossless grayscale image compression. In the proposed mapping scheme, the frequency of occurrence of each symbol in the original image is computed. According to their corresponding frequencies, these symbols are sorted in descending order. Based on this order, each symbol is replaced by an 8-bit weighted fixed-length code. This replacement will generate an equivalent binary source with an increased length of successive identical symbols (0s or 1s). Different experiments using Lempel-Ziv lossless image compression algorithms have been conducted on the generated binary source. Results show that the newly proposed mapping scheme achieves some dramatic improvements in regards to compression ratios.

In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy model identification method that can yield a successful fuzzy rule base for fundamental approximations. The method in this paper uses a set of input-output data and is based on a hybrid messy genetic algorithm (mGA) with a fine-tuning scheme. The mGA processes variable-length strings, while standard GAs work with a fixed-length coding scheme. For successfully identifying a complex nonlinear system, we first use the mGA, which coarsely optimizes the structure and the parameters of the fuzzy inference system, and then the gradient descent method which tine tunes the identified fuzzy model. In order to demonstrate the superiority and efficiency of the proposed scheme, we finally show its application to a nonlinear approximation.

In this paper, a low-complexity embedded compression (EC) Codec algorithm for the wavelet video coder is applied to reduce excessive external memory requirements. The EC algorithm is used to achieve a fixed compression ratio of 50 % under the near-lossless-compression constraint. The EC technique can reduce the 50 % memory requirement for intermediate low-frequency coefficients during multiple discrete wavelet transform stages compared with direct implementation of the wavelet video encoder of this paper. Furthermore, the EC scheme based on a forward adaptive quantization and fixed length coding can save bandwidth and size of buffer between DWT and SPIHT to 50 %. Simulation results show that our EC algorithm present only PSNR degradation of 0.179 and 0.162 dB in average when the target bit-rate of the video coder are 1 and 0.5 bpp, respectively.

In the Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) system channel, a large number of bit errors occur because of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and fading. When an image data is transmitted under the condition, reconstructed image quality is significantly degraded. In this paper, as an alternative to the error correcting code and/or automatic repeat request scheme, we propose an error recovery scheme for image data transmission. We first analyze how transmission errors in the DSRC system channel degrade image quality. Then, in order to improve image quality, we propose error resilient and concealment schemes for still image transmission using DCT-based fixed length coding, hamming code, cyclic redundancy check, and interleaver. Finally, we show its performance by an experiment.
