In this paper, "a wireless camera image transmission system" is aimed for the free camera shooting in the indoor and outdoor environments. Currently in broadcasting program production environments, because the cable connections between TV OB VAN(outside broadcasting VAN) and EFP camera or ENG camera have many obstacles and limits of distances, it is very unconvienent for the free camera shooting. Therefore in this paper, wireless image transmission device and receiving device in DVB-T broadcasting are developed. In this paper, analog composite image signal output camera, image signal compression MPEG-2 system and COFDM mage transmission system are produced and experimented. The results for the image and transmission system had good QoS values and from this results, it is possible to apply TV program productions and wireless CCTV device industries.

In this paper, we propose a multiresolution progressive image transmission with spatial and bit-rate scalabilities using a $2{\times}2$ DCT. The multiresolition image represented by a $2{\times}2$ DCT is used for the progressive image transmission with spatial and bit-rate scalabilities. Because the proposed progressive image transmission method supports both spatial and bit-rate scalabilities, it can be adaptively applied to the receiver's scalability requests. We compare the proposed progressive transmission with that of the higher-order convolution-based Wavelet method. Comparisons show that the proposed method needs much less computations, but insignificant loss of image quality.

In this paper, we propose a lossless progressive image transmission scheme using hierarchical pyramid structure and classified vector quantizer in DCT domain. By adopting DCT to the hierarchical pyramid signals, we can reduce the spatial redundance. Moreover, the DCT coefficients can be encoded efficiently by using classified vector quantizer in DCT domain. The classifier is simply based on the variance of a subblock. Also, the mirror set of training set of images can improve the robustness of codebooks. Progressive image transmission can be achieved through following processes: from top to bottom level of planes in a pyramid, and from high to low AC variance class in a plane. Some simulation results with real images show that the proposed coding scheme yields a good performance at below 0.3 bpp and an excellent result at 0.409 bpp. The proposed coding scheme is well suited for lossless progressive image transmission as well as image data compression.

In a multi-resolution image encoding system, the image is encoded into a single file as a layer of bit streams, and then it is transmitted layer by layer progressively to reduce the transmission time across a low bandwidth connection. This encoding scheme is also suitable for multiple decoders, each with different capabilities ranging from a handheld device to a PC. In our previous work, we proposed an edge adaptive hierarchical interpolation algorithm for multi-resolution image coding system. In this paper, we enhanced its compression efficiency by adding three major components. First, its prediction accuracy is improved using context adaptive error modeling as a feedback. Second, the conditional probability of prediction errors is sharpened by removing the sign redundancy among local prediction errors by applying sign flipping. Third, the conditional probability is sharpened further by reducing the number of distinct error symbols using error remapping function. Experimental results on benchmark data sets reveal that the enhanced algorithm achieves a better compression bit rate than our previous algorithm and other algorithms. It is shown that compression bit rate is much better for images that are rich in directional edges and textures. The enhanced algorithm also shows better rate-distortion performance and visual quality at the intermediate stages of progressive image transmission.

We analyzed about digital watermarking embedded transmission of still image in wireless multimedia communication environment. Also, we proposed improved watermark techniques. It effects that get in original image than method to use conventional image is less and shows robust watermark restoration ability from outside attack. Performance analysis achieved about still image and restoration of watermark information using OFDM/QPSK still image transmission system in wireless channel environment. Analysis result, VI watermark performance that influence in original image is very small. And it could know that show high restoration performance. Also, It showed superior copyright information extraction performance than image watermark in wireless channel environment of same transmission error condition.

In this paper, we propose a transmission rate compensation method to remove a haze of an image by using edge information of a haze image and image segmentation. With a hazed image, it is difficult not only to recognize objects in the image but also to use an image processing method. One of the famous defogging algorithm named 'Dark Channel Prior'(DCP) is used to predict fog transmission rate using dark area of an image, and eliminates fog from the image. But there is a big possibility to calculate a wrong transmission rate if the area of high RGB values is larger than the area of the reference area. Therefore we eliminate color distortion area to calculate transmission rate by using the propose method, and obtain a natural clean image from a hazed image.

In this paper, we propose a multi-level content transmission mechanism for intelligent quality of service (QoS) in social networking services (SNSs). Because existing SNSs and related work send image content to a client with a single fixed mechanism, they cannot consistently support content accessibility according to different conditions of QoS factors such as network congestion and throughput. In the proposed image transmission mechanism, our communication middleware (CM) provides an SNS developer with three transmission modes so that an SNS server or client can dynamically change the quality of images if required. In each transmission mode, an SNS server can send images to a requesting client with original high quality, thumbnail quality, or send only text information. With varying qualities of downloaded images, an SNS developed on top of CM can provide users with consistent QoS for access to SNS content.

Region-of-Interest is the region within the image selected for the users needs. The development of multimedia has made the expectation of image telecommunication higher, but the usage of the image, image transmission time, and image storage create problems. When transmitter or the receiver stops transmission at some point, we can still see the general image and the ROI maintains better image quality if the ROI is specified beforehand. In this paper, three methods are proposed and constructed for the transmission of ROI. In the first method, the ROI and the background are separated and then encoded as described above. The second method is to encode without separating the ROI and the background. The masked region is scaled and the coefficients are increased, then the region is transmitted first. The third method is the loseless coding of the ROI. For loseless coding, real number tap cannot be restored perfectly due to the rounding error, so the method of using integers is used. The proposed method shows a better performance than EZW even in case of ROI's PSNR at quality of 40 dB.

This paper proposes partial image encryption system for secure transmission of images. Partial image encryption is suitable for real-time processing purpose of multimedia data that needs compression and encryption. Compression part uses modified SPIHT algorithm and encryption part uses AES. Partial image encryption is significant reduction in encryption time in comparison with whole image encryption.

Nowadays it is necessary to replace electrical wires with another intelligent connection method because the consumers, who have much experience with mobile smart devices, are expecting easier and smarter connectivity in their home electronics such as wireless linking. In this paper a bidirectional CEC control scheme is newly proposed to expand the controllability from one to two way in a millimeter band image transmission system because two degree of freedom controllability presents more intelligent convenience in HDMI interface systems. Experimental study shows the feasibility of the proposed system as an advanced image transmission solution in millimeter band including an intelligent 2 DOF CEC interface with the performance result of 3.0 Gbps transmission band for 1080p full-HD image steaming.
