H.264/AVC는 최신의 국제 비디오 압축 표준으로 가변블록크기 지원, 다중 참조 프레임 움직임 보상 등의 기법으로 이전의 압축 표준인 MPEG-4, H.263등에 비해 비슷한 화질에서 비트율을 거의 50%정도 줄였다. 이러한 기법들로 압축 효율성이 높아진 반면, 계산 복잡도는 증가하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터 예측인 MVP를 이용하여 시간적 상관성을 고려하고 프레임 내의 주위 매크로블록 모드정보에 가중치를 부여하여 부호화를 매크로블록의 최종 모드를 빠르게 선택하는 기법을 제안한다. 실험에서 JM10.2의 모드 선택기법과 비교한 결과, 평균 85%이상 선택한 모드가 동일함을 보여주었다.

본 논문은 깊이영상의 화면 내 예측 부호화 과정에서 속도를 개선하는 기법을 제안한다. 부호화 과정 중 최적 모드 결정에 중요한 역할을 하는 율-왜곡 비용은 부호화 모드와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 영상을 분석한 결과, 컬러 영상의 최적 모드의 블록 크기에 따라 울-왜곡 비용이 차이나는 특징이 있다. 따라서 깊이 영상의 화면 내 예측 시 먼저 부호화 된 컬러 영상의 율-왜곡 비용에 따라 $16{\times}16$ 블록 크기를 결정한다. 제안한 기법을 참조 소프트웨어에 적용하여 실험한 결과 PSNR 차이는 거의 없었고, 부호화 시간은 평균 60% 이상의 속도를 개선하였다.

Versatile Video Coding (VVC)는 차세대 동영상 압축 표준화 과정에서 다수의 부호화 기술을 새롭게 채택하였는데, 이중 Multiple Reference Lines (MRL)을 포함한 일부 기술은 휘도 채널에만 적용될 수 있으며 색차 성분에 대해서는 적용이 고려되지 않는다. 본 논문은 VVC 에서 휘도 채널에만 적용되는 MRL 기술을 색차 채널로 확장하기 위하여, DM(Derived Mode)을 사용하는 색차 블록의 대응 휘도 블록이 MRL 을 사용하는 경우에 해당 참조 라인을 선택적으로 공유하여 색차 블록이 화면 내 예측에 복수개의 참조 라인을 고려하여 선택할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과, VVC Test Model (VTM) 15.0 대비 Cb, Cr 성분 각각 -0.09%, -0.05%의 성능 향상을 보인다.

Recently, high definition media services like HDTV and IPTV are growing. A fast reduced-size image extracting method is required to meet what those services require. Conventional DC image extracting methods, however, can't be applied to H.264/AVC streams since a spatial domain prediction scheme is adopted in H.264/AVC intra mode. To solve this problem, a thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC was proposed. However, the method has mismatch problem which was caused by round-off operation in intra prediction and mismatch between integer and floating point calculation. In this paper, we propose an error compensation method for extracting thumbnail directly in H.264/AVC bitstreams. The compensation method introduces the mismatch problem in thumbnail extraction and presents compensation values. Through the implementation and performance evaluation, proposed method compensated round-off error efficiently in D1 and HD sequences while the additional extraction time is negligible.

H.264/AVC can use three transforms depending on types of residual data which are to be coded. H.264/AVC always executes $4{\times}4$ DCT transform. In $16{\times}16$ intra mode only, $4{\times}4$ Hadamard transform for luma DC coefficients and $2{\times}2$ Hadamard transform for chroma DC coefficients are performed additionally. Quantization is carried out to achieve further data compression after transform coding is completed. In this paper, the hardware implementation for DCT transform, Hadamard transform and quantization is studied. Especially, the proposed architecture adopting the pipeline technique can output a quantized result per clock cycle after 33-clock cycle latency. The proposed architecture is coded in Verilog-HDL and synthesized using Xilinx 7.1i ISE tool. The operating frequency is 106MHz at SPARTAN3S-1000. The designed IP can process maximum 33-frame at $1920{\times}1080$ HD resolution.

Detection of double compression is one of the most efficient ways of remarking the validity of videos. Many methods have been introduced to detect HEVC double compression with different coding parameters. However, HEVC double compression detection under the same coding environments is still a challenging task in video forensic. In this paper, we introduce a novel method based on the frame partitioning information in intra prediction mode for detecting double compression in with the same coding environments. We propose to extract statistical feature and Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) feature from the difference of partitioning picture including Coding Unit (CU) and Transform Unit (TU) information. Finally, a softmax layer is integrated to perform the classification of the videos into single and double compression by combing the statistical and the DCNN features. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the statistical and the DCNN features with an average accuracy of 87.5% for WVGA and 84.1% for HD dataset.

The first frame is encoded in intra mode which generates a larger number of bits. In addition, the first frame is used for the inter mode encoding of the following frames. Thus the initial QP for the first frame affects the first frame as well as the following frames. Traditionally, the initial QP is determined among four constant values only depending on the bpp. In the case of low bit rate video coding, the initial QP value is fixed to 40 regardless of the output bandwidth. Although this initialization scheme is simple, yet it is not accurate enough. An accurate initial QP prediction scheme should not only depends on bpp but also on the complexity of the video sequence and the output bandwidth. In the proposed scheme, we determine the initial QP according to the ratio of the first frame to the total bits allocated to a GOP. To estimate the QP of the allocated bits, Rate-QP model is used. It is shown by experimental results that the new algorithm can predict the optimal initial QP more accurately and generate the PSNR performance better than that of the existing JVT algorithm.

The first frame of a GOP is encoded in intra mode which generates a larger number of bits. In addition, the first frame is used for the inter mode encoding of the following frames. Thus the intial QP for the first frame affects the first frame as well as the following frames. Traditionally, the initial QP is determined among four constant values only depending on the bpp. Although this initialization scheme is simple, yet it is not accurate enough. An accurate intial QP prediction scheme should not only depends on bpp but also on the complexity of the video sequence and the output bandwidth. In this paper, we propose a traffic model for finding the optimal initial QP which maximizes the PSNR of the GOP. We also propose a method to find model parameters for real-time video encoding. It is shown by experimental results that the proposed traffic model captures initial QP characteristics effectively and the proposed method for model parameters accurately estimates the real values.

The first frame is encoded in intra mode which generates a larger number of bits. In addition, the first frame is used for the inter mode encoding of the following frames. Thus the intial QP (Quantization Parameter) for the first frame affects the first frame as well as the following frames. Traditionally, the initial QP is determined among four constant values only depending on the bpp. In the case of low bit rate video coding, the initial QP value is fixed to 35 regardless of the output bandwidth. Although this initialization scheme is simple, yet it is not accurate enough. An accurate intial QP prediction scheme should not only depends on bpp but also on the complexity of the video sequence and the output bandwidth. In the proposed scheme, we use a linear model because there is a linear inverse proportional relationship between the output bandwidth and the optimal intial QP. Model parameters of the model are determined depending on the spatial complexity of the first frame. It is shown by experimental results that the new algorithm can predict the optimal initial QP more accurately and generate the PSNR performance better than that of the existing JM algorithm.
