Quantizer with bit rate control performs lossy compressionin moving image coding. Efficient quantizer can improve subjective quality of reconstructed image at the same bit rate because most of errors are occured at this stage. Although quantization matix of current compression stantards reflects human visual system, the performance of their quantization matrixes is not always optimal because they are not considering each image characteristics. We proposed a new adaptive optimal quantization matrix obtained by considering complexity of each image subblocks. It resulted in improvments of image quality about 0.05-0.82 dB and good subject quality at edge regions when we simulated the quantization method in various coding statndards.

This paper develops a novel robust information hiding technique that uses channel codes derived from the error-correcting coder. The message encoded by the cover encoder is hidden in DCT transform domain of the cover image. The method exploits the sensitivity of human eyes to adaptively embed a visually recognizable message in an image without affecting the perceptual quality of the underlying cover image. Experimental results show that the proposed data hiding technique is robust to cropping operations, lossy JPEG compression, noise interference and secure against known stego attacks. The performance of the proposed scheme with turbo coder is superior to that without turbo coder.

손실압축 기법을 사용하는 대부분의 표준 동영상 압축 방법에서는 이미지 변환 후, 변환된 계수들의 양자화를 수행하게 된다. 양자화 과정에서 발생하는 양자화 잡음으로 인한 영상정보의 손실은 복구 영상의 화질을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 H.26L의 테스트 모델인 TML-2를 기반으로 양자화 잡음의 평균값을 추가 보상함으로써 부호화기의 성능을 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과 비트율에서 평균 1.29% 개선과 PSNR에서 평균 0.93%개선이 있었으며, 특히 움직임이 적은 영상에서 더 큰 개선 효과가 있었다.

In JPEG2000, the Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF) 9/7-tap wavelet filter is implemented using the conventional lifting scheme. On the other hand, this wavelet filter has two problems: the filter coefficients remain complex, and the conventional lifting scheme does not consider the image edges in the coding process. This paper proposes an effective lifting scheme to solve these problems. For this purpose, optimal 9/7-tap wavelet filters were designed in two steps. In the first step, the appropriate filter coefficients were selected. In the second step, a median operator was employed to consider the image edges. The experimental results with the median lifting scheme and the combination of filter optimization with the median lifting show that the proposed methods outperform the well-known CDF 9/7-tap wavelet filter of JPEG2000 on the edge-dominant images.

주기적인 워터마크 패턴에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 워터마크의 동기 복원 방법이 제안되었다. 주기적인 워터마크 패턴을 이용해서 워터마크의 동기를 찾는 방법은 널리 알려져 있지만, 직접적으로 동기 복원을 위한 파라미터를 추정하지 않고 대부분이 피크를 검출하는 과정에 의지하고 있어 그 성능에 있어 한계가 있었다. 제안된 동기 복원을 위한 파라미터 추정 방법은 Radon 변환을 이용하여 손실 압축이나 의도적으로 동기 복원을 방해하려는 공격 하에서도 동기를 복원하는 능력이 탁월한 성능을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a robust watermarking technique that accepts time scaling, pitch shift, add noise and a lot of lossy compression such as MP3, AAC, WMA. The technique is developed based on digital filtering. Being designed according to critical band of HAS (human auditory system), the digital filters nearly affect audio quality. Furthermore, before implementing digital filtering, wavelet transform decomposes the audio signal into several signals that is composed of specific frequencies. Designed digital filters scan the decomposed signal. The designed digital filter, band-stop filter, distorts and eliminates specific frequencies of audio signals. Watermarking detection can be accomplished by FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). Firstly, segments of audio signal are transformed by FFT. Then, the obtained amplitude spectrum by FFT is summed repeatedly. Finally the watermark detector can find filters used to watermark encoding based on eliminating frequencies. The suggested technique can embed 4bits/s in a robust manner.

본 논문에서는 웨이브릿 변환 영역에 제안한 알고리즘으로 여러 공격에 강인한 워터마크를 삽입하고 성능을 분석하였다. 영상의 저작권 보호를 위해 웨이브릿 변환 영역의 LH와 HL의 부대역에 이진의 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 제안한 방법의 강인성을 실험하기 위해 명도 변화, 크기 변화, 필터링, 잘라내기, 히스토그램 평활화, 손실압축과 같은 영상처리를 하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 화질의 열화를 최소로 하여 워터마크를 삽입할 수 있고 여러 공격에 대해서 추출된 워터마크는 높은 상관계수로 인지되었다.

DCT는 손실압축 중에서 가장 많이 사용되는 블록기반 변환 코디이다. DCT는 통계적으로 최적의 변환인 Karhunen-Loeve 변환에 가깝다. 본 논문에서는 영상압축의 국제표준인 JPEG에 기반을 두어 TMS320C80을 이용하여 정지영상 부호화 기를 만들었다. 이 정지영상 부호화기는 크게 변환기, 양자화기 그리고 인코더의3가지 부분으로 나누어 구성되어있다.

When host images are watermarked with CRT (Chinese Remainder Theorem), the watermark images are still robust in spite of the damage of the host images by maintaining the remainders in an unchanged state within some range of the changes that are incurred by the attacks. This advantage can also be attained by "zero-watermarking," which does not change the host images in any way. This paper proposes an improved zero-watermarking scheme for color images on the DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) domain that is based on the CRT. In the scheme, RGB images are converted into YCbCr images, and one channel is used for the DCT transformation. A key is then computed from the DC and three low-frequency AC values of each DCT block using the CRT. The key finally becomes the watermark key after it is combined four times with a scrambled watermark image. When watermark images are extracted, each bit is determined by majority voting. This scheme shows that watermark images are robust against a number of common attacks such as sharpening, blurring, JPEG lossy compression, and cropping.

In this paper, we propose a structure far lossless audio coding method. Prediction model is used in the wavelet transform domain. After DWT, wavelet coefficients is quantized and decorrelated by prediction modeling. The DWT can be constructed to critical bands. We can get a lower data rate representation of audio signal which has a good quality like the result of perceptual coding. Then the prediction errors are efficiently coded by the Golomb-coding method. The prediction coefficients are fixed for reducing the computational burden when we find prediction coefficients.
