Hand posture recognition is an important technique to enable a natural and familiar interface in HCI(human computer interaction) field. In this paper, we introduce a hand posture recognition method by using a depth camera. Moreover, the hand posture recognition method is incorporated with MPEG-U based advanced user interaction (AUI) interface system, which can provide a natural interface with a variety of devices. The proposed method initially detects positions and lengths of all fingers opened and then it recognizes hand posture from pose of one or two hands and the number of fingers folded when user takes a gesture representing a pattern of AUI data format specified in the MPEG-U part 2. The AUI interface system represents user's hand posture as compliant MPEG-U schema structure. Experimental results show performance of the hand posture recognition and it is verified that the AUI interface system is compatible with the MPEG-U standard.

Polyhydroxyamides(PHAs) having poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether (MPEG) and/or dimethylphenoxy pendant groups were synthesized by solution polycondensation at low temperature. The inherent viscosities of the PHAs measured at $35^{\circ}C$ in DMAC or DMAc/LiCl solution were in the range of $0.51\~2.31dL/g$. This precursor polymers were studied by FT-IR, $1H-NMR$, DSC, and TGA. Solubility of the precursors with higher MPEG unit was increased, especially the polymer having MPEG $(M_n=1100)$ was soluble or partially soluble in ethanol, methanol, and water as well as aprotic solvents, but the PBOs were nearly insoluble in a variety of solvents. PHAs were converted to polybenzoxazoles (PBOs) by thermal cyclization reaction with heat of endotherm. In case of the precursors having MPEG nit, the precursor polymers with a higher $M_n$ were fully cyclized at a lower temperature than one with a lower $M_n$.

Stereoscopic video service is one of the most widely adopted technologies for 3-Dimensional technology. However, the stereoscopic video service has not been penetrated into the market since there does not exist a proper transmission method even though the conventional MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) has support for broadcast service of mono-scopic video contents. This is partly because the MPEG-2 TS does not support displaying a stereoscopic video content which consists of several composition types widely used in the market. This paper proposes the new MPEG-2 TS specification suitable for transmitting and displaying stereoscopic video contents. In order to show feasibility of the proposal, this paper describes an end-to-end system which is implemented with consideration of the method how to multiplex and de-multiplex stereoscopic video contents as well as keeping backward compatibility with the traditional MPEG-2 TS.

To improve video quality and coding efficiency, H.264/AVC adopts different half pixel calculating method compared with the previous standards. So, the transcoder requires additional works to transcode the pre-coded video contents with the previous standards to H.264/AVC in DCT domain. In this paper, we propose the first half-pixel correction method for MPEG-2 to H.264 transcoding in DCT domain. In the proposed method, MPEG-2 block is added to the correction block obtained by difference calculation of half-pixel values between two standards using DCT reference frame. Experimental results show that the proposed achieves better quality than pixel based cascaded transcoding method.

In this paper, we propose new methods used in MPEG codec that can improve the picture quality degradations of the reconstructed images, such as blocking artifacts, without additional computations. At first, a new 2-step MAD motion search is presented in the motion search and compensation course to reduce the computations and the errors of block boundary pixels. And we also present an overlapped 2-step MAD motion search that use the pixels beyond the block boundary using the reduced computations. In DCT/quantization course for intra-blocks, 1-D DCT predictive quantization and pixel difference predictive quantization, those use the adjacent pixel sets of the Previously reconstructed blocks and improve the inter-block continuity, are presented. As simulation results, proposed methods shows better picture qualities by reducing blocking artifacts than that of the conventional MPEG.

Most of the multimedia contents for DBM services art provided as MPEG-2 bit streams. However, they have to be transcoded to H.264 bit streams for practical services because the standard video codec for DMB is H.264. The existing transcoder architecture is Cascaded Pixel-Domain Transcoding Architecture, which consists of the MPEG-2 dacoding phase and the H.264 encoding phase. This architecture can be easily implemented using MPEG-2 decoder and H.264 encoder without source modifying. However. It has disadvantages in transcoding time and DCT-mismatch problem. In this paper, we propose two kinds of transcoder architecture, DCT-OPEN and DCT-CLOSED, to complement the CPDT architecture. Although DCT-OPEN has lower PSNR than CPDT due to drift problem, it is efficient for real-time transcoding. On the contrary, the DCT-CLOSED architecture has the advantage of PSNR over CPDT at the cost of transcoding time.

비디오 스트링의 표준이라 할 수 있는 MPEG은 데이터 발생량의 변화가 심한 군집성(bursty) 트래픽으로 망의 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하는 전송방식을 구현하기가 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 최소한의 품질을 보장하면서도 망 자원의 효율적 이용을 위하여 2계층 구조의 새로운 대역폭 할당 기법을 제안하였다. 사용자에게 최소한의 품질을 보장하면서 망에 대역폭의 여유가 있는 경우 보다 고품질의 서비스가 가능토록 하는 방안으로 ATM망의 CBR 클래스와 VBR 클래스를 복합적으로 사용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이의 구현을 위하여 2계층 구조의 MPEG 부호화기를 설계하였고 모의실험으로 기존의 단일 계층 CBR 클래스와 비교 평가하였다.

MPEG-4 시스템은 XMT(Extensible MPEG-4 Textual format)(1)라고 하는 텍스트 형태의 씬 디스크립션을 정의하고 있는데, 이는 XMT형태의 포맷을 다양한 재생 환경에서 상호 교환하여 사용하도록 하기 위해서이다. 본 논문에서는 XMT에서 정의하는 2가지 파일 포맷을 생성해내는 저작 도구를 소개하고, XMT-A 형태의 파일포맷을 VRML로 변환하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. VRML은 3차원 객체를 모델링하는 언어이고, XMT-A는 2차원과 3차원 객체를 모두 지원하기 때문에 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 XMT-A를 VRML로 변환할 때, VRML에 없는 2차원 노드에 대한 표현방법을 제공한다.

Currently, 3DTV technologies are being developed as the future services of the HD digital broadcast environment. As one of the various research topics to apply 3DTV technologies to the conventional broadcasting network, methods to configure stereoscopic videos are being studied. In this paper, we proposed a method to broadcast high quality stereoscopic videos based on analysis of a method to add a stereoscopic descriptor to the PMT of MPEG-2 transport streams and a method to transmit stereoscopic videos by the expansion of MPEG-C part 3 which are from precedent studies. The proposed technique maintains compatibility with conventional MPEG-2 transport streams by showing only reference video for models that do not support 3D broadcasting. Therefore, the compatibility between conventional broadcasting and stereoscopic videos should make this method useful when activating 3D services in the communications and broadcasting area

In this paper, we designed a FPU(floating point unit) that it is very important and requires of high density when digital audio is designed. Almost audio system must support the multi-channel and required for high quality. A floating point arithmetic function in MPEG-2 AAC that implemented by hardware is able to realtime decoding when DSP realization. The reason is that MPEG-2 AAC is compatible to the Audio field of MPEG-4 and afterwards. We designed a FPU by hardware to increase the speed of a floating point unit with much calculation part in the MPEG-2 AAC Decoder. A FPU is composed of a multiplier and an adder. A multiplier used the Radix-4 Booth algorithm and an adder adopted 1's complement method for speed up. A form of a floating point unit has 8bit of exponent part and 24bit of mantissa. It's compatible with the IEEE single precision format and adopted a pipeline architecture to increase the speed of a processor. All of sub blocks are based on ISO/IEC 13818-7 standard. The algorithm is tested by C language and the design does by use of VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). The maximum operation speed is 23.2MHz and the stable operation speed is 19MHz.
