The H.264/AVC is increasingly used in broadcast video applications such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV), digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) because of high compression performance. But the H.264/AVC coded video can be delivered to the widespread end-user equipment for MPEG-2 after transcoding between this video standards. This paper suggests a new transcoding algorithm for H.264/AVC to MPEG-2 transcoder that uses motion vector clustering in order to reduce the complexity without loss of video quality. The proposed method is exploiting the motion information gathered during h.264 decoding stage. To reduce the search space for the MPEG-2 motion estimation, the predictive motion vector is selected with a least distortion of the candidated motion vectors. These candidate motion vectors are considering the correlation of direction and distance of motion vectors of variable blocks in H.264/AVC. And then the best predictive motion vector is refined with full-search in ${\pm}2$ pixel search area. Compared with a cascaded decoder-encoder, the proposed transcoder achieves computational complexity savings up to 64% with a similar PSNR at the constant bitrate(CBR).

The vision for MPEG-21 is to define a multimedia framework to enable transparent and augmented use of multimedia resources across a wide range of networks and devices used by different communities MPEG-21 Event Reporting is required within the MPEG-21 Multimedia Framework in order to provide a standardized means for sharing information about Events amongst Peers and Users. There are several Time used in MPEG-21 Event Reporting. In this paper, we analyze and categorize various kinds of Time used in Event Reporting. And we define ERTimeType to be applied for every. Time used in Event Reporting and implement it by XML to support interoperability of standard. The ERTimeType structure we defined is established its objectivity as it is selected to 'ISO/IEC 21000-Part IS: Event Reporting WD 2.0'.

ISO/MPEG 에서는 스테레오 신호만을 부호화할 수 있는 MPEG-1 오디오 부호화 방법을 5.1 채널의 다채널 신호로 확장한 MPEG-2 오디오 방법을 제안하였다. 압축해야 될 신호가 증가하면서 MPEG에서는 채널 내의 부호화 방법으로는 MPEG-1에서 제안된 방법을 사용하고, 부가적으로 채널 간의 부호화 방법을 이용하여 MPEG-1과 호환이 가능하도록 하는 부호화 방법을 다방면에 걸쳐서 연구하여 표준화 작업을 진행하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG 오디오 부호화 방법을 두가지 측면에서 효율적으로 향상시키는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 첫 번째는 MPEG에서 제안한 오디오 부호화 알고리듬을 개선하여 음질과 비트율에 있어 향상시키는 것으로 각 서브밴드의 비트 할당 방법과 시간 영역에서의 마스킹 효과 등을 사용한 심리음향 모델 등의 개선 방법이 제안되었다. 두 번째 방법은 부호화기의 계산량을 감소시키는 방법으로 심리음향 모델이나 비트 할당시의 계산과정에 있어 반복적인 과정은 시간 여역에서의 중복성을 이용하여 계산량에 대한 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

Technology for compressing low-bitrate multichannel audio coding should be developed owing to the increasing need of consumer for multichannel audio contents and services. To meet this requirement, MPEG has standardized MPEG Surround. In this paper, we introduce status on MPEG Surround standardization and analyze techniques adopted in the current MPEG Surround.

MPEG-4 is an international standard for interactive multimedia data that is used for next generation audio-visual service. It presents an two types of storage formal such as XMT (eXtensible MPEG-4 Textual fount) and MP4 file format D store the interactive multimedia contents. The XMT, a textual format, has advantage of readability and it can be used in many applications since designed based on the XML In this paper, we present the way how to author the MPEG-4 contents using XMT.

In this paper, we present an intellectual property management and protection (IPMP) system in a broadcasting environment to provide mechanisms for copyright and contents protection that are compliant with the MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 IPMP Extension (IPMPX) specifications. The technology for processing IPMP related information was exploited, and a terminal model has been successfully designed and implemented. In addition, interoperability, which is the main objective of MPEG-2/4 IPMPX, has been addressed in detail. The experimental results show that the implemented system performs the IPMP process well, meeting the requirements of a broadcasting environment.

The H.264/AVC video coding standard provides higher coding efnciency compared to the conventional MPEG-2 standard. Since a lot of videos have been encoded using MPEG-2, the format conversion from MPEG-2 to H.264 is essential. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for the conversion of DCT coefficients to H.264/AVC transform coefficients. This conversion is essential, since $8{\times}8$ DCT and $4{\times}4$ integer transform are used in MPEG-2 and H.264/AVC, respectively. The mathematical analysis and computer simulation show that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced compared to the conventional algorithm, while the loss caused by the conversion is negligible.

DV(Digital Video) 영상 압축 방식에서 MPEG-2로 변환할 때 처리단계를 줄이기 위하여 DCT 영역에서 변환하였다. DV 방식의 색차신호 포맷인 4:1:1에서 4:2:2로 변환하고, 2-4-8 DCT 모드를 변환할 때 행렬을 이용하여 변환함으로써 중간과정을 줄였으며, DCT 영역에서 MPEG-2의 율 제어를 구현하였다. DV에서 만든 DCT 계수를 이용하여, 단계적으로 움직임 추정을 함으로써 전역탐색 블록 매칭 방식보다 처리 속도를 개선하였다.

This paper proposes more robust error concealment techniques (ECTs) for MPEG-2 intra coded frame. MPEG-2 source coding algorithm is very sensitive to transmission errors due to the use of variable-length coding. The transmission errors are corrected by error correction scheme, however, they cannot be revised properly. Error concealment (EC) is used to conceal the errors which are not corrected by error correction and to provide minimum visual distortion at the decoder. If errors are generated in intra coded frame, that is the starting frame of GOP, they are propagated to other inter coded frames due to the nature of motion compensated prediction coding. Such propagation of error may cause severe visual distortion. The proposed algorithm in this paper utilizes the spatio-temporal information of neighboring inter coded frames to conceal the successive slices errors occurred in I-frame. The proposed method also overcomes the problems that previous ECTs reside. The proposed algorithm generates consistent performance even in network where the violent transmission errors frequently occur. Algorithm is performed in MPEG-2 video codec and we can confirm that the proposed algorithm provides less visible distortion and higher PSNR than other approaches through simulations.
