Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is an upcoming standard in Korea used to provide mobile multimedia broadcasting service based on the Eureka-147 Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) system. The current dominant multimedia coding standard, MPEG-4, is foreseen to play an important role in forthcoming DMB services. However, the current approaches for transporting MPEG-4 content over DMB networks are not optimized. To address this issue we propose a novel MPEG-4 stream multiplexer, called M4SMux, which provides better stream multiplexing and delivery over DMB networks. M4SMux features an MPEG-4 elementary-stream interleaving mechanism that reduces the multiplexing overhead and a multiplex configuration mechanism that utilizes M4SLinkTable for easy content access. In addition, we propose an error correction method which enhances transport efficiency.

This paper has presented the efficient implementation of MPEG-4 simple profile video decoder, which is used as video compression standard in mobile video communication. We have used the ARM9 processor in implementing this MPEG-4 simple profile, which requires much processing power and low power implementation. At first we implemented with C-language under the PC environment with ADS(ARM Developer Suite) environment, and then we have tried to reduce a clock cycle for a power consumption optimization through conversion an assembly language for C-code partly. We have verified the processor is operated at 22.47MHz operation after optimization, but 148MHz before optimization.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-4 Version2 Audio 표준에 근거하여 낮은 연산부담을 갖는 독자적인 엘고리즘을 적용한 MPEG-4 BSAC Audio 디코더를 개발하였다. 개발된 BSAC 디코더는 32bit RISC 구조를 갖는 Intel Xscale Processor 기반 시스템에 최적화하여 구현 및 평가를 수행하였다. 수행속도 증가 및 연산 정밀도 향상을 위해 각 기능 블록별 기능 및 구현 원리 연구와 32 bit 연산 구조를 파악하여, 이를 고정소수점 연산 구조로 구현함으로써 성능을 향상시켰다. 유한비트에 따른 오차 영향을 최소화하기 위해 데이터의 표현 범위에 대한 연구를 통해 근사한 오차를 최소화 하여 연산 정밀도를 향상 시키고자 하였다. 비선형 양자화기 및 filter bank 등 상대적으로 높은 연산 부담을 갖는 기능 블록은 Table look-up, 보간법, 지수연산 제거, pre/post scrambling 기법 등을 적용하여 최적화 하였다. 최종적으로 개발된 BSAC 디코더는 32 bit 연산 구조의 X-scale 프로세서를 탑재한 Development Board와 WindowsCE OS로 구성된 타겟 system에 이식하여 performance 평가하였으며, 높은 연산 정밀도 및 다른 수행속도를 확인할 수 있었다. 주관적인 청각 평가에서도 MPEG-4 reference 디코더와의 음원의 차이가 거의 없음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose the VLSI design of Multi-Format Video Decoder (MFD) to support video codec standards such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and VC-1. The target of the proposed MFD is the Full HD (High Definition) video processing needed for the high-end D-TV SoC (System-on-Chip). The size of the design is reduced by sharing the common large-size resources such as the RISC processor and the on-chip memory among the different codecs. In addition, a detachable architecture is introduced in order to easily add or remove the codecs. The detachable architecture preserves the stability of the previously designed and verified codecs. The size of the design is about 2.4 M gates and the operating clock frequency is 225MHz in the Samsung 65nm process. The proposed MFD supports more than Full-HD (1080p@30fps) video decoding, and the largest number of video codec standards known so far.

MPEG-21 has identified the need fur Event Reporting in its vision for an interoperable multimedia framework. 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. Such Events relate to Digital Items and/or Peers that interact with them. Arising from an each Event, there is the opportunity to describe what occurred. However, there are a number of difficulties in providing an accurate report about an Event. Different observers of the Event may have vastly different perspectives, needs, and focuses. They may emphasize certain elements to the detriment of others, or they may describe an Event in a way that others may find confusing. In this paper, we design how to express Event Reporting message structure and system architecture in compliance with ISO/IEC 21000-15. And we implement the system for MPEG-21 Event Reporting service.

Real-time multimedia transmit services like internet broadcasting, web-based education, chatting, conference, circumference observation etc. by using internet are given a great deal of weight on most recently internet services. In these way, various internet services are presented and there applications are also gradually spreaded because of improvement MPEG and streaming processing techniques. But currently internet service is a development of system which has independent function of above services. And a research and development of system which have a multipurpose internet service are insufficiency. In this paper, we design and develop system(RealCam SUN A/V) for transmitting images and voices based on MPEG4 streaming. As a result of our research, it made possible to transmit images with 15 frame/sec in 160×120 frame size at 56Kbps and 30 frame/sec in 640×480 frame size at 512Kbps. And also we can apply this system as multipurpose function to circumference observation and internet broadcasting etc., by transmitting voices, images and control signal simultaneously.

General-purpose MPEG-2 video transcoders must be able to achieve any conversion between 18 ATSC (Advanced television system committee) video formats for DTV (digital television), e.g., scan format, size format, and frame rate format conversion. Especially, scan format conversion is hard to implement because frame rate and size format conversion often happen together. This paper proposes a fast motion estimation(ME) algorithm for MPEG-2 video transcoding supporting scan format conversion. Firstly, we extract and compose a set of candidate motion vectors (MV's) from the input bit-stream to comply with the re-encoding format. Secondly, the best MV is chosen among several candidate MV's by using a weighted median selector. Simulation results show that the proposed ME algorithm reduces significantly transcoding complexity with a minor PSNR degradation.

본 논문에서는 한국전자통신연구원 VR 연구센터에서 개발한 비선형 MPEG-2 편집 시스템인 "솔거 (Solger2001)"를 소개한다. 솔거는 PC 환경에서 MPEG-2 스트림 데이터를 편집할 수 있는 통합형 비선형 편집기로, MS 사의 DirectShow 기반의 서브모듈(sub-module)로 개발된 여러 필터들을 기반으로 다양한 시각/음향효과 처리를 제공한다. 이외에도 코덱의 속도론 높이기 위하여 Intel 의 MMX 기술을 적용하였다. 솔거의 특징은 시스템의 구성 가격을 낮추기 위하여 하드웨어 부가 장치 없이 모든 하부 모듈을 소프트웨어만으로 구성하였으며. DirectShow 필터를 기반으로 개발하여 시스템의 확장성과 이식성을 높였다.

In this paper, we investigate on the techniques for still image compression based on the wavelet transform, which will be adopted as a part of the MPEG-4 compression standards. Also we propose an effective still image compression technique, which is simpler than the MPEG-4 compression method and is improved by using a visually weighted quantizer based to HVS(Human Visual System), Simulations are carried out and compared with the algorithm proposed in MPEG-4. The simulation results show that the proposed method in this paper gives much better image quality than that of the method in MPEG-4. Also, except the case where the compression ratio is high, it shows that the proposed method has lower in complexity and provides a better subjective and objective image quality than EZW in most cases. Since wavelet transform well reflects HVS, the compressed image rarely causes blocking artifact compared with JPEG, and in most cases, it shows considerable quality improvement over JPEG.
