Recently, development of digital technology is occupying a large part of multimedia information like character, voice, image, video, etc. Research about video indexing and retrieval progresses especially in research relative to video. In this paper, we propose new algorithm(Frame Feature Comparison) for MPEG video segmentation. Shot, Scene Change detection is basic and important works that segment it in MPEG video sequence. Generally, the segmentation algorithm that uses much has defect that occurs an error detection according to a flash of camera, movement of camera and fast movement of an object, because of comparing former frames with present frames. Therefore, we distinguish a scene change one more time using a scene change point detected in the conventional algorithm through comparing its mean value with abutted frames. In the result, we could detect more corrective scene change than the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an advanced hardware architecture for fast multi-resolution motion estimation of the video coding standard MPEG-1,2 and MPEG-4 AVC. We describe the algorithm and derive hardware architecture emphasizing the importance of area for low cost and fast operation by using the shared memory, the special ram architecture, the motion vector for 4 pixel x 4 pixel, the spiral search and so on. The proposed architecture has been verified by ARM-interfaced emulation board using Excalibur Altera FPGA and also by ASIC synthesis using Samsung 0.18 m CMOS cell library. The ASIC synthesis result shows that the proposed hardware can operate at 140 MHz, processing more than 1,100 QCIF video frames or 70 4CIF video frames per second. The hardware is going to be used as a core module when implementing a complete MPEG-4 AVC video encoder ASIC for real-time multimedia application.

The shortcut shot detection based on MPEG compressed video bitstream is presented in this paper. The detection algorithm is used the video picture frame from MPEG compressed video directly not to be decompressed the original image. For shortcut detection, I and P frame of MPEG video bitstream are classified. The changing scene cuts at I pictures are detected by the decompressed DC image and scene cuts at P picture frame by monitoring the percentage of intra-macroblocks per P picture are detected. Experimental results using test video bitstream QVGA results in average 92% detection rate, searching time is taken around 4.5 times faster in comparison with changing scene shot detection algorithm which is decompressed the compressed bitstream.

MPEG-2 는 Layered Coding방식을 채택하여 하나의 base layer와 4개의 enhancement layer로 이루어져 있으나 동영상 재생을 위해 필요한 최소한의 layer인 base layer 만으로도 데이터 양이 많기 때문에 인터넷 환경에 적용하기가 어렵다. 이에 base layer를 다시 세분화된 layer로 나누기 위해 인코딩 중에는 또는 인코딩 결과로 만들어지는 MPEG-2 Video steam 의 하부 구조인 블록층에 존재하는 8$\times$8블록의 AC 계수들을 layering한다. Layered된 base layer의 데이터는 통신망 및 단말기의 QoS에 따라 서로 다른 전송 채널을 통해 서버에서 클라이언트 디코더로 전송된 후 디코더에 실시간적으로 병합한 후 재생된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법을 이용하여 기존에 encoding MPEG-2 Video steam의 AC계수를 layering할 경우에 QoS에 따라 가변적으로 데이터 양을 서버 쪽에서 조절할 수 있었고, 통신 선로 상에서 이동하는 데이터 양의 원래의 MPEG-2 Video steam 을 이용했을 때보다 인코딩 중에 블록을 변환하면 51% 정도 감소하고 인코딩 되어진 데이터를 이용했을 경우에는25%정도 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, an efficient automatic video parsing technique on MPEG-compressed video that is fundamental for content-based indexing is described. The proposed method detects scene changes, regardless of IPB picture composition. To detect abrupt changes, the difference measure based on the dc coefficient in I picture and the macroblock reference feature in P and B pictures are utilized. For gradual scene changes, we use the macroblock reference information in P and B pictures. the process of scene change detection can be efficiently handled by extracting necessary data without full decoding of MPEG sequence. The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed based on precision and recall. the experimental results verified the effectiveness of the method for detecting scene changes of various MPEG sequences.

In this paper, we propose the architecture of stream producer for MPEG­4 Video encoding. This module receives the quantized coefficient from DCT and Quantization module in macroblock unit and performs the VLC coding according to the encoding mode, and supports the error concealment mode of MPEG­4 and data partitioning mode. Using the VHDL, we designed the module using this architecture and performed the evaluations of this module by performing the post­-simulation.

Adaptability is an important issue in video streaming over mobile environments, since the clients may request videos with great differences in their workload. In this paper, we propose the issues in limited bandwidth scheduling for efficient MPEG-4 video stream transmission over a mobile or wireless network. In the phase of admission control, the amount of bandwidth allocated to serve a video request is the mean bandwidth requirement of its requested video. The dynamic allocation of bandwidth in the phase of scheduling depends on the playback buffer levels of the clients with an objective to make it more adaptive to the playback situation of individual clients. In the proposed RTA scheduling protocol, more bandwidth may be allocated temporarily to the client whose buffer level is low. By employing the buffer level based scheduling policy, this protocol attempts to maximize the real-time performance of individual playback while minimizing the impact of transient overloading. Extensive simulation experiments have been performed to investigate the performance characteristics of the RTA protocol as comparing with BSBA protocol. This RTA protocol shows the better performance by transferring more frames than BSBA protocol.Computer simulations reveals that the standard deviation of the bit rate error of the proposed scheme is 50% less than that of the conventional method.

Digital Video (DV) coding standards for digital video cassette recorder are based mainly on DCT and variable length coding. DV has low hardware complexity but high compressed bit rate of about 26 Mb/s. Thus, it is necessary to encode video with low complex video coding at the studios and then transcode compressed video into MPEG-2 for video-on-demand system. Because these coding methods exploit DCT, transcoding in the DCT domain can reduce computational complexity by excluding duplicated procedures. In transcoding DV into MPEC-2 intra coding, multiplying matrix by transformed data is used for 4:1:1-to-4:2:2 chroma format conversion and the conversion from 2-4-8 to 8-8 DCT mode, and therefore enables parallel processing. Variance of sub block for MPEG-2 rate control is computed completely in the DCT domain. These are verified through experiments. We estimate motion hierarchically using DCT coefficients for transcoding into MPEG-2 inter coding. First, we estimate motion of a macro block (MB) only with 4 DC values of 4 sub blocks and then estimate motion with 16-point MB using IDCT of 2$\times$2 low frequencies in each sub block, and finish estimation at a sub pixel as the fifth step. ME with overlapped search range shows better PSNR performance than ME without overlapping.

VOD(Video On Demand) that provides streaming service according to the user's requirement in real time, consists of the video streaming server and the client system. Since it is very hard to apply the traditional server-client model that a server communicates with many clients through 1:1 connection to VOD system because it requires very high network bandwidth, many researches have been done to address this problem. Batching technique is one of VOD system based on Multicast that requires very small network bandwidth. However, the batching based VOD system has a limitation that it is very hard to provide VCR(Video Cassette Recorder) ability. In this paper, we propose a technique that reduces the required network bandwidth to provide VCR function by using the characteristic of MPEG, one of international video compression standard. In the proposed technique, a new video stream for VCR function is constructed with I pictures that is able to be decoded independently. The new video stream for VCR function is transmitted with the video stream for normal play together in Batching manner. The performance evaluation result shows that the proposed technique not only reduces the required network bandwidth and memory usage but also decreases the CPU usages.
