The rate control is very important to solve the difficulties arising from bit-rate on transmission through channel and to improve video quality. It is very important to point out that the amount of output bit obtained the encoding process using rate controller brings many problems on the transmission of channels and furthermore output bitstream decoded affects directly on the visual quality of displayed subject. In this paper, the effective rate control algorithm by rate-distortion modeling using MPEG-4 encoder is proposed. The proposed rate control has applied different weighting by VOP prediction type and even in the same VOP prediction type, the predicted reference allocates more bit. Through these bit allocation the minimization of distortion can be achieved preventing propagation of quantization error The amount of saved bitstream obtained by the proposed algorithm in this thesis is allocated to I-VOP using region of interest(ROI) selective enhancement on the next GOV encoding process and this process brought the improvement of visual quality.

MPEG-4 시스템은 다양한 멀티미디어 객체를 시공간에 배치하고, 사용자의 상호작용을 가능하게 하는 리치미디어 시스템의 표준을 정의하고 있다. MPEG-4 리치미디어 컨텐츠의 표현은 장면의 구성을 나타내는 BIFS와 장면 중에 스트림이 있을 때 이에 대한 보조정보 및 스트림의 물리적 위치를 연결하는 OD로 구성되며, 이는 MP4라는 표준 파일포맷형식으로 저장되어, 스트리밍 서비스나 저장매체 응용에 이용된다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 용이하게 MPEG-4 리치미디어 컨텐츠를 저작할 수 있도록 도와주는 저작도구의 설계와 구현을 소개한다. 구현된 MPEG-4 컨텐츠 저작도구는 Windows20000 O/S환경에서 VisualStudio 6.0를 사용하여 C++로 구현하였다. 구현된 저작도구는 동영상, 오디오, 그래픽과 같은 다양한 미디어들을 사용자가 복잡합 MPEG-4 시스템을 의식하지 않고 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 통해 공간과 시간에 배치하여 MPEG-4 리치미디어 컨텐츠 파일을 제작 할 수 있도록 한다.

본 논문에서는 MPEG가 비디오 스트림의 형상 정보를 클러스터링 하여 VO(Visual Object)의 동작을 요약하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 MPEG-4 비트 스트림의 디코딩 없이 형상 정보를 근사화 한다. 그리고 사용자가 입력한 질의 VOP(Video Object Plane)와 VO의 각 VOP와의 NMHD(Normalized Mean Hausdorff Distance)를 구한 후 클러스터링을 수행하여 키 영역을 분리해낸다. 클러스터링에 의해 시간적으로 분리된 영역의 지속성을 고려하여 Rank를 매김으로써 사용자가 원하는 수의 키 VOP를 선택할 수 있게 한다. 제안하는 방법은 클러스터링을 사용함으로써 키 VOP를 선정하였으며, Rank와 질의 VOP를 사용하여 사용자와의 상호작용이 가능하다.

MPEG-4 describes audiovisual scenes that are composed of several media objects, organized in a hierarchical fashion. And for end users, it brings higher levels of interaction with content, within the limits set by the author. These spatio-temporal arrangements of the objects in the scene are specified using a parametric methodology, BIFS(BInary Format for Scenes). This paper proposes MPEG-4 Contents Authoring System that provides visual configuration of an MPEG-4 scene and its event information. The developed MPEG-4 Contents Authoring System generates streaming MPEG-4 Contents, such as BIFS stream, OD(Object Descriptor) stream automatically.

Recently the shape information of the visual object in the scene is more important, as the completion of the MPEG-4 standard and the progress of the MPEG-7 standard. This paper represents the study of effective coding method of vertices that are used in the polygonal approximation to represent the feature of visual object. In the proposed method, we make the centers of gravity of triangles that are made using the vertices of polygonal approximation and encode them sequentially We can get a coding gain because the centers of the gravity of triangles have narrower dynamic ranges.

For temporal relations of interactive media such as MPEG-4, it is necessary for a temporal model that can update dynamically presentation time and temporal relations among objects by user events occurring during playback. Also, 811hough the temporal attributes are changed by user events, the validity of scene must be maintained. In this paper, we propose a temporal model that supports user interaction and developed an MPES-4 contents authoring system applying this model. We define the temporal relations of MPEG-4 that tan be authored and user interactions that can change the temporal properties. This authoring system defines the constraints on temporal relations and events and can generate the scene without error by checking the constraints. Also it provides the authoring environment to author visual]y temporal relations and events in MPEG-4 scene and generates the MPEG-4 stream by encoding the authored scene.

MPEG-4 AVC is an international video coding standard that is being developed. The standardization is mainly targeted at a very high compression ratio. MPEG-4 AVC is a general video coding technology that may be used in various applications. Therefore, MPEG-4 AVC needs an efficient rate control method to be applied in various communication environments. This paper is based on the rate control method that considers human visual characteristic. In this paper, we propose the constant bit rate control method using adaptive quantization and scene change detection. Experiments performed using various test images and experimentation results exhibits a favorable performance over existing rate control methods.

MPEG-4 content is streaming media that are composed of different types of media objects, organized in a hierarchical fashion. This paper proposes scene composition model for authoring MPEG-4 contents which can support object based interactions. And we have developed MPEG-4 contents authoring tool applied the proposed scene composition model as intermediate data structure. Particularly, for supporting interoperability between multimedia contents, the scene composition model should be used independent of file format. So visual scene composed of media objects on the from of scene composition tree can be transformed variable data format including BIFS, scene description from proposed by MPEG-4 standard and also support the extension of capability.

MPEG-4 visual conformance standard specifies methods to verify whether bitstreams and decoders meet the requirements at the specified profile and level. The test of decoders can be divided into two parts: the static test and the dynamic test. The static test can be performed by examining the decoder output with that of a reference decoder. This paper proposes design methods of test bitstreams for static test of texture decoding, and shows the test results.
