This study suggests a prediction model of ground motion spectral shape considering characteristics of earthquake records in Korea. Based on the Graizer and Kalkan's prediction procedure, a spectral shape model is defined as a continuous function of period in order to improve the complex problems of the conventional models. The approximate spectral shape function is then developed with parameters such as moment magnitude, fault distance, and average shear velocity of independent variables. This paper finally determines estimator coefficients of subfunctions which explain the corelation among the independent variables using the nonlinear optimization. As a result of generating the prediction model of ground motion spectral shape, the ground motion spectral shape well estimates the response spectrum of earthquake recordings in Korea.

Automatic docking of small planing ship is a critical aspect of maritime operations, requiring accurate prediction of motion states to ensure safe and efficient maneuvers. This study investigates the use of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict motion state of a small planing ship to enhance navigation automation in port environments. To achieve this, simulation tests were conducted to control a small planing ship while docking at various heading angles in calm water and in waves. Comprehensive analysis of the ANN-based predictive model was conducted by training and validation using data from various docking situations to improve its ability to accurately capture motion characteristics of a small planing ship. The trained ANN model was used to predict the motion state of the small planning ship based on any initial motion state. Results showed that the small planing ship could dock smoothly in both calm water and waves conditions, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method for prediction. Moreover, the ANN-based prediction model can adjust the dynamic model of the small planing ship to adapt in real-time and enhance the robustness of an automatic positioning system. This study contributes to the ongoing development of automated navigation systems and facilitates safer and more efficient maritime transport operations.

본 논문에서는 SVC와 MVC의 부호화 구조를 결합하여 구현된 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화를 위한 효율적인 움직임 추정 기법과 DPB 설계 메카니즘에 대해 제안한다. 제안된 움직임 추정 기법에서는 부호화 과정에서 필요한 예측 부호화의 성능 향상을 위해서 서로 다른 시점 (view)의 픽처 정보를 참조픽처의 후보로서 활용한다. 제안된 움직임 예측 구조에 의해서 압축된 비디오 데이터의 크기를 감소시켜 압축 효율을 증대시킬 수 있다. 또한, 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화를 수행할 때 SVC와 MVC의 DPB (Decoded Picture Buffer)를 통합한 통합형 DPB 설계 메카니즘에 대해 제안한다. 다양한 실험을 통해서 제안된 예측 구조를 적용함으로써 스케일러블 다시점 비디오 부호화에서의 압축 효율의 향상을 얻어낼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Estimation methods of motion intention from bio-signal present challenges in man machine interaction(MMI) to offer user's command to machine without control of any devices. Measurements of meaningful bio-signals that contain the motion intention and motion estimation methods from bio-signal are important issues for accurate and safe interaction. This paper proposes a novel motion estimation sensor based on a geometrical muscle changes, and a motion estimation method using the sensor. For estimation of the motion, we measure the circumference change of the muscle which is proportional to muscle activation level using a flexible piezoelectric cable (pMAS, piezo muscle activation sensor), designed in band type. The pMAS measures variations of the cable band that originate from circumference changes of muscle bundles. Moreover, we estimate the elbow motion by applying the sensor to upper limb with least square method. The proposed sensor and prediction method are simple to use so that they can be used to motion prediction device and methods in rehabilitation and sports fields.

This paper describes the scalable extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) to provide flexible high-quality digital video content services. The proposed scalable codec is designed on multi-loop decoding architecture to support inter-layer sample prediction and inter-layer motion parameter prediction. Inter-layer sample prediction is enabled by inserting the reconstructed picture of the reference layer (RL) into the decoded picture buffer of the enhancement layer (EL). To reduce the motion parameter redundancies between layers, the motion parameter of the RL is used as one of the candidates in merge mode and motion vector prediction in the EL. The proposed scalable extension can support scalabilities with minimum changes to the HEVC and provide average Bj${\o}$ntegaard delta bitrate gains of about 24% for spatial scalability and of about 21% for SNR scalability compared to simulcast coding with HEVC.

In this paper, we proposed a dynamic selection scheme of advnaced prediction mode(DAPM), which reduces computational cost and improves coding efficiency. We can select the mode between default prediction mode (DPM) and advanced prediction mode (APM) according to motion componenets in a frame dynamically. For this purpose, we defined error distribution of motion estimation (EDME) as sum of absolute difference(SAD) for each searching points. This distribution region is divided to four subregions. We calculate minimum values in each subregions and then, we determine whether block motion estimation is performed or not depending on the results. As a result, we reduced computational complexity to 30% without degradation of image quality compared to fixed APM(FAPM) by selecting DPM for linear movement.

일반적으로 움직임 벡터는 한 카메라에서 촬영된 영상 속에서의 객체의 움직임 정보를 나타내고, 변이 벡터는 서로 다른 카메라에서 촬영된 영상 간 객체의 위치 차이를 나타낸다. 기존의 H.264/AVC에서는 단일 시점 영상을 위한 비디오 부호화 기술이기 때문에 변이 벡터를 고려하지 않는다. 하지만, 다시점 비디오 부호화 기술은 H.264/AVC를 기반으로 하여 시점 간 예측구조를 지원하기 때문에, 다른 시점에서의 영상을 참조할 때는 움직임 벡터 대신 변이 벡터가 고려된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다시점 비디오 부호화 기술을 위해 전역 변이 벡터 대체 방법과 확장된 주변 블록 예측 방법을 이용하여 개선된 움직임/변이 벡터 예측 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법을 통해서 움직임 벡터 탐색 범위를 ${\pm}16$으로 설정하고, 전역 변이 벡터 탐색 범위를 ${\pm}32$으로 설정한 경우 평균 1.07%의 BD (Bjontegaard delta)-비트율 감소를 얻었으며, 전역 변이 벡터 탐색 범위를 ${\pm}64$로 설정한 경우 평균 1.32%의 BD-비트율 감소를 얻을 수가 있었다.

본 논문에서는 고성능 HEVC 부호기를 위한 Inter Prediction SAD연산 구조의 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안한다. HEVC Inter Prediction에서의 Motion Estimation(ME)은 시간적 중복성을 제거하기 위하여 보간 된 참조 픽처에서 현재 PU와 상관도가 높은 예측 블록을 탐색하는 과정이다. ME는 전역 탐색(full search, FS) 알고리즘과 고속 탐색(fast search) 알고리즘을 이용한다. 전역 탐색 기법은 주어진 탐색 영역내의 모든 후보 블록에 대하여 움직임을 예측하기 때문에 최적의 결과를 보장하지만 연산량 및 연산시간이 많은 단점을 지닌다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 Inter Prediction의 연산량 및 연산시간을 줄이기 위해 전역탐색에서 SAD연산을 재사용하여 연산 복잡도를 줄이는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 HEVC 표준 소프트웨어 HM16.12에 적용하여 검증한 결과 기존 전역탐색 알고리즘보다 연산시간은 61%, BDBitrate는 11.81% 감소하였고, BDPSNR은 약0.5% 증가하였다.

We propose a new hierarchical motion estimator architecture that supports the advanced prediction mode of recent low bit-rate video coders such as H.263 and MPEG-4. In the proposed VLSI architecture, a basic searching unit (BSU) is commonly utilized for all hierarchical levels to make a systematic and small sized motion estimator. Since the memory bank of the proposed architecture provides scheduled data flow for calculating 8$\times$8 block-based sum of absolute difference (SAD), both a macroblock-based motion vector (MV) and four block-based MVs are simultaneously obtained for each macroblock in the advanced prediction mode. The proposed motion estimator gives similar coding performance compared with full search block matching algorithm (FSBMA) while achieving small size and satisfying the advanced prediction mode.

As the next-generation video coding standard, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) has adopted advanced coding tools despite the increase in computational complexity. In this paper, we propose a selective bi-prediction method to reduce the encoding complexity of HEVC. The proposed method evaluates the statistical property of the sum of absolute differences in the motion estimation process and determines whether bi-prediction is performed. A performance comparison of the complexity reduction is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared to the HEVC test model version 4.0. On average, 50% of the bi-prediction time can be reduced by the proposed method, while maintaining a negligible bit increment and a minimal loss of image quality.
