저 사양 HMD(Head Mounted Display)를 사용하는 가상 환경 네비게이션 시스템은 true-color 이미지를 제한 된 색으로 표현 할 때 이미지를 양자화 해야 한다. 그러한 시스템은 고정된 팔래트를 이용하여 이미지를 양자화 한다. 인간의 눈은 시선부분의 색변화에 민감하기 때문에 시선부분의 색을 고려하여 동적으로 팔래트를 생성하고 이를 이용하여 이미지를 양자화 한다면 사용자는 가상 환경을 보다 생동감 있게 느낄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 가상환경을 보다 생동감 있게 느끼게 하기 위한 컬러 양자화 방법을 제안하고 제안 방법을 이용하여 가상환경 네비게이션 시스템을 구성하였다. 네비게이션 시스템은 사용자의 시선이 변할 때 마다 이미지를 양자화 하여 HMD를 통해 사용자에게 양자화된 이미지를 보여준다. 본 논문에서는 제안 방법을 이용한 시스템의 선호도를 조사 하였으며 대부분의 사용자가 제안 방법을 이용한 시스템을 선호 하였다.

This paper presents different issues of the real-time compression algorithms without compromising the video quality in the distributed environment. The theme of this research is to manage the critical processing stages (speed, information lost, redundancy, distortion) having better encoded ratio, without the fluctuation of quantization scale by using IP configuration. In this paper, different techniques such as distortion measure with searching method cover the block phenomenon with motion estimation process while passing technique and floating measurement is configured by discrete cosine transform (DCT) to reduce computational complexity which is implemented in this video codec. While delay of bits in encoded buffer side especially in real-time state is being controlled to produce the video with high quality and maintenance a low buffering delay. Our results show the performance accuracy gain with better achievement in all the above processes in an encouraging mode.

In this paper, we implemented the vocoder of variable rate by applying the SOLA-B algorithm to the G.729A to the TMS320C5416 in real-time. This method using the SOLA-B algorithm is that it is reduced the duration of the speech in encoding and is played at the speed of normal by extending the duration of the speech in decoding. But the method applied to the existed G.729A and SOLA-B algorithm is caused the loss of speech quality in G.729A which is not reflected about length variation of speech. Therefore the proposed method is encoded according as it is modified the structure of LSP quantization table about the length of speech is reduced by using the SOLA-B algorithm. The vocoder of variable rate by applying the G.729A and SOLA-B algorithm is represented the maximum complexity of 10.2MIPS about encoder and 2.8MIPS about decoder in 8kbps transmission rate. Also it is evaluated 17.3MIPS about encoder, 9.9MIPS about decoder in 6kbps and 18.5MIPS about encoder, 11.1MIPS about decoder in 4kbps according to the transmission rate. The used memory is about program ROM 9.7kwords, table ROM 4.69kwords, RAM 5.2kwords. The waveform of output is showed by the result of C simulator and Bit Exact. Also, the result of MOS test for evaluation of speech quality of the vocoder of variable rate which is implemented in real-time, it is estimated about 3.68 in 4kbps.

인트라 프레임은 GOP (Group of Pictures)의 처음 프레임을 의미하며, H.264 표준에서 인트라 프레임의 모든 매크로블록은 하나의 양자화 파라미터로 압축한다. 그리고 인트라 프레임은 이후 프레임들을 압축할 때 사용하기 때문에 인트라 프레임의 압축 결과는 전체 프레임 그룹의 화질에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 인트라 프레임을 최적으로 압축할 수 있는 양자화 파라미터를 찾는 것은 화질 개선을 위해 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 실시간으로 인트라 프레임을 압축하기 위한 최적의 양자화 파라미터를 탐색하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 최적 양자화 파라미터의 특성에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 경사하강법을 이용하여 실시간으로 최적값을 탐색한다. 실험결과는 제안하는 방법이 최적 양자화 파라미터의 특성을 잘 반영하고 최적값도 정확하게 예측함을 보여준다.

This research is to raise awareness of food safety by designing and supporting a hazard food information notification platform for consumers. To this end, the design was carried out by dividing the process into a data extraction process, an application screen design process, and a CNN-based food inference process. Data was collected through public data APIs and crawling, and it was sent to each activity screen designed for Android studios so that it could be output. As a result, when the platform is executed, information on hazardous food names, registration dates, food classification, manufacturing dates, recovery grades, recovery reasons, recovery methods, company names, barcode numbers, and packaging units can be intuitively and conveniently checked. In addition, CNN-based food inference processes allowed mobile cameras to infer harmful food and applied various quantization techniques such as Dynamic Range, Integer, and Float16 to compare the degree of improvement in inference performance. As a result, the group that applied basic quantization and treated device resources with GPU showed the greatest improvement in inference performance. Through this platform, it is expected that the reliability of food safety will be improved by making it more convenient for consumers to recognize food risks.

This paper presents a new method for post-processing of coded images based upon the low-pass filtering followed by the projection onto the NQCS (narrow quantization constraint set). We also investigate how the proposed method works on JPEG-coded real images. The starting point of the QCS-based post-processing techniques is the centroid of the QCS, where the original image belongs. The low-pass filtering followed by the projection onto the QCS makes the images lie on the boundary of the QCS. It is likely that, however, the original image is inside the QCS. Hence projection onto the NQCS gives a lower MSE (mean square error) than does the projection onto the QCS. Simulation results show that setting the narrowing coefficients of the NQCS to be 0.2 yields the best performance in most cases. Even though the JPEG-coded image is low-pass filtered and projected onto the NQCS repeatedly, there is no guarantee that the resultant image has a lower MSE and goes closer to the original image. Thus only one iteration is sufficient for the post-processing of the coded images. This is interesting because the main drawback of the iterative post-processing techniques is the heavy computational burden. The single iteration method reduces the computational burden and gives us an easy way to implement the real time VLSI post-processor.

This paper provides a frame-layer method for controlling bit rate of compressed video data in real time. Our approach is easy to operate and can store encoded video data in real time without deteriorating the quality of an image. To provide ameliorated and consistent visual quality, a new concept named SOP (Set Of Pictures) and a new quantization parameter variation control algorithm based on a second-order rate-distortion model 〔2〕 are introduced. The total bit-budget is allocated efficiently to cope with unpredictable recording time by using the proposed algorithm and it is distributed to each frame. In the end, we show improved and consistent video quality with experimental results obtained from C-model of a MPEG-4 (simple-profile) encoder.

In this paper, an efficient texture compression method is proposed for fast rendering, which exploits the spatial correlation among blocks through intra-picture block matching. Texture mapping is widely used to enhance the visual quality of results in real-time rendering applications. For fast texture mapping, it is necessary to identify an effective trade-off between compression efficiency and computational complexity. The conventional compression methods utilized for image processing (e.g., JPEG) provide high compression efficiency while resulting in high complexity. Thus, low complexity methods, such as ETC1, are often used in real-time rendering applications. Although these methods can achieve low complexity, the compression efficiency is still lower than that of JPEG. To solve this problem, we propose a texture compression method by reducing the spatial redundancy between blocks in order to achieve the better compression performance than ETC1 while maintaining complexity that is lower than that of JPEG. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better compression efficiency than ETC1, and the decoding time is significantly reduced compared to JPEG while similar to ETC1.

This paper presents real-time implementation of speech vocoder for PSTN video telephony using ITU G.723 16Kbps ADPCM algorithm. The ADPCM encoder accepts 8-bit PCM compressed signals and expends it to a 14-bit-per-sample. The predicted values are subtracted from encoded signals to produce difference signals. Adaptive quantization is performed on the difference signal to produce a 2-bit, output for transmission over the channel. Computer simulations and experiments were performed to evaluate the performance of the speech vocoder.

본 논문에서는 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) 부호기의 실시간처리를 위한 효율적인 하드웨어 변환기 하드웨어 설계를 제안한다. HEVC 부호기는 율-왜곡 비용을 비교하여 변환 모드($4{\times}4$, $8{\times}8$, $16{\times}16$, $32{\times}32$)를 결정한다. 율-왜곡비용은 변환과, 양자화, 역양자화, 역변환을 통해 계산된 왜곡값과 비트량으로 결정되므로 상당한 연산량과 소요시간이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 변환을 통한 계수의 합계를 비교하여 변환 모드를 결정하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제안하는 하드웨어구조는 $4{\times}4$, $8{\times}8$, $16{\times}16$, $32{\times}32$ 변환 모드에 대한 공통 연산기와 멀티플렉서, 재귀 가감산기, 쉬프터 만으로 구현하여 연산량을 대폭 감소시켰다. 제안하는 변환 모드 결정 방법은 HM 10.0과 비교하여 BD-PSNR은 0.096, BD-Bitrate는 0.057 증가하였으며, 인코딩 시간은 약 9.3% 감소되었다. 제안된 하드웨어는 TSMC 130nm CMOS 표준 셀 라이브러리로 합성한 결과 최대 동작 주파수는 200MHz, 약 256K개의 게이트로 구현되었으며, 140MHz의 동작주파수에서 4K UHD급 해상도인 $3840{\times}2160@60fps$의 실시간 처리가 가능하다.
