Expanding services and productions for screen content videos recently, necessity of new compression techniques is emerging. The next-generation video coding standard is also considering specified coding tools for screen content videos, but it is still preliminary stage. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of screen content videos for which we propose the quantization in spatial domain to improve coding efficiency. The proposed method directly employs quantization for residual signal without any transformations. The proposed method also applies adaptive coefficients prediction and in-loop filter for quantized residual signals in spatial domain based on the characteristics of screen content videos. As a results, the proposed method for the random access, the low-delay and the all-intra modes achieve bit-saving about 4.4%, 5.1%. and 4.9%, respectively.

Screen content refers to images or videos generated by various electronic devices such as computers or mobile phones, whereas natural content refers to images captured by cameras. Screen contents show different statistical characteristics from natural images, so the conventional video codecs which were developed mainly for the coding of natural videos cannot guarantee good coding performances for screen contents. Recently, researches on efficient SCC(Screen Content Coding) are being actively studied, and especially at ongoing JCT-VC(Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding) meeting for HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding) standard, SCC issues are being discussed steadily. In this paper, we analyze the performances of high efficient coding tools in HM(HEVC Test Model) on SCC, and present an optimized SCC model based on the analysis results. We also present the characteristics of screen contents and the future research issues as well.

This paper describes and analyzes IBC (intra block copy) in HEVC (high efficiency video coding) SCC (screen content coding) to improve the coding efficiency of IBC. HEVC SCC reference software SCM 2 is employed to analyze the selection ratio of IBC which is newly adopted in HEVC SCC, and the tools for IBC such as the block vector prediction and block vector coding method are evaluated. Experimental results show the average IBC selection ratio is 31.08% and 0.33% in I-Slice and B-Slice, respectively. Based on this results, the coding efficiency of IBC could be improved by utilizing IBC selectively. In addition, analysis tests of block vector prediction and the block vector coding method show the current methods are not efficient to screen content videos, and the analysis results are presented to improve these methods.

In this paper, we propose a novel residual differential pulse-code modulation (RDPCM) coding technique to improve coding efficiency of screen content videos. The proposed method uses a weighted combination of adjacent residues to provide an accurate estimate in RDPCM. The weights are trained in previously coded samples by using an L1 optimization problem with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operation (LASSO). The proposed method achieves BD-rate saving about 3.1% in all-intra coding.

Nowadays, people consume a lot of content such as web dramas or K-pop videos through mobile devices such as smartphones, and the market for indirect advertisements through these web dramas or K-pop videos is also increasing every year. In order to lead to the immediate purchase of indirect products in web dramas, a system that allows consumers to purchase immediately at the time the products appear in the drama is needed. In this paper, we propose a system to allow viewers to purchase products worn by celebrities immediately when viewers see and click on them. When a user clicks on a video, it recognizes the product worn by the celebrity, and displays information on the screen on the most similar product corresponding to the recognized product, allowing them to go to the seller's site where they can purchase it. In order for such a system to operate stably, a pose estimation and siamese network-based system is proposed. The proposed system will primarily be released as a streaming service in the form of an app or web page that connects the products in web dramas or other K-pop video contents screened on the mobile with e-commerce. Furthermore, in the future, the technology is expected to be used globally in various industries such as smart mobility and display kiosks.

JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding) continues developing HEVC/Screen Content Coding (HEVC/SCC) as an extension for efficiently coding screen content videos, including computer animations, graphics, and electrical documents, based on HEVC/Range extension (HEVC/RExt.). Color space conversion from RGB space being captured from CCD sensors is popular in natural video coding. However, the conversion is often undesired for screen contents because of a significant loss in perceptual quality. Therefore, several coding tools including cross-component prediction (CCP) and in-loop adaptive color space transform (ACST) have been developed for an efficient screen content video coding in order to reduce the redundancies between color spaces while maintaining the original color space. In this paper, we review the two coding tools, i.e., CCP and ACST exploiting the correlation in the RGB color space and conduct the performance analysis of the coding tools. In our simulation results, CCP and ACST provide 11.7% BD-rate saving and 16.4% BD-rate saving, respectively, while the two coding tools provide 18.2% BD-rate saving in total. Following this idea, if the two coding tools are exclusively selected, we provide 93% encoding measurement time with a 0.3% coding loss.

Short-form content, which means "short video content within 10 minutes," is rapidly emerging as a recent trend among MZ generations based on the fact that it can be viewed whenever there is a short running time, and they are physically short, colorful, and deliver a lot of information in a compressed time, showing differences in both long-form content and format. In addition, entertainment videos such as information delivery videos, eating shows, web entertainment, and dance challenges are mainly produced and distributed, so there is no need to take expertise as a creative work of video experts, and consumers often become producers by directly participating in production using low-end equipment such as smartphones. For these reasons, shortform content creates new image styles rather than general existing image forms such as long-form contents, and this study focuses on changes in editing styles. This study summarized the following five characteristic changes by analyzing the editing style of short form content that has changed compared to long form content according to the 'visual' aspect. The use of frames, memes, screen division, blue screen, and subtitles are included, and by organizing each characteristic, we identified the editing style of shortform content that has emerged as a recent trend and learned about the changes.

Lately the usage of multimedia equipment with small LCD displays is rapidly increasing. Although many people use devices like cell phone and PDA, videos intended for TV or HDTV are sent to these mobile devices. Therefore, situation where it is hard for the user to view the desired scenes are growing more frequent. Currently, most services simply reduce the size of the content to fit the screen when they offer it for mobile devices. However, especially with sports broadcasts, there are many areas that cannot be seen very well because it was simply reduced in size. We are suggesting new motion how to let the user choose an area of interest based on Cognitive lattice. And present then sending it to the user in a way based on Focus Of Choice that fits the device.

Lately the usage of multimedia equipment with small LCD displays is rapidly increasing. Although many people use devices like this, videos intended for TV or HDTV are sent to these mobile devices. Therefore cases where it is hard for the user to view the desired scenes are growing more frequent. Currently, most services simply reduce the size of the content to fit the screen when they offer it for mobile devices. However, especially with sports broadcasts, there are many areas that cannot be seen very well because it was simply reduced in size. We therefore consider this weakness and are researching how to let the user choose an area of interest and then sending it to the user in a way that fits the device. In this paper, we address the problem of video delivery and personalization. For the delivered video content, we suggest the UP-SAM User Personalized Context-Aware Service Adaptation Middleware) model that uses the video content description and MPEG-21 multimedia framework.

Since the advent of 3D and UHD contents, demand for high-quality panoramic images has been increasing. The UWV(Ultra-Wide Viewing) service uses a wider viewing angle than conventional panoramas to provide a lively experience for users and enhance their understanding of the event. In this paper, we propose a spatial adjacency map generation method and an UWV file storage format technology to provide UWV service. The spatial adjacency map measures the similarity between images and generate the position information of the images based on similarity. And the stitching time of the image can be shortened through the generated position information. Through the spatial adjacency map, we generate the large screen content quickly. The UWV file format which is based on ISOBMFF process spatial adjacency map and videos and support random access. In this paper, we design the UWV player to verify the spatial adjacency map and UWV file format and show the result of experiments.
