Recent development of embedded processors makes it possible to play back video contents in real-time on portable devices. Because of their limited battery capacity and low computational performance, however, portable devices still have significant problems in real-time decoding of high quality or high resolution compressed video. Although previous approaches are successful in achieving complexity-scalable decoder by controlling computational complexity of decoding elements, they cause significant objective quality loss coming from mismatch between encoder and decoder. In this paper, we propose a selective B slice skip-decoding method to implement a low complexity video decoder. The proposed method performs selective skip decoding process of B slice which satisfies the proposed conditions. The skipped slices are reconstructed by simple reconstruction method utilizing adjacent reconstructed pictures. Experimental result shows that proposed method not only reduces computational complexity but also maintains subjective visual quality.

H.264/AVC의 화면내 예측 부호화 기술에서 예측 모드 정보를 부호화하기 위해 최우선 모드를 이용하며 최우선 모드의 선택율은 매우 높다. 또한 일반적으로 자연 영상이나 동영상의 경우 균일한 특성을 나타내는 영역을 많이 포함하고 있으며, 이러한 영역은 주변 블록과의 상관도가 매우 높다. 따라서 주변 블록의 예측 모드, 화소 에지의 방향성을 이용하면 복호화기에서도 현재 블록의 최적의 예측 모드를 결정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 화면내 부호화 효율을 향상시키기 위해 예측 모드 정보를 전혀 전송하지 않는 복호화기 예측을 이용한 화면내 예측 모드 SKIP 부호화 모드를 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 주변 블록의 정보만을 이용하여 예측 모드를 결정하고 기존의 예측/변환 방법을 이용하여 부호화를 실시하며 예측 모드 정보는 전혀 전송하지 않는다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 H.264/AVC의 참조 소프트웨어인 JM 17.0에 비하여 CIF 영상에서 1.40%, 720p 영상에서는 3.24%의 비트 감소를 나타내었다.

We propose a new motion vector skip coding method for better motion compensation-based coding of inter-slices in H.264/AVC. It is to best utilize the spatial correlation between motion vectors of adjacent 4x4 blocks by effective motion vector coding. For this purpose, we introduce a new macroblock type of Predictive (P) slice into those of the H.264/AVC, so that it can lead to reduction in the coding bits required for encoding motion information. Experimental results with several well-known test video sequences verify that better performance of the proposed method is obtained.

H.264/AVC uses variable block sizes to achieve significant coding gain. It has 7 different coding modes having different motion compensation block sizes in Inter slice, and 2 different intra prediction modes in Intra slice. This fine-tuned new coding feature has achieved far more significant coding gain compared with previous video coding standards. However, extremely high computational complexity is required when rate-distortion optimization (RDO) algorithm is used. This computational complexity is a major problem in implementing real-time H.264/AVC encoder on computationally constrained devices. Therefore, there is a clear need for complexity reduction algorithm of H.264/AVC such as fast mode decision. In this paper, we propose a fast mode decision with early $P8\times8$ mode rejection based on block size activity using large block history map (LBHM). Simulation results show that without any meaningful degradation, the proposed method reduces whole encoding time on average by 53%. Also the hybrid usage of the proposed method and the early SKIP mode decision in H.264/AVC reference model reduces whole encoding time by 63% on average.

Purpose : Skip the repetitive HRCT axial scan in order to reduce the exposure of patients during chest HRCT scan, Helical Scan Data into a reconstructed image, and exposure of the patient change and visually evaluate the usefulness of the HRCT images. Materials and method : Patients were enrolled in the survey are 50 people who underwent chest CT scans of patients who presented to the hospital from January 2015 to March 2015. 50 people surveyed 22 people men and 28 people women people showed an average distribution of 30 to 80 years age was 48 years. 50 patients to Somatom Sensation 64 ch (Siemens) model with 120 kVp tube voltage to a reference mAs tube current to mAs (Care dose, Siemens) as a whole, including the lungs and the chest CT scan was performed. Scan upon each patient CARE dose 4D (Automatic exposure control, Siemens Medical Solution Erlangen, Germany) was to maintain the proper radiation dose scan every cross-section through a device that automatically adjusts the tube current of. CT scan is the rotation time of the Tube slice collimation, slice width 0.6 mm, pitch factor was made under the terms of 1.4. CT scan obtained after the raw data (raw data) to the upper surface of the axial images and coronal images for each slice thickness 1 mm, 5 mm intervals in the high spatial frequency calculation method (hight spatial resolution algorithm, B60 sharp) was the use of the lung window center -500 HU, windows were reconstructed into images in the interval -1000 HU to see. Result : 1. Measure the total value of DLP 50 patients who proceed to chest CT group A (Helical Scan after scan performed with HRCT) and group B (Helical Scan after the HR image reconstruction to the original data) compared with the group divided, analysis As a result of the age, but show little difference for each age group it had a decreased average dose of about 9%. 2. A Radiation read the results of the two Radiologist and a doctor upper lobe and middle lobe of the lung takes effect the visual evaluation is not a big difference between the two images both, depending on the age of the patient, especially if the blood vessels of the lower lobe (A: 3.4, B: 4.6) and bronchi(A: 3.8, B4.7) image shake caused by breathing in anxiety (blurring lead) to the original data (raw data) showed that the reconstructed image is been more useful in diagnostic terms. Conclusion : Scan was confirmed a continuous, rapid motion video to get Helical scan is much lower lobe lung reduction in visual blurring, Helical scan data to not repeat the examination by obtaining HRCT images reorganization reduced the exposure of the patient.
