During the last decade, the multitude of advances attained in terminal computers, along with the introduction of mobile hand-held devices, and the deployment of high speed networks have led to a recent surge of interest in Quality of Service (QoS) for video applications. The main difficulty is that mobile devices experience disparate channel conditions, which results in different rates and patterns of packet loss. One way of making more efficient use of network resources in video services over wireless channels with heterogeneous characteristics to heterogeneous types of mobile device is to use a scalable video coding (SVC). An SVC divides a video stream into a base layer and a single or multiple enhancement layers. We have to ensure that the base layer of the video stream is successfully received and decoded by the subscribers, because it provides the basis for the subsequent decoding of the enhancement layer(s). At the same time, a system should be designed so that the enhancement layer(s) can be successfully decoded by as many users as possible, so that the average QoS is as high as possible. To accommodate these characteristics, we propose an efficient transmission scheme which incorporates SVC-aware dual-channel repetition to improve the perceived quality of services. We repeat the base-layer data over two channels, with different characteristics, to exploit transmission diversity. On the other hand, those channels are utilized to increase the data rate of enhancement layer data. This arrangement reduces service disruption under poor channel conditions by protecting the data that is more important to video decoding. Simulations show that our scheme safeguards the important packets and improves perceived video quality at a mobile device.

A Critical issue in the performance of a video-on-demand system is the required I/O bandwidth of the Video server in order to satisfy clients requests, and it is the crucial resource that may cause delay increasingly. Several approaches such as batching and piggybacking are used to reduce the I/O demand on the video server through sharing. Bathing approach is to make single I/O request for storage server by grouping the requests for the same object. Piggybacking is th policy for altering display rates of requests in progress for the same object to merge their corresponding I/O streams into a single stream, and serve it as a group of merged requests. In this paper, we propose a reservation-based hybrid disk bandwidth reduction policy that dynamically reserves the I/O stream capacity of a video server for popular videos according to the loads of video server in order to schedule the requests for popular videos immediately. The performance of the proposed policy is evaluated through simulations, and is compared with that of bathing and piggybacking. As a result, we know that the reservation-based hybrid disk bandwidth reduction policy provides better probability of service, average waithing time and percentage of saving in frames than batching and piggybacking policy.

As architectural forms tend to be large-scaled, high-storied and complicated, use of computer for processing design information has been generalized. However, CAD use in the process of developing architectural design has been neglected greatly in the educational field of architectural field due to the surging of recognition that it may limit the essential property of architectural design. It may be resulted from the limitation of CAD system, that is, it is because of tardy speed of application development for the related areas with the lack of simplicity and clarity of flexibility to be secured on the drawing and user interface. Recent CAD systems, however, overcome such a limitation, convert into object-based design from entity-based drawing, drafting and modeling for implementing design concept of architects and it connects with internet linked to superspeed information communication network and changes process and stream of architectural design. Therefore, this study deals with utility of object based CAD system with products of Autodesk Co. and consequently obtain the following conclusions. First, it expands architect's design areas by supporting cooperative design system based on model-based architectural design and internet. Second, it reduces consumption of personal and material resources and time in the process of drawing production for improving architectural design works. Third, it can reduce the frequent design changes by improving understanding of architectural space with visualization of immediate 3D information, escaping from traditional methods to deliver design information to building owner through 2D drawing or model and perspective drawing requiring much cost and time. Fourth, it keeps exactness without omission or duplication of design information and generate and renew information of all related drawings on a drawing. Fifth, it is possible to change difficult and boring architectural design work into a pleasure owing to immediate modeling and drawing of design idea. In addition, digital drawing generated by using object-based CAD system can playa role of establishing Urban Information System to be used for protecting from building in disaster and urban disasters in connection with GIS numerical map and be used for reference of all kinds of information required fro post-management of buildings. However, what is more important is that surplus time from introduction of object-based CAD system should be used for consideration to be recognized as a good space and building built as a product of this project for comfort to urban people.

Developing a home network and a ubiquitous infrastructure requires various communication techniques and devices with more advanced hardware. With this development, increasing realtime access to multimedia data results in rapid degradation of qualify for multimedia playback. This paper presents a traffic allocation technique based on MPP(Media Preference for Presentation) that can steadily maintain multimedia playback quality by adaptively allocating streaming traffic requested from clients with different playback performances. Media preference is defined in accordance with content popularity and playback performance of client devices. Through experiments when requested stream data exceeds processing ability of a midea server, the proposed allocation technique shows 10% quality improvement comparing to the system without applying the proposed allocation technique.

In this paper, we proposed the mechanism which can measure traffic flow and vehicle speed on the highway as well as road by using the video and image processing to detect and track cars in a video sequence. The proposed mechanism uses the first few frames of the video stream to estimate the background image. The visual tracking system is a simple algorithm based on the sum of absolute frame difference. It subtracts the background from each video frame to produce foreground images. By thresholding and performing morphological closing on each foreground image, the proposed mechanism produces binary feature images, which are shown in the threshold window. By measuring the distance between the "first white line" mark and the "second white line"mark proceeding, it is possible to find the car's position. Average velocity is defined as the change in position of an object divided by the time over which the change takes place. The results of proposed mechanism agree well with the measured data, and view the results in real time.

In order to support the efficient transmission multimedia streams, the multicasting, and the interoperability between multimedia applications in distributed environments, the development of the open exclusive multimedia communication systems and the provision of the control and management methodologies for media streams have been required. In order support the realtime transmission of multimedia stream in distributed environments. the protocols such as RTP, RSVP, and RTSP have been standardized. For supporting the interoperability between multimedia applications and the control and management of streams, the distributed processing platforms such as CORBA by OMG and DSM-CC by DAVIC were published. In this paper, we introduce the CORBA-based distributed multimedia communication system which support the realtime transmission, control, and management of multimedia streams and provide the interoperability between multimedia applications. Finally, we present the QoS measurement results by the interoperability between our systems and VoD systems.

In this paper, we propose an efficient real-time scheduling method of multimedia tasks for decoding frames of MPEG-2 video streams. In our task model, each frame is decoded by a separate multimedia task. The decoding task for each frame is assigned to the priority according to the precedence and importance of frames in a video stream. We use a priority-based scheduling policy in order to effectively allocate the CPU bandwidth to multimedia tasks for MPEG-2 decoding. We show how to dynamically control the fraction of the CPU bandwidth allocated to each multimedia task according to the priority. The primary purpose of our scheduling method is to enhance the real-time performance of the multimedia system by minimizing the number of decoding tasks that have missed their deadlines while reducing the decoding times of these multimedia tasks. The performance of this scheduling method is compared with that of similar mechanisms through simulation experiments.

As smart phones with built-in sensors are developed, research on recognition using wearable devices is increasing. Existing papers are mostly limited on research to personal activity recognition. In this paper, we propose a method to recognize conceptual group activity. Before doing recognition, we generate new data based on the analysis of the conceptual group activity in a classroom. The study focuses on three activities in the classroom environment: Taking Lesson, Doing Presentation and Discussing. With the proposed algorithm, the recognition rate is over 96%. Using this method in real time will make it easy to automatically analyze the activity and the purpose of the classrooms. Moreover, it can increase the utilization of the classroom through the data analysis. Further research will focus on group activity recognition in other environments and the design of an group activity recognition system.

A method for resident space object detection in video stream processing using a set of matched filters has been proposed. Matched filters are constructed based on the connection between the Fourier spectrum shape of the difference frame and the magnitude of the linear velocity projection onto the observation plane. Experimental data were obtained using the mobile optical surveillance system for low-orbit space objects. The detection problem in testing mode was solved for raw video data with intensity signals from three satellites: KORONAS-FOTON, CUSAT 2/FALCON 9, and GENESIS-1. Difference frames of video data with the AQUA satellite pass were used to construct matched filters. The satellites were automatically detected at points where the difference in the value of their linear velocity projection and the reference satellite was close in value. An initial approximation of the satellites slant range vector and position vector has been obtained based on the values of linear velocity projection onto the frame plane. It has been established that the difference in the inclination angle between the detected satellite intensity signal Fourier image and the reference satellite mask corresponds to the difference in the inclinations of these objects. The proposed method allows for detecting and estimating the initial approximation of the slant range and position vector of artificial and natural space objects, such as satellites, debris, and asteroids.
