In this paper, we propose a new view synthesis technique for coding of multi-view color and depth data in arbitrary camera arrangements. We treat each camera position as a 3-D point in world coordinates and build clusters of those vertices. Color and depth data within a cluster are gathered into one camera position using a hierarchical representation based on the concept of layered depth image (LDI). Since one camera can cover only a limited viewing range, we set multiple reference cameras so that multiple LDIs are generated to cover the whole viewing range. Therefore, we can enhance the visual quality of the reconstructed views from multiple LDIs comparing with that from a single LDI. From experimental results, the proposed scheme shows better coding performance under arbitrary camera configurations in terms of PSNR and subjective visual quality.

최근 인터넷 VOD 서비스가 확산되면서 세계방송시장에 큰 변화가 초래되고 있다. 특히 기존 유료방송시장에 대한 위기인식은 이용자들의 '코드커팅'현상과 광고시장이 위축되는 결과를 통해서 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 유료방송시장에 새로운 경쟁자로 등장한 인터넷 동영상 서비스(OTT) 사업자들은 양질의 콘텐츠 확보를 위해서 집중 투자하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 현재 인터넷 동영상 서비스의 일종인 인터넷 VOD 서비스 이용자들의 영화 콘텐츠 이용과 관련하여 지각된 용이성, 지각된 유용성, 충족의 관계와 영향력을 알아보았다.

High-quality digital broadcasting contents are susceptible to illegal copy and unauthorized redistribution, which makes broadcasters difficult to protect valuable media assets. So, broadcasters and content providers need the technology for copyright protection of professional digital content. Digital watermarking technology is one of the most actively developed solutions for the copyright protection. This paper suggests the requirements of watermarking technology in DTV(Digital TV) environment for copyright protection and shows the developed real-time watermark embedding/detecting system for HD(High Definition)/SD(Standard Definition) video and experimental results of the system against watermark attack tests. Our watermarking system meets the watermarking requirements of invisibility, robustness and security of DTV environment.

National support for use of IPTV in school has increased for the purpose of enhancing public education. As a convergence media, IPTV is expected to create a better and more successful learning experience with individualized content and advanced technology. While the potential benefits of IPTV have been discussed in different perspectives, we cannot fully benefit from new media without careful preparation and pedagogical consideration. Therefore, purpose of this study was to investigate educational use and applicability of IPTV in Korea. First, it redefines the concept and characteristics of IPTV in an educational context. Second, it identifies the main issues and considerations in practice. Lastly, the paper discusses guidelines for future tasks to facilitate the educational use of IPTV in terms of educational application, technological issues (e.g., LMS, set-top box), and content development.

This paper presents the design of a broadcasting scenario and system for an 8K-resolution content. Due to an 8K content is four times larger than the 4K content in terms of size, many technologies such as content acquisition, video coding, and transmission are required to deal with it. Therefore, high-quality video and audio for 8K (ultra-high definition television) service is not possible to be transmitted only using the current terrestrial broadcasting system. The proposed broadcasting system divides the 8K content into four 4K contents by area, and each area is hierarchically encoded by Scalable High-efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) into three layers: L0, L1, and L2. Every part of the 8K video content divided into areas and hierarchy is independently treated. These parts are transmitted over heterogeneous networks such as digital broadcasting and broadband networks after going through several processes of generating signal messages, encapsulation, and packetization based on MPEG media transport. We propose three methods of generating streams at the sending entity to merge the divided streams into the original content at the receiving entity. First, we design the composition information, which defines the presentation structure for displays. Second, a descriptor for content synchronization is included in the signal message. Finally, we define the rules for generating "packet_id" among the packet header fields and design the transmission scheduler to acquire the divided streams quickly. We implement the 8K broadcasting system by adapting the proposed methods and show that the 8K-resolution contents are stably received and serviced with a low delay.

The year 2020 was a time when the coronavirus infections-19 (COVID-19) caused various changes in society. In particular, the fields that have been conducted face-to-face have been greatly confused by the transition to an online non-face-to-face method, and this is the case with the field of education. There are two main advantages of offline education. The first is that we can improve our understanding through communication with teachers, and the second is that we can develop social skills through interaction with friends. But as online classes progressed due to corona 19, interaction could not be achieved. As a result, the motivation for learning has been reduced due to difficulties in real-time feedback, and the participation rate has been significantly lowered, especially in lower grades, raising concerns about the learning gap that will occur after corona 19. However, there are some cases in which online classes were conducted as effectively as offline classes by utilizing various contents. What they have in common is the use of content. Teachers generally improved the quality of education by linking interesting sights and videos that enhance learning comprehension. The provided video conveys learning-related content into stories, enabling intuitive observation. Many students were already enjoying these videos through VOD (Video on Demand) such as TV and YouTube, they were able to connect their easy access to content and interest in learning. Appropriate use of video content has rather increased the learning effect and should continue after corona 19. Therefore, it is necessary to study methodologies that apply video content efficiently to education. This study looked at the steps that needed content application through the development of education programs, and observed its meaning. Students were curious about the content, motivated to learn and participated in learning on their own. Intuitive learning, conducted through appreciation, play and content production, provided an opportunity to learn on their own in everyday life.

최근 국내 대중가요 시장은 디지털 음원을 중심으로 규모가 증가하고 있다. 2012년~2016년도의 연간 음원차트 100위권의 곡을 디지털 음원과 악보를 통해 분석한 결과 연평균 BPM은 5년간 총 11.26 하락하였다. 매년 음악 스타일은 다양화 되었고, 특히 힙합의 비중이 2012년 8.5%에서 2015년 17.8%까지 2배가량 높아졌다. 댄스음악과 발라드의 선호비율은 높았으나, 둘의 관계는 반비례 형태이다. 가수 구성은 여성솔로와 남성그룹의 비율이 반비례하였다. 특히 곡의 빠르기와 장단조의 관계는 느린 템포 곡은 장조의 비율이 81.42%였고, 빠른 템포 곡은 단조가 53.85%를 차지하였다. TV드라마 OST의 경우 가수 구성에서 솔로 가수의 곡을 선호하였으며, 음악스타일은 팝이 80%를 차지하였으며, 발라드가 20%를 차지하였다.

Overlay texts are artificially superimposed on the broadcasting videos by human producers. These texts provide additional information to the audiovisual content. Especially, the overlay texts in news video contain concise and direct description of the content. Therefore, it is most reliable clue for constructing a news video indexing system. To make this indexing system in the TV news program, it is important to detect and recognize the texts. This paper proposes the identification of the overlay text beginning frame to help the detection and recognition of the overlay text in news videos. Since all frames in the video sequences do not contain the overlay texts, the overlay text extraction from every frame is unnecessary and time-wasting. Therefore, to focus on only the frame containing the overlay text can be enhanced the accuracy of the overlay text detection. The comparative experiments of the text beginning frame identification methods were carried out with respect to Korean television news videos. Then the appropriate processing method is proposed.

최근 LCD TV와 같은 순차 주사형 디스플레이의 보급에 따라 HDTV등의 전송에 사용된 비월 주사 영상을 순차 주사 영상으로 변환하는 기존의 디인터레이싱 기술에 대한 화질 개선 요구가 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상 콘텐츠에 따른 움직임 정보의 통계값을 계산하여 영상 콘텐츠의 종류별로 미리 설정된 임계값에 따라 공간적, 시간적 디인터레이싱 방법을 선택적으로 적용하는 움직임 적응형 디인터레이싱 기법을 제안한다. 또한 공간적 디인터레이싱의 화질을 개선하기 위하여 소벨 연산을 이용하여 수직 에지와 수평 에지의 비율에 따라 M-ELA 방법과 DOI 방법을 선택적으로 사용하는 개선된 공간적 디인터레이싱 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 실험 영상에 대한 객관적, 주관적 평가를 통하여 제안한 방법이 기존의 디인터레이싱 방법에 비해 우수한 화질을 보임을 확인하였다.

고속 네트워크의 보급과 LCD/LED TV 보급의 증대, 디스플레이장치의 대형화와 고해상도화로 인하여 정보전달전송매체(DID 또는 PID) 시장이 크게 성장하고 있고, 스마트 기기의 대중화와 정보전달전송매체 시장의 확대는 콘텐츠 서비스의 N-Screen화를 요구한다. 대학에서도 학교 및 학과의 홍보 및 정보 전달을 목적으로 다양한 형태의 DID를 설치, 운영 중에 있으나 아직은 미디어콘텐츠를 실행 시키는 수준에 머물러 있다. 이에 대학에서 스마트 폰과 인터넷이 통합된 양방향 N-Screen 통신이 가능한 차세대 전자게시판을 구현하고 평가한다. 본 게시판은 N-Screen을 지원하고, 게시물을 실시간으로 삽입, 삭제할 수 있고, 양방향 통신을 제공하여 효율성을 높였다.
