The video coding for very low bit rate has recently received considerable attention, but conventional block based transform coding schemes suffer from the blocking effect for the constraints of bit rates. In this paper, we present a video coding sysem suing multi-resolution motion estimation/compensation with variable size block(VMRME/C) and multi-resolution vector quantization(MRVQ) in wavelet transform domain for very low bit rate coding. It is shown that the presented scheme has better performance in the peak signal-to-nose ratio(RSNR) by 0.2-0.6 dB as well as subjective quality than that of conventional block based transform video coding techniques(especially, H. 263 which is DCT based video coding).

In the decoding process of interframe wavelet coding, the inverse wavelet transform requires huge computational complexity. However, the decoder may need to be used in various devices such as PDAs, notebooks, PCs or set-top Boxes. Therefore, the decoder's complexity should be adapted to the processor's computational power. A decoder designed in accordance with the processor's computational power would provide optimal services for such devices. So, it is natural that the complexity scalability and the low complexity codec are also listed in the requirements for scalable video coding. In this contribution, we develop a method of controlling and lowering the complexity of the spatial wavelet transform while sustaining almost the same coding efficiency as the conventional spatial wavelet transform. In addition, the proposed method may alleviate the ringing effect for certain video data.

State-of-the-art voice codecs have been developed to extend the input bandwidth to enhance quality while maintaining interoperability with a legacy codec. Most of them employ a modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) for coding their extended band. We propose a source filter model-based coding algorithm of MDCT spectral coefficients, apply it to the ITU-T G.711.1 super wideband (SWB) extension codec, and subjectively test it to validate the model. A subjective test shows a better quality over the standardized SWB codec.

In the communications systems with diversity, we are commonly faced on needing of new source coding technique, error resilient coding. The error resilient coding addresses the coding algorithm that has the robustness to unreliability of communications channel. In recent years, many error resilient coding techniques were proposed such as data partitioning, resynchronization, error detection, concealment, reference picture selection and multiple description coding (MDC). Especially, the MDC using correlating transform explicitly adds correlation between two descriptions to enable the estimation of one set from the other. However, in the conventional correlating transform method, there is a critical problem that decoder must know statistics of original image. In this paper, we propose an enhanced method, the MDC using whitening transform that is not necessary additional statistical information to decode image because the DCT coefficients to apply whitening transform to an image have uni-variance statistics. Our experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a good trade-off between the coding efficiency and the reconstruction quality. In the proposed method, the PSNR of images reconstructed from two descriptions is about 0.7dB higher than conventional method at the 1.0 BPP and from only one description is about 1,8dB higher at the same rate.

A multi-mode harmonic transform coding (MMHTC) for speech and music signals is proposed. Its structure is organized as a linear prediction model with an input of harmonic and transform-based excitation. The proposed coder also utilizes harmonic prediction and an improved quantizer of excitation signal. To efficiently quantize the excitation of music signals, the modulated lapped transform(MLT) is introduced. In other words, the coder combines both the time domain (linear prediction) and the frequency domain technique to achieve the best perceptual quality. The proposed coder showed better speech quality than that of the 8 kbps QCELP coder at a bit-rate of 4 kbps.

Recently, block-based transforms, like discrete cosine transform (DCT), have been widely used in image and video coding standards, but block-based transforms have a weak point with blocking effect. However, the integer lapped orthogonal transform (ILOT) is a tool for block-based coding with bases functions that overlap near blocks, so it has a strong point against blocking effect. Although it has slightly higher arithmetic complexity than the DCT, the coding gain is significantly higher with much less blocking artifacts. This paper introduces the integer lapped orthogonal transforms and discrete cosine transform. And we compare the performance of DCT with ILOT which is proposed a new efficient method for image coding applications.

차세대 영상압축 표준인 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)에 적용되는 새로운 인트라 코딩 기법은 잔차 변환을 기반으로 하고 있다. HEVC는 공간상의 중복성을 줄이기 위해 다양한 방향의 공간 예측 방식을 하도록 만들어졌으며, 이를 위해 부호화 하려는 블록의 주변 화소들을 활용하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 HEVC 표준에서의 새로운 무손실 인트라 코딩 방식은, 공간적 예측을 위해 화소 단위 DPCM (Difference Pulse Code Modulation)을 수행하면서도 잔차 변환과, 잔차 변환의 결과로 얻어지는 잔차 신호에 대해 잔차 변환을 재차 시행하는 제 2차 잔차 변환을 사용하여 블록 단위 처리 구조를 유지하고 있다. 결과에서 보여지는 대로, 새로운 무손실 인트라 코딩 방식은 기존의 HEVC 표준과 비교하였을때 비트레이트를 평균 약 6.45%정도 감소시킨다.

In this paper, employing the 3-dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) for the utilization of the temporal correlation, an adaptive motion sequence coding technique is proposed. The energy distribution in a 3-D DCT block, due to the nonstationary nature of the image data, varies along the veritical, horizontal and temporal directions. Thus, aiming an adaptive system to local variations, adaptive procedures, such as the 3-D classification, the classified linear scanning technique and the VLC table selection scheme, have been implemented in our approach. Also, a hybrid structure which adaptively combines inter-frame coding is presented, and it is found that the adaptive hybrid frame coding technique shows a significant performance gain for a moving sequence which contains a relatively small moving area. Through an intensive computer simulation, it is demonstrated that, the performance of the proposed 3-D transform coding technique shows a close relation with the temporal variation of the sequence to be code. And the proposed technique has the advantages of skipping the computationally complex motion compensation procedure and improving the performance over the 2-D motion compensated transform coding technique for rates in the range of 0.5 ~ 1.0 bpp.

Discrete cosine transform (DCT) based JPEG standard significantly improves the coding efficiency of image compression, but it is unacceptable event in serious blocking artifacts at low bit rate and low efficiency of high-definition image. In the light of all phase digital filtering theory, this paper proposes a novel transform based on discrete sine transform (DST), which is called all phase discrete sine biorthogonal transform (APDSBT). Applying APDSBT to JPEG scheme, the blocking artifacts are reduced significantly. The reconstructed image of APDSBT-JPEG is better than that of DCT-JPEG in terms of objective quality and subjective effect. For improving the efficiency of JPEG coding, the structure of JPEG is analyzed. We analyze key factors in design and evaluation of JPEG compression on the massive parallel graphics processing units (GPUs) using the compute unified device architecture (CUDA) programming model. Experimental results show that the maximum speedup ratio of parallel algorithm of APDSBT-JPEG can reach more than 100 times with a very low version GPU. Some new parallel strategies are illustrated in this paper for improving the performance of parallel algorithm. With the optimal strategy, the efficiency can be improved over 10%.

기존의 영상 부호화 표준들보다 높은 압축 성능을 얻기 위해 부호화 효율 측면에서 우수한 기술들이 가장 최근에 완성된 영상 부호화 표준인 H.264/AVC에 채택되었다. 가변 블록 단위의 움직임 예측/보상과 다양한 방향성을 통한 화면 내 예측 방법 등의 영상 부호화 기술들의 발달에도 불구하고, 이산 여현 변환은 초기 영상 부호화 표준에서부터 계속적으로 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 실제 영상 신호가 부호화될 때 생성되는 잔여 신호의 상관 계수 값은 0.5 미만이다. 하지만, 이러한 상관 계수 값의 범위는 이산 여현 변환이 최적의 성능을 나타내는 범위가 아니며, 상관 계수의 범위가 -0.5에서 0.5일 경우 차선의 변환인 이산 정현 변환이 이산 여현 변환과 함께 영상 호화에 사용될 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이산 정현 변환과 H.264/AVC에서의 정수 여현 변환 중 최적의 변환을 율-왜곡 최적화 과정을 이용하여 선택적으로 사용하는 선택 변환을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법을 통해 H.264/AVC의 JM 10.2와 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 비트율에서 최대 0.71 dB의 BD-PSNR 향상을 얻을 수가 있었다.
