Many image and video compression algorithms work by splitting the input image into blocks and producing variable-length coded bits for each block data. If variable-length coded data are transmitted consecutively, then the resulting coder is highly sensitive to channel errors. Therefore, most image and video techniques for providing some protection to the stream against channel errors usually involve adding a controlled amount of redundancy back into the stream. Such redundancy might take the form of resynchronization markers, which enable the decoder to restart the decoding process from the known state, in the event of transmission errors. The Error Resilient Entropy Code (EREC) is a well known method which can regain synchronization without any redundant information to convert from variable-length code to fixed-length code. This paper proposes an enhancement to EREC, which greatly improves its transmission ability for the compressed image quality without any redundant bits in the event of errors. The simulation result shows that the both objective and subjective quality of transmitted image is enhanced compared with the existing EREC at the same BER(Bit Error Rate).

본 논문에서는 변이-움직임 벡터의 상관관계를 통한 동시 추정(joint disparity and motion estimation)을 이용하여 방대한 계산량과 데이터량을 요구하는 스테레오 영상 데이터의 효율적인 부호화를 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 스테레오 시퀀스에 대해서 두 변이 벡터(disparity vector)와 하나의 움직임 벡터(motion vector)의 상관관계를 이용하면 나머지 움직임 벡터는 직접적인 추정 과정 없이 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, 이렇게 얻어진 움직임 벡터는 직접 추정에 비해 정확도가 현저히 떨어져 이 벡터를 그대로 사용하여 영상을 복원하게 될 경우 심각한 오차의 누적이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 효율적인 동시 추정을 위해 추정단에서 벡터 평활화(vector regularization)과정을 수행하고 불확실 벡터 영역 추출을 통한 선택적인 보정 과정을 수행한다. 또한, 불확실 벡터 영역의 벡터만을 가변장 부호화(variable length coding)한다. 실험결과, 직접 추정 과정을 거치지 않고 도 만족할 만한 화질의 영상을 얻을 수 있었으며, 부호화량도 상당히 감소시킬 수 있었다.

In this paper, the method to incorporate TCVQ(Trellis Copded Vector Quantizer) into the encoding of the wavelet trans formed(WT) image followed by a variable length coding(VLC) or an entropy coding(EC) is considered. By WT, an original image is separated into 10 bands with various resolutions and directional components. TCVQ used to compress these WT coefficients is a finite state machine that encodes the input source on the basis of the current input and the current state. Wavelet basis used in this paper is designed by orthogonal spline function. A modified set partitioning algorithm to Wang's is also presented. A simple modification to Wang's algorithm gives a highly time-efficient result. Proposed WT-TCVQ encoder shows a very competitive result, giving 37.46dB in PSNR at 1.002bpp when encoding 512$\times$512 LENA.

Digital watermarking is to embed imperceptible mark into image, video, audio, and text data to prevent the illegal copy of multimedia data. arbitrary modification, and also illegal sales of the copies without agreement of copyright ownership. In this paper, we study for the embedding and extraction of watermark key using wavelet in the luminance signal in order to implement the system to protect the copyright for image MPEG. First, the original image is analyzed into frequency domain by discrete wavelet transform. The RSA(Rivest, Shamir, Aldeman) public key of the coded target is RUN parameter of VLD(variable length coding). Because the high relationship among the adjacent RUN parameters effect the whole image, it prevents non-authorizer not to possess private key from behaving illegally. The Results show that the proposed method provides better moving picture and the distortion more key of insert than direct coded method on low-frequency domain based DCT.

In this paper, we propose a new efficient motion vector coding algorithm for the video sequence with slow motion. In the proposed algorithm, the amount of motion for a given video sequence is determined by a Skip_rate parameter. The motion difference for slow motion is encoded with a combined codeword which is generated from the conventional codewords. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves approximately $15\%$ bits gain compared to the conventional methods. Moreover, additional memory and calculations for statistical observation are not required in the proposed algorithm.

Achieve real-time encryption and video data transcoding, current video encryption methods usually integrate encryption algorithm with video compression course. This paper is devoted to discussing the video encryption technology, by encrypting to avoid unauthorized person getting video data. This paper studied the H.264 entropy coding and proposed of CAVLC video encryption scheme which is combined with the process of entropy coding of H.264 CAVLC encryption scheme. Three encryption levels are proposed. In addition, a scrambling method is also proposed which makes the encrypted frames more robust in anti crack. This method showed more robust video data encryption function and compressive rate.

Compressed still image or video bitstreams require protection from channel errors in a wireless channel. Embedded Zerotree Coding(EZW), SPIHT could have provided unprecedented high performance in image compression with low complexity. If bit error is generated by dint of wireless channel transmission problem, the loss of synchronization on between encoder and decoder causes serious performance degradation. But wavelet zerotree coding algorithms are producing variable-length codewords, extremely sensitive to bit errors. The idea is to partition the lifting coefficients. A many partition of lifting transform coefficients distributes channel error from wireless channel to each partition. Therefore synchronization problem that caused quality deterioration in still image and video stream was improved.

In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy model identification method that can yield a successful fuzzy rule base for fundamental approximations. The method in this paper uses a set of input-output data and is based on a hybrid messy genetic algorithm (mGA) with a fine-tuning scheme. The mGA processes variable-length strings, while standard GAs work with a fixed-length coding scheme. For successfully identifying a complex nonlinear system, we first use the mGA, which coarsely optimizes the structure and the parameters of the fuzzy inference system, and then the gradient descent method which tine tunes the identified fuzzy model. In order to demonstrate the superiority and efficiency of the proposed scheme, we finally show its application to a nonlinear approximation.

In this paper, a novel maximum a posterion (MAP) estimation for the channel decoding of H.264 codes in the presence of transmission error is presented. Arithmetic codes with a forbidden symbol and trellis search techniques are employed in order to estimate the best transmitted. And, there has been growing interest of communication, the research about transmission of exact data is increasing. Unlike the case of voice transmission, noise has a fatal effect on the image transmission. The reason is that video coding standards have used the variable length coding. So, only one bit error affects the all video data compressed before resynchronization. For reasons of that, channel needs the channel codec, which is robust to channel error. But, usual channel decoder corrects the error only by channel error probability. So, designing source codec and channel codec, Instead of separating them, it is tried to combine them jointly. And many researches used the information of source redundancy In received data. But, these methods do not match to the video coding standards, because video ceding standards use not only one symbol but also many symbols in same data sequence. In this thesis, We try to design combined source-channel codec that is compatible with video coding standards. This MAP decoder is proposed by adding semantic structure and semantic constraint of video coding standards to the method using redundancy of the MAP decoders proposed previously. Then, We get the better performance than usual channel coder's.

In this paper, we proposed and implemented a dedicated hardware for Huffman coding which is a method of entropy coding to use compressing multimedia data with video coding. The proposed Huffman codec consists Huffman encoder and decoder. The Huffman encoder converts symbols to Huffman codes using look-up table. The Huffman code which has a variable length is packetized to a data format with 32 bits in data packeting block and then sequentially output in unit of a frame. The Huffman decoder converts serial bitstream to original symbols without buffering using FSM(finite state machine) which has a tree structure. The proposed hardware has a flexible operational property to program encoding and decoding hardware, so it can operate various Huffman coding. The implemented hardware was implemented in Cyclone III FPGA of Altera Inc., and it uses 3725 LUTs in the operational frequency of 365MHz
