In this paper, we present a novel method to solve the inevitable RGB beam mismatch problem in projection TV receivers. Conventional methods solve the mismatch problem by directly controlling the cathode ray tube (CRT) using the convergence yoke (CY). Unlike conventional methods, the proposed method is based on digital video processing using image warping techniques. Firstly RGB beam projection paths are mathematically modeled. Then based on the modeling, the input video signal to CRT is prewarped so that RGB beams are landed at the same point on the screen. Since the proposed method is based on a digital video processing instead of using CY, it can outperform the conventional method in terms of quality and cost. The experimental results with a real 60´projection TV demonstrate that the proposed method indeed produces converged images on the projection TV screen.

In this paper, we present a design of video and audio single chip encoder/decoder for portable multimedia application. The single-chip called as video audio signal processor (VASP) consists of a video signal processing block and an audio single processing block. This chip has mixed hardware/software architecture to combine performance and flexibility. We designed the chip by partitioning between video and audio block. The video signal processing block was designed to implement hardware solution of pixel input/output, full pixel motion estimation, half pixel motion estimation, discrete cosine transform, quantization, run length coding, host interface, and 16 bits RISC type internal controller. The audio signal processing block is implemented with software solution using a 16 bits fixed point DSP. This chip contains 142,300 gates, 22 Kbits FIFO, 107 kbits SRAM, and 556 kbits ROM, and the chip size is $9.02mm{\times}9.06mm$ which is fabricated using 0.5 micron 3-layer metal CMOS technology.

In this paper, we present an efficient instruction set architecture using vector register file hardware to accelerate operation of general matrix-vector operations in DSP microprocessor. The technique enables in-situ row-access as well as column access to the register files. It can reduce the number of memory access significantly. The technique is especially useful for block-based video signal processing kernels such as FFT/IFFT, DCT/IDCT, and two-dimensional filtering. We have applied the new instruction set architecture to in-loop deblocking filter processing in H.264 decoder. Performance comparisons show that the required load/store operations for the in-loop deblocking filter can be reduced about 42%. The architecture would improve the processing speed, and code density in DSP microprocessor especially for video signal processing substantially.

A high dynamic range (HDR) video service is an upcoming issue in the broadcasting industry. For compatibility with legacy devices receiving a non-constant luminance (NCL) signal, new tools supporting an HDR video service are required. The current pre-processing chain of HDR video can produce color noise owing to the chroma component down-sampling process for video encoding. Although a luma adjustment method has been proposed to solve this problem, some disadvantages still remain. In this paper, we present an adaptive color noise reduction method for an NCL signal of an HDR video service. The proposed method adjusts the luma component of an NCL signal adaptively according to the information of the luma component from a constant luminance signal and the level of color saturation. Experiment results show that the color noise problem is resolved by applying our proposed method. In addition, the speed of the pre-processing is increased more than two-fold compared to a previous method.

To manipulate large video databases, effective video indexing and retrieval are required. A large number of video indexing and retrieval algorithms have been presented for frame-w]so user query or video content query whereas a relatively few video sequence matching algorithms have been proposed for video sequence query. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to extract key frames using color histograms and to match the video sequences using edge features. To effectively match video sequences with low computational load, we make use of the key frames extracted by the cumulative measure and the distance between key frames, and compare two sets of key frames using the modified Hausdorff distance. Experimental results with several real sequences show that the proposed video retrieval algorithm using color and edge features yields the higher accuracy and performance than conventional methods such as histogram difference, Euclidean metric, Battachaya distance, and directed divergence methods.

In this paper we have designed the signal processing system for driving the Poly-Si TFT LCD of EWS. The signal processing system consist of timing controller, ramp signal generator and video signal processing system. Timing controller includes the top-down inversion. left right inversion, left-right shifting and control signal generator according to multi-source signal. The video signal processing system generates sawtooth-shaped waveform by using PROM and DAC for multi-gray scales and implements gamma correction function for compensating the TFT-LCD nonlinear charcteristic of the TFT-LCD. Finally we have discussed the experiment results and its application according to the designed TFT-LCD driving system.

본 논문은 밝기 변화가 심한 비디오 시퀀스에 대해 효율적인 움직임 보상 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘에서는 화면간의 밝기 변화 변수들을 추정하고 지역적인 움직임 보상을 수행한다. 밝기 변화가 심한 화면을 검출하기 위해 연속되는 두 프레임간의 히스토그램의 크로스 엔트로피를 계산하여 밝기 변화가 심한 화면을 그렇지 않은 화면과 나누어 밝기 변화가 심하지 않은 경우에 발생할 수 있는 불필요한 계산량을 줄였다. 밝기 변화가 심한 비디오 시퀀스에 대한 실험결과 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘에 비해 적은 계산량으로 높은 PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) 성능을 나타내었다.

Currently, the development of multimedia communication has progressed so rapidly that the video program service has become a requirement for ordinary customers. The quality of experience (QoE) for the visual signal is of the fundamental importance for numerous image and video processing applications, where the goal of video quality assessment (VQA) is to automatically measure the quality of the visual signal in agreement with the human judgment of the video quality. Considering the codec effect to the video quality, in this paper an efficient non-reference (NR) VQA algorithm is proposed which estimates the video quality (VQ) only by utilizing the distorted video signal at the destination. The VQA feature vectors (FVs) which have high relationships with the subjective quality of the distorted video are investigated, and a hybrid NR VQA (HNRVQA) function is established by considering the multiple FVs. The simulation results, testing on the SDTV programming provided by VCEG Phase I, show that the proposed algorithm can represent the VQ accurately, and it can be used to replace the subjective VQA to measure the quality of the video signal automatically at the destinations.

동영상 부호기에서 화면내 프레임 부호화는 전체 프레임의 화질에 중요한 영향을 미친다. 표준화된 동영상의 부호기는 DCT를 쓰지만, 저 비트율에서의 블록화 현상으로 화질의 열화를 가져올 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 화질의 열화를 감소시키고 인간 시각적인 측면에서의 화질 개선을 위한 비디오 코딩을 제안한다. 제한안 방법에서는 웨이브릿 변환에서 인지적 가중치를 화면내 프레임에 적용하여 SPIHT와 VLC를 이용하여 부호화하였고, 인간 시각 특성을 고려하여 시각적인 노이즈를 제거하여 주관적인 화질을 향상 시켰다.

비디오 데이터들의 효율적 색인과 검색을 위해서는 비디오 시퀀스의 유사도 측정방법이 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문은 비디오 시퀀스에 대한 효율적인 유사도 측정을 위해 휘도 성분 투사법을 제안한다. 기존의 알고리즘들이 히스토그램, 윤곽선, 움직임등과 같은 특성을 사용한 반면 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 휘도 성분을 투사하는 방법을 사용하여 비디오 유사도 특성을 효율적으로 나타낼 수 있다. 비디오 데이터의 효율적인 색인과 계산량 감소를 위해 누적된 유사도에 의해 추출된 키프레임들을 이용하여 비디오 시퀀스의 유사도를 구하고 수정된 하우스도르프 거리를 사용하여 키프레임 묶음들의 유사도를 측정하였다. 실험결과 제안한 휘도투시법을 사용한 비디오 색인 기법이 유사도 특성에서 기존의 특성을 사용한 방법에 비해 확연한 정확도 및 성능 차이를 보였다.
