We introduce a high-definition three-dimensional television (3DTV) broadcasting system that is fully compatible with the existing transmission system of high-definition television (HDTV). Specifically, we developed high-definition 3DTV broadcasting subsystems including a 3DTV camera, 3DTV video multiplexer and demultiplexer, 3DTV receiver, and 3DTV outdoor broadcast van. To verify the developed subsystems, we performed experimental services of 3DTV broadcasting during the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan. According to our subjective evaluation test, 88% of 273 viewers rated the perceived depth of 3DTV as “Good,” and 36% of the viewers preferred 3DTV to other digital broadcasting services.

We propose an efficient scheme for camera motion characterization in MPEG-compressed video. The proposed scheme detects six types of basic camera motions through threshold-based qualitative interpretation, in which fixed thresholds are applied to motion model parameters estimated from MPEG motion vectors (MVs). The efficiency and robustness of the scheme are validated by the experiment with real compressed video sequences.

Multi-view video has recently gained much attraction from academic and commercial fields because it can deliver the immersive viewing of natural scenes. This paper presents multi-view video processing being composed of intermediate view reconstruction (IVR), graphics composition, and multi-view video viewer. First we generate virtual views between multi-view cameras using depth and texture images of the input videos. Then we mix graphic objects to the generated view images. The multi-view video viewer is developed to examine the reconstructed images and composite images. As well, it can provide users with some special effects of multi-view video. We present experimental results that validate our proposed method and show that graphic objects could become the inalienable part of the multi-view video.

HD padding area is essential redundancy in HD broadcasting. It is possible to use this padding area for the purpose of improving DTV broadcasting services. For utilization of this area, The bit of a service data was converted to black and white $8{\times}8$ block image. Converted block images are compressed with active video and are delivered to a receiver as only DC coefficients in a video stream. video quality is not effected by the proposed method, and service data was perfectly recovered in receiver without errors by using block average and threshold. The proposed utilization of HD essential padding area can possibly overcome the limited transmission stream rate with the bandwidth of HD broadcasting. If service data in transport or video stram were transferred using this padding area, it is possible to improve video quality with expanded video stream rate. Additionally, because the proposed methods are based on well-established standards, it is also useful for world-wide HD broadcasting systems such as ATSC, DVB, and IPTV.

The MPEG-4 multiple auxiliary component (MAC) is a good mechanism to achieve one-stream stereoscopic video coding. However, there is no syntax or semantics for the residual texture data of the disparity-compensated image in the current MAC. Therefore, we propose a novel disparity-compensated coding method using the MAC for stereoscopic video. We also define a novel MAC semantics in MPEG-4 so as to support the proposed coding algorithm. The major difference between the existing and proposed coding methods using the MAC is the addition of the residual texture coding.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템은 시간 동기 및 주파수 옵셋 추정 오차에 따라 시스템 성능이 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는, OFDM을 기반으로 한 디지털 비디오 방송(digital video broadcasting) 시스템을 위한 향상된 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 정수배 주파수 옵셋 추정기는 기존의 ML 추정기에 다단계 추정 방법을 적용하여 개선한 방법이다. 실험 결과를 통해, 제안된 주파수 옵셋 추정 방법이 기존의 ML 추정기에 비해 적은 연산량으로 향상된 주파수 옵셋 추정 성능을 가진다.

디지털 멀티미디어 방송(DMB: Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)은 음성, 영상, 데이터와 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 신호를 디지털 방식으로 변조하여 이동 중에 방송을 청취 할 수 있는 차세대 디지털방송 서비스이다. 하지만 한정된 대역폭으로 인한 비디오 전송율의 한계에 따라 최대 CIF(Common Interleaved Frame)급 화면해상도까지 서비스가 가능하다. 지상파 DMB 전송 고도화 망에서는 계층 변조(Hierarchical Modulation) 전송 기법을 통하여 추가의 전송대역폭을 확보할 수 있으며, 스케일러블 비디오 코딩(Scalable Video Coding) 부호화 방식을 이용하여 고전송효율/고품질의 이동 멀티미디어 방송서비스를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 지상파 DMB가 제공할 수 있는 품질 및 기능을 뛰어넘어, 고품질의 이동 멀티미디어 방송서비스가 가능한 지상파 DMB 전송고도화 망에서의 스케일러블 비디오 적용 방법을 제안한다.

This letter introduces a stereoscopic video broadcasting system that provides 3D visual service and has full backward compatibility with legacy digital television (DTV) service in the same channel capacity. The proposed stereoscopic video broadcasting system in this letter is composed of both a hybrid codec and a multiplexer with a newly defined stereoscopic-related signaling method. In conclusion, the proposed method can be effectively applied for 3D broadcasting services without major changes in legacy broadcasting platforms.

본 논문에서는 유럽향 지상파 디지털 방송 표준인 DVB-T(Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial)와 지상파 모바일 방송 표준인 T-DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)의 TS(Transport Stream)를 하나의 TS로 역다중화하는 멀티모드 방송의 통합 역다중화기(Demultiplexer)를 제안한다. 제안한 TS통합 역다중화 기능을 수행하는 USB 기반의 통합 수신기는 메모리공유기법에 의해 시스템의 부하를 감소하도록 스트림을 제어함으로서 오디오를 재생하였다. 그 결과로 위도우즈 기반의 통합 역다중화기는 각각 기존의 단일모드 DVB-T 역다중화기에 비해 CPU의 사용 점유율 성능이 향상되었다.

This paper presents a 3D video content generation technique and system that uses the multi-view images and the depth map. The proposed uses 3-view video and depth inputs from the 3-view video camera and depth camera for the 3D video content production. Each camera is calibrated using Tsai's calibration method, and its parameters are used to rectify multi-view images for the multi-view stereo matching. The depth and disparity maps for the center-view are obtained from both the depth camera and the multi-view stereo matching technique. These two maps are fused to obtain more reliable depth map. Obtained depth map is not only used to insert a virtual object to the scene based on the depth key, but is also used to synthesize virtual viewpoint images. Some preliminary test results are given to show the functionality of the proposed technique.
