Even though the emergency telecommunication make possible that specialist offers medical care over emergency cases in moving vehicle, we still have many problems in transmitting the image or video of patient over several wireless networks. To alleviate the effect of channel errors on compressed video bit-stream, this paper analyzed the error resilient features of JPEG2000 standard and measured the quality of transmission over noisy wireless channel, CDMA2000 1xEV-DO networks, compared to the features of error resilient tool of MPEG-4. We also proposed the optimum solution of transmitting images over real 3G network using JPEG2000 error resilient tool.

In these days, compressed file is useful in internet environment and has many advantages. So a lot of data hiding algorithms works on JPEG compressed file. Of course they know basic rules of transformation and quantization and they utilize those rules to implement their programming. But most of them evaluate the affection of data hiding after data modification. We propose how to predict the affection of data modification in course of data hiding process. Through some kind of experiments, several valuable facts are revealed which used in data hiding in compressed domain such as JPEG. These facts will improve existing data hiding algorithms (F3, F4 and F5 which including Matrix Encoding)[1],[5],[6].

We know that JPEG image format is one of the most popular image formats in the digital area and distribution of digital photographic drawing it is interested frequently in certain types of forensic investigation. In most case, corrupted images are shown gaudiness with the boundary of the corrupted parts. In the paper, we propose a technique to carve correct JPEG images using transformation method and the approach can be used for JPEG image file carving tool development.

JPEG 은 현재의 디지털 이미지 시장에서 가장 널리 사용되는 형식 중의 하나로 대부분 디지털 이미징 응용에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 이와 같은 환경에서 새로운 이미지 부호화 표준의 적용이 없이 현재의 디지털 시장에 쉽게 적용할 수 있는 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 논문에서는 JPEG 의 부호화에 사용되는 YCbCr 색 공간에서 YCbCr 성분의 좌표축을 변환하여 밝기 성분 (Y 성분)이 보다 많은 정보를 가지도록 하는 CCT (Color Coordinate Tuning) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험을 통하여 블록별로 동적으로 CCT 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 기존 JPEG 부호화의 성능이 개선됨을 보였다.

The irreversible 9/7 JPEG2000, which is one of sub-band coding techniques, has a problem of severe picture quality distortion at the edge and the background caused by the quantization error below 0.15bpp. In this paper, to solve such problems we propose a VQ(Visual Quantizer) based on L-pdf(Laplace probability density function) statistical characteristics of high frequency sub-bands. The proposed VQ is designed by visual parameter for improving the subjective quality and weighting parameter for increasing the compression ratio. A proposed method, based on 9/7 JPEG2000 scheme, gives the high subjective quality to reconstructed images below 0.15bpp and provides minimum MSE(Mean-Squared Error) regardless of the compression ratio.

We compress medical images in order to solve problems both of request of storage mediums and of a low network speed. In this paper, integration compression environment has been developed for unity of various compression methods. Various compression methods that are implemented by integration compression environment, RLC, Lossless JPEG, and JPEG, comply with the DICOM 3.0. A compression method using DWT is implemented at it. And a unit method of Lossless compression method and lossy compression method is designed to improve images quality and to progress compression ratio. Diverse medical images can be compressed by each compression method. And integration compression environment is operated together database so that information of medical images is administered.

Typically, the file sizes of JPEG compressed images with various complexity differ from images regardless of same image size. So, it is not easy to estimate the remaining image counts that should be stored in the limited storage equipped with the digital camera. To solve the problem, the bit rate control employs the modification of quantization table. The previous work assumed that there is linear relation between image activity and modification factor of quantization table, but in this paper, more accurate functional relations based on statistics are employed to improve the bit rate control accuracy. Computer simulations reveals that the standard deviation of the bit rate error of the proposed scheme is 50% less than that of the conventional method.

Image distortions, such as quantization errors, can have a severe negative impact on the performance of computer vision algorithms, and, more specifically, on object detection algorithms. State-of-the-art implementations of the JPEG-2000 image coder commonly allocate the available bits to minimize the Mean-Squared-Error (MSE) distortion between the original image and the resulting compressed image. However, considering that some state-of-the-art object detection methods use the gradient information as the main image feature, an improved object detection performance is expected for JPEG-2000 image coders that allocate the available bits to minimize the distortions on the gradient content. Accordingly, in this work, the Gradient Mean-Squared-Error (GMSE) based JPEG-2000 coder presents an improved object detection performance over the MSE based JPEG-2000 image coder when the object of interest is located at the same spatial location of the image regions with the strongest gradients and also for high bit-rates. For low bit-rates (e.g. 0.07bpp), the GMSE based JPEG-2000 image coder becomes overly selective in choosing the gradients to preserve, and, as a result, there is a greater chance of mismatch between the spatial locations of the gradients that the coder is trying to preserve and the spatial locations of the objects of interest.

With the increasing use of multimedia technologies, image compression requires higher performance as well as new functionality in the informationized society. Specially, in the specific area of still image encoding in embedded system, a new standard, JPEG2000 that improve various problem of JPEG was developed. This paper proposed a method that reduce quantity of data delivered in EBCOT(Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation) process using SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees) Algorithm to optimize selection of threshold from feature of wavelet transform coefficients and to remove sign bit in LL area for the increment of compression efficiency on JPEG2000. The experimental results showed the proposed algorithm achieves more improved bit rate in embedded system.

JPEG2000은 기존의 정지영상압축부호화 방식에 비해 우수한 비트율-왜곡(Rate-Distortion)특성과 향상된 주관적 화질을 제공하며 인터넷, 디지털 영상카메라, 이동단말기, 의학영상 등 다양한 분야에서 적용될 수 있는 새로운 정지영상압축 표준이다. 본 논문에서는 SoC(System on a Chip)설계를 고려한 JPEG2000 인코더의 구조를 제안하고 IP(Intellectual Property)를 설계 및 검증하였다. 구현된 JPEG2000 IP는 DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform)블록, 스칼라양자화블록, EBCOT(Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation)블록으로 구성되어 있다. IP는 모의실험을 통해 구현 구조에 대한 타당성을 검증하였고, 반도체설계자산연구센터에서 제시한 'RTL Coding Guideline'에 따라 HDL을 설계하였다. 특히, DWT블록은 구현시 많은 연산과 메모리 용량이 필요하므로 영상을 저장할 외부 메모리를 사용하였고, 빠른 곱셈과 덧셈연산을 위한 3단 파이프라인 부스곱셈기(3-state pipeline booth multiplier)와 캐리예측 덧셈기(carry lookahead adder)를 사용하였다. 설계된 JPEG2000 IP들은 삼성 0.35$\mu\textrm{m}$ 라이브러리를 이용하여 Synopsys사 Design Analyzer 틀을 통해 논리 합성하였으며, Xillinx 100만 게이트 FPGA칩에 구현하여 그 동작을 검증하였다. 또한, Hard IP 설계를 위해 Avanti사의 Apollo툴을 이용하여 Layout을 수행하였다.
