본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 알고리즘이 갖는 처리단위 및 분포 특성을 활용하여 저전력 효과를 극대화 할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 Microscopic DVS(Dynmic Voltage Scaling) 기법을 제시하였고, MPEG 오디오 및 비디오를 대상으로 저전력을 위한 알고리즘 최적화 기법을 제시하였다. 통상적으로 긴 task 단위로 반영되는 macroscopic한 분포특성에 기반하여 저전력 제어가 이루어지는 기존의 DVS 기법과는 달리, 본 연구에서는 수십 밀리초(msec) 내외의 짧은 멀티미디어 신호 실시간 처리 단위, 즉 프레임 단위로 DVS 전력 제어를 수행하는 기법을 제시하고 이를 Microscopic DVS 기술이라 칭하였다. 특히 본 연구에서 제시한 microscopic DVS 기법은 멀티미디어 프레임별 연산량에 따라 단순히 전압-주파수를 가변 시켜주는 개념뿐만이 아니라, microscopic DVS에 의한 전력 절감 효과를 극대화 시킬 수 있도록 프레임별 연산량의 평균과 분산에 자유도를 확대 허용하는, 멀티미디어 알고리즘 자체에 대한 새로운 형태의 최적화 개념까지를 포함하였다. 제안한 전력절감기법의 타당성 검증을 위해 MPEG-2 video decoder와 MPEG-2 AAC audio encoder를 ARM9 processor 상에서 본 과제에서 제시한 전력절감기법을 적용하여 시뮬레이션 하였으며, 그 결과 video decoder의 경우 50$\%$, audio encoder의 경우 30$\%$ 정도의 전력 절감 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

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.

Personalized media includes user-targeted and user-generated content (UGC) exchanged through social media and interactive applications. The increased consumption of UGC presents challenges and opportunities to multimedia information systems. We work towards modeling a deep structure for content networks. To gain insights, a hybrid practice with Media Framework (MF) is presented for network creation of personalized media, which leverages the authoring methodology with user-generated semantics. The system's vertical integration allows users to audition their personalized media networks in the context of a global system network. A navigation scheme with dynamic GUI shifts the interaction paradigm for content query and sharing. MF adopts a multimodal architecture anticipating emerging use cases and genres. To model diversification of platforms, information processing is robust across multiple technology configurations. Physical and virtual networks are integrated with distributed services and transactions, IoT, and semantic networks representing media content. MF applies spatiotemporal and semantic signal processing to differentiate action responsiveness and information responsiveness. The extension of multimedia information processing into authoring enables generating interactive and impermanent media on computationally enabled devices. The outcome of this integrated approach with presented methodologies demonstrates a paradigmatic shift of the concept of UGC as personalized media network, which is dynamical and evolvable.

This paper describes a method to estimate the noise power using the minimum statistics approach, which was originally proposed for audio processing. The proposed minimum statistics-based method separates a noisy image into multiple frequency bands using the three-level discrete wavelet transform. By assuming that the output of the high-pass filter contains both signal detail and noise, the proposed algorithm extracts the region of pure noise from the high frequency band using an appropriate threshold. The region of pure noise, which is free from the signal detail part and the DC component, is well suited for minimum statistics condition, where the noise power can be extracted easily. The proposed algorithm reduces the computational load significantly through the use of a simple processing architecture without iteration with an estimation accuracy greater than 90% for strong noise at 0 to 40dB SNR of the input image. Furthermore, the well restored image can be obtained using the estimated noise power information in parametric image restoration algorithms, such as the classical parametric Wiener or ForWaRD image restoration filters. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the noise power accurately, and is particularly suitable for fast, low-cost image restoration or enhancement applications.

본 논문에서는 MPEG 비디오 스트림을 분석하여 DCT DC 계수를 추출하고 이들로 구성된 DC 이미지로부터 제안하는 robust feature를 이용하여 shot을 구하고 각 feature들의 통계적 특성을 이용하여 스트림의 특징에 따라 weight를 부가하여 구해진 characterizing value의 시간변화량을 구한다. 구해진 변화량의 local maxima와 local minima는 MPEG 비디오 스트림에서 각각 가장 특징적인 frame과 평균적인 frame을 나타낸다. 이 순간의 frame을 구함으로서 효과적이고 빠른 시간 내에 key frame을 추출한다. 추출되어진 key frame에 대하여 원영상을 복원한 후, 색인을 위하여 다수의 parameter를 구하고 사용자가 질의한 영상에 대해서 이들 파라메터를 구하여 key frame들과 가장 유사한 대표영상들을 검색한다.

Internet-based social and interactive video applications have become major constituents of the envisaged applications for next-generation multimedia networks. However, inherently dynamic network conditions, together with varying user expectations, pose many challenges for resource allocation mechanisms for such applications. Yet, in addition to addressing these challenges, service providers must also consider how to mitigate their operational costs (e.g., energy costs, equipment costs) while satisfying the end-user quality of service (QoS) expectations. This paper proposes a heuristic solution to the problem, where the energy incurred by the applications, and the monetary costs associated with the service infrastructure, are minimized while simultaneously maximizing the average end-user QoS. We evaluate the performance of the proposed solution in terms of serving probability, i.e., the likelihood of being able to allocate resources to groups of users, the computation time of the resource allocation process, and the adaptability and sensitivity to dynamic network conditions. The proposed method demonstrates improvements in serving probability of up to 27%, in comparison with greedy resource allocation schemes, and a several-orders-of-magnitude reduction in computation time, compared to the linear programming approach, which significantly reduces the service-interrupted user percentage when operating under variable network conditions.
