The number of bits per message and the number of tones in the frequency-hopping sequence are determined by the available bandwidth and the data rate of each user. These parameters in turn determine the tone duration which strongly influences the vulnerability of the system to transmission distortions. In this paper, an address code which is assigned to each individual user was employed in order to reduce the collisions or hit. Also the frequency band is divided into several subbands and each user transmits multitone frequency per subband per chip. And the new system which is to increase the duration of each tone by increasing the total number of system frequencies that has been proposed. It is found that an optimum value bit, tone, number of frequencies per chirp can improve the err performance. This flexibility slightly increases maximum efficiecy and makes the the system less vulnerable to multipath delay. So, It is found that as the nuber of user increased 50%, the efficiency as a tuncion of the bandwidth to user'rate ratio improve 20%.

In this paper, the wavelet video coding using Low-Band-Shift(LBS) method and multiresolution motion estimation(MRME) is proposed. To overcome shift- variant property on wavelet coefficients, the LBS was proposed. LBS method previously has superior performance in terms of rate-distortion characteristic. However, this method needs more memory and computational complexity. Therefore to reduce computational complexity of video coding using LBS, we combine MRME with LBS. When mm is applied only, it has 7 times as much as existing method's motion vector because each subband has different motion vector using property of LBS, number of motion vector decreases. Proposed method decreases motion vector, and it decreases motion compensated Prediction error by detailed motion estimation. And then it shows better coding performance. Also this method reduces computational amount by smaller search area in higher resolution. The computational complexity of the proposed method is 12.1% of that of existing method at 3-level wavelet transform. The experimental results with the proposed method show about 0.2∼9.7% improvement of MAD performance in case of lossless coding, and 0.1∼2.0㏈ improvement of PSNR performance at 4he same bit rate in case of lossy coding.

This paper presents an effective motion estimation to improve the performance of the motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) which is a core part of the wavelet-based scalable video coding. The proposed scheme makes the motion vector field uniform by the modified median operation and the search strategies using adjacent motion vectors, in order to enhance the pixel connectivity which is significantly relevant to the performance of the MCTF. Moreover, the motion estimation with variable block sizes that reflects the features of frames is introduced for further correlation improvement of the motion vector field. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method reduces the decomposed energy on the temporal high frequency subband frame up to 30.33% in terms of variance compared to the case of the full search with fixed block sizes.

Since Wavelet Transform decomposes a video frame into subbands with various frequencies and resolutions, the reconstructed video qualify at a receiver fluctuates according to the location of transmission errors within frames. This deteriorates the whole visual duality of the video. Specifically, for a wavelet based video which exploits the motion estimation prediction scheme, the transmission errors of a subband not only have a bad effect on other subbands within a same frame but also propagates to the subsequent frames. In this paper, we propose BDP(Block Based Dispersive Packetization) scheme, for a wavelet based video stream, which maintains constant video quality despite packet location that a transmission error occurs. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we use MRME(Multi-Resolution Motion Estimation) scheme to compress a video in Inter coding mode and Gilbert´s error model to generate the error patterns in wireless network environment. The simulation results show that BDP is more efficient than BP (Block based Packetization) or DP (Dispersive Packetization) in both PSNR and visual quality.

In this paper, we proposed an image hiding method which decreases the amount of calculation encrypting partial data rather than the whole image data using a discrete wavelet transform and a linear scalar quantization which have been adopted as the main technique in JPEG2000 standard and then implemented the proposed algorithm to hardware. A chaotic system was used instead of encryption algorithms to reduce further amount of calculation. It uses a method of random changing method using the chaotic system of the data in a selected subband. For ciphering the quantization index it uses a novel image encryption algorithm of cyclical shifting to the right or left direction and encrypts two quantization assignment method (Top-down coding and Reflection coding), made change of data less. The experiments have been performed with the proposed methods implemented in software for about 500 images. The hardware encryption system was synthesized to find the gate-level circuit with the Samsung $0.35{\mu}m$ Phantom-cell library and timing simulation was performed, which resulted in the stable operation in the frequency above 100MHz.

Due to expected wide spread use of DCT based image/video coding standard, it is advantageous to process data directly in the DCT domain rather than decoding the source back to the spatial domain. The block processing algorithm provides a parallel processing method since multiple input data are processed in the block filter structure. Hence a fast implementation of the algorithm is well suited. In this paper, we propose the JPEG browse by Block Transform Domain Filtering(BTDF) using subband filter banks. Instead of decompressing the entire image to retrieve at full resolution from compressed format, a user can select the level of expansion required$(2^N{\times}2^N)$. Also this approach reduces the computer cpu time by reducing the number of multiplication through BTDF in the filter banks.

Image compression based on Wavelet gives much better quality than JPEG based on DCT, but suffers from ringing or blurring effects around edges as the compression is increased. In this paper, we proposed enhanced image compression by pre-processing wavelet coefficients. This pre-processing is performed by making a low threshold and enhanced by zerotree scan method when subband's zerotrees are established. It might increase significants coefficient by means of modifying the threshold and reflect on the orientation of subbands. Some experimental results show our method is more efficient than the conventional methods, JPEG. And then the developed coding scheme improves the quality of images and visually shows more pleasing results for most practical images.

In this paper, we propose two fast VQ coclebook search algorithms efficient to the Wavelet/ VQ coding schemes. It is well known that the probability having large values in wavelet coefficient blocks is very low. In order to apply this property to codebook search, the index tables of the reordered codebook in each wavelet subband ae used. The exil condition in PDE can be satisfied in an earlystage by comparing the large coefficients of the codeword with their corresponding elements of input vector using the index tbles. As a result, search time can be reduced.

When finite length image signal is decomposed into M-band synthesized using M-band orthogonal wavelet transform, the boundary signal of image are not reconstructed perfectly. for boundary signals to be reconstructed perfectly, different type filter bank or technique is applied to them when the dimension of analysed is proposed. It can be designed using the singular value decomposition of boundary perfect reconstruction matrix which is obtained from paraunitary matrix which is obtained from paraunitary matrix. And it is also discussed to design the boundary filter bank for improving the coding performance when it is applied to subband coder. The proposed boundary filter bank shows 7% gains in PSNR compared with reflected method.

Video watermarking technologies are classified into types of four kinds. The first type is to embed the watermark into a raw video signal and to code the watermarked video signal. Most of video watermarking technologies fall into the category of this type. The second type is to apply watermarking to the coding process, such as block DCT and quantization. The third is to directly embed the watermark into the compressed bitstream itself. Generally, it is referred as labelling rather than watermarking. Finally, the fourth is to embed the water mark into MPEG motion vector. This type has the difficulty in real-time process because of the high complexity and has the blocking effects because of DCT-based on coder. In this paper, we proposed the digital video watermarking that embed the watermark in SPIHT video code for I-frame using motion vector analysis. This method can remove the blocking effect occurred at the DCT-based on coder and obtain video data that has progressive transmission property. The proposed method is to select the region for the watermark embedding in I frame using motion vector estimated from the previous P or B frame. And then, it is to perform DWT and embed the watermark based on HVS into the wavelet coefficients in the same subband of DWT as the motion vector direction. Finally, the watermarked video bitstream is obtained by the SPIHT coder. The experimental results verified that the proposed method has the invisibility from the objective and subjective image quality and the robustness against the various SPIHT compression and MPEG re-code.
