This paper presents a new key frame extraction technique, for scene change detection, using the proposed AHIM (Accumulative Histogram Intersection Measure) from the DC image constructed by DCT DC coefficients in the compressed video sequence that is video compression standard such as MPEG. For fast content-based browsing and video retrieval in a video database, we also provide a novel coarse-to-fine video indexing scheme. In the extracted key frame, we perform the region segmentation as a preprocessing. First, the segmented image is projected with the horizontal direction, then we transform the result into a histogram, which is saved as a database index. In the second step, we calculate the moments and change them into a distance value. From the simulation results, the proposed method clearly shows the validity and superiority in respect of computation time and memory space, and that in conjunction with other techniques for indexing, such as color, can provide a powerful framework for image indexing and retrieval.

We propose a new watermarking method to embed a label in a video which is robust against the change of the group of picture. The proposed method embeds labels in the pixel domain, but detects the label in the DCT frequency domain. For embedding a label, the size of watermark based on the human visual system is calculated to keep a quality of videos. A lookup table haying the pixel patterns and the sequences of a sign of DCT coefficients is used for detecting a label in the DCT frequency domain. In this paper, we analyze bit error rates for labels of videos compressed by MPEG2 using the central limit theorem and compare the simulation results with previous methods.

최근 마이크로소프트 (Microsoft)에서 발표된 후 주목 받고 있는 JPEG XR 은 압축 효율 면에서 뛰어난 장점을 가지고 있다. 일반적으로 JPEG XR 은 기존의 JPEG 과는 다른 압축 과정과 주파수 성분 분포를 가지고 있다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 JPEG 압축 방식과 비교하여 JPEG XR 의 압축영역에서의 영상 필터 처리의 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 JPEG XR 의 압축과정과 주파수 성분 분포의 분석을 기반으로 효율적인 저역/고역통과 필터 함수를 제안하고, 체계적인 실험을 통해 제안한 필터함수의 효율성을 입증하였다.

본 논문은 MPEG 비디오에서 나타나는 여러 예측 형태의 움직임 벡터를 프레임 타입에 관계없이 단일 예측방향만을 갖도록 새롭게 추정하여 비디오 영상물의 분석에 직접적으로 활용하는 방안에 대해 제시하고 있다. 또한 재 추정된 각 프레임에서의 움직임 벡터를 이용한 비디오 시퀀스 내에서의 객체 추출 및 추적 기법 등에 대해서도 함께 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 영상에 대한 복원과정을 거치지 않고, 압축 비디오 영역으로부터 쉽게 추출될 수 있는 매크로 블록 영역 상에서 수행되었으며, 실험 결과는 제안된 방법의 높은 성능을 잘 나타내어 주고 있다.

본 논문에서는 MPEG가 비디오 스트림의 형상 정보를 클러스터링 하여 VO(Visual Object)의 동작을 요약하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 MPEG-4 비트 스트림의 디코딩 없이 형상 정보를 근사화 한다. 그리고 사용자가 입력한 질의 VOP(Video Object Plane)와 VO의 각 VOP와의 NMHD(Normalized Mean Hausdorff Distance)를 구한 후 클러스터링을 수행하여 키 영역을 분리해낸다. 클러스터링에 의해 시간적으로 분리된 영역의 지속성을 고려하여 Rank를 매김으로써 사용자가 원하는 수의 키 VOP를 선택할 수 있게 한다. 제안하는 방법은 클러스터링을 사용함으로써 키 VOP를 선정하였으며, Rank와 질의 VOP를 사용하여 사용자와의 상호작용이 가능하다.

A scene change detection is an important step for video indexing and retrieval. This paper proposes an algorithm by a phased algorithm for fast and accurate detection of abrupt scene changes in an MPEG compressed domain with minimal decoding requirements and computational effort. The proposed method compares two successive I-frames for locating a scene change occurring within the GOP and uses macroblock-coded type information contained in B-frames to detect the exact frame where the scene change occurred. The algorithm has the advantage of speed, simplicity and accuracy. In addition, it requires less amount of storage. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better detection performance, such as precision and recall rate, than the existing method using all DC images.

In this paper, a new watermaking method embedding digital watermarks in the compressed video for the copy protection of multimedia data. The proposed method segments objects and embeds independent watermarks in each objects by spread spectrum method in the bitstream domain which is compressed by DCT and motion compensated coding method like MPEG-2. And, the proposed method not only embeds watermarks but show the robustness to the attacks like average operation or statistical analysis.

Because video sequence consists of dynamic objects in nature, the object motion in video is an effective feature in describing the contents of video sequence and motion feature plays an important role in video retrieval. In this paper, we propose a method that converts motion vectors (MVs) to a uniform set on MPEG coded domain, independent of the frame type and the direction of prediction, and utilizes these normalized MVs (N-MVs) as motion descriptor to understand video contents. We describe a frame-type independent representation of the various types of frames presented in an MPEG video in which all frames can be considered equivalently, without full-decoding. In the experiments, we show that the proposed method is better than the conventional one in terms of performance.

This paper presents a novel digital video steganalysis scheme against the spatial domain video steganography technology based on a spatial temporal detector (ST_D) that considers both spatial and temporal redundancies of the video sequences simultaneously. Three descriptors are constructed on XY, XT and YT planes respectively to depict the spatial and temporal relationship between the current pixel and its adjacent pixels. Considering the impact of local motion intensity and texture complexity on the histogram distribution of three descriptors, each frame is segmented into non-overlapped blocks that are $8{\times}8$ in size for motion and texture analysis. Subsequently, texture and motion factors are introduced to provide reasonable weights for histograms of the three descriptors of each block. After further weighted modulation, the statistics of the histograms of the three descriptors are concatenated into a single value to build the global description of ST_D. The experimental results demonstrate the great advantage of our features relative to those of the rich model (RM), the subtractive pixel adjacency model (SPAM) and subtractive prediction error adjacency matrix (SPEAM), especially for compressed videos, which constitute most Internet videos.

Various multimedia systems have been developed and their application areas widely proliferate. Thus, the interoperability is getting important among various networks and devices. The video transcoding is a technology to solve this interoperability problem among various coding standards. Transcoding can be defined as the conversion of one compressed coded data to another. In this paper, MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 transcoder in the spatial domain is compared with that in the DCT domain. The transcoder is very useful when a video sequence that is originally encoded for digital TV, DVD or satellite broadcasting is served in mobile environment. In order to compare two transcoders, all modules except motion compensation and down sampling are implemented identically. In addition, both transcoders do not search for motion vector. Instead, the decoded information is reused to the encoder. The experimental results show that the transcoder in the spatial domain is usually better than that in the DCT domain with respect to PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio), bitrate and execution time.
