This paper introduces a method for video shot group detection needed for efficient management and summary of video. The proposed method detects shots based on low-level visual properties and performs temporal and spatial clustering based on visual similarity of neighboring shots. Shot groups created from temporal clustering are further clustered into small groups with respect to visual similarity. A set of representative shot frames are selected from each cluster of the smaller groups representing a scene. Shots excluded from temporal clustering are also clustered into groups from which representative shot frames are selected. A number of video clips are collected and applied to the method for accuracy of shot group detection. We achieved 91% of accuracy of the method for shot group detection. The number of representative shot frames is reduced to 1/3 of the total shot frames. The experiment also shows the inverse relationship between accuracy and compression rate.

In this paper, we proposed a multimedia hardware architecture for video-conferencing in view of the multimedia data flow. By simulating the architecture model, we analyzed the bottleneck of multimedia data flow, varying video size, frame rate, number of participants, and video data compression rate. To confirm the simulation results, we also implemented and tested the architecture that almost includes the analyzed requirements for video- conferencing. From the analysis of I/O system, we found the considerations in designing a multimedia I/O system.

Due to the recent developments of attaining 3D contents by using devices such as 3D scanners, the diversity of the contents being used in AR(Augmented Reality)/VR(Virutal Reality) fields is significantly increasing. There are several ways to represent 3D data, and using point clouds is one of them. A point cloud is a cluster of points, having the advantage of being able to attain actual 3D data with high precision. However, in order to express 3D contents, much more data is required compared to that of 2D images. The size of data needed to represent dynamic 3D point cloud objects that consists of multiple frames is especially big, and that is why an efficient compression technology for this kind of data must be developed. In this paper, a motion estimation and compensation method for dynamic point cloud objects using 3D DCT is proposed. This will lead to switching the 3D video frames into I frames and P frames, which ensures higher compression ratio. Then, we confirm the compression efficiency of the proposed technology by comparing it with the anchor technology, an Intra-frame based compression method, and 2D-DCT based V-PCC.

Video objects of interest play an important role in representing the video content and are useful for improving the performance of video retrieval and compression. The objects of interest may be a main object in describing contents of a video shot or a core object that a video producer wants to represent in the video shot. We know that any object attracting one's eye much in the video shot may not be an object of interest and a non-moving object may be an object of interest as well as a moving one. However it is not easy to define an object of interest clearly, because procedural description of human interest is difficult. In this paper, a set of four filtering conditions for extracting moving objects of interest is suggested, which is defined by considering variation of location, size, and moving pattern of moving objects in a video shot. Non-moving objects of interest are also defined as another set of four extracting conditions that are related to saliency of color/texture, location, size, and occurrence frequency of static objects in a video shot. On a test with 50 video shots, the segmentation method based on the two sets of conditions could extract the moving and non-moving objects of interest chosen manually on accuracy of 84%.

IBDI (Internal Bit Depth Increase) is able to significantly improve the coding efficiency of high definition video compression by increasing the bit depth (or precision) of internal arithmetic operation. However the scheme also increases required internal memory for storing decoded reference frames and this can be significant for higher definition of video contents. So, the reference frame memory compression method is proposed to reduce such internal memory requirement. The reference memory compression is performed on 4x4 block called the processing unit to compress the decoded image using the correlation of nearby pixel values. This method has successively reduced the reference frame memory while preserving the coding efficiency of IBDI. However, additional information of each processing unit has to be stored also in internal memory, the amount of additional information could be a limitation of the effectiveness of memory compression scheme. To relax this limitation of previous memory compression scheme, we propose a selective merging-based reference frame memory compression algorithm, dramatically reducing the amount of additional information. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides much smaller overhead than that of the previous algorithm while keeping the coding efficiency of IBDI.

Very low bit rate video coding uses the inter-picture video coding method for high compression. The inter-picture video coding is coded based on the information of the previous frames so any packet loss can lead to reduce the image quality on the transmission. In this paper, we proposed the multi-stream generation method for inter-media synchronization of very low bit rate video based on TCP for reliable transmission. The proposed approach performs a reliable transmission via a TCP based protocol. This method incorporates multi-streams in order to enhance the robustness of delivery and can withstand against network jitter. Moreover, the client bandwidths are fully utilized in a highly efficient way.

This paper presents about an implementation of Video Transmitting and Receiving System(VTRS) for acquiring test data. The VTRS consists of two parts. The first is Transmitter Unit(TU) that is installed on a missile to acquire various kinds of data and transmit the data to the ground through RF signals. The second is Receiver Unit(RU) that receives the transmitted RF signals and reconstruct those to the original data. To gather a high speed data reliably and securely on the ground, the TU is designed by considering data transfer scheme, data compression, modulation method, encryption technic, link budget, and antenna radiation pattern. Further, a placement method of multiple receiving stations is suggested. The VTRS has been tested on a field to check the link margins and maximum receiving distance in a real environment. Finally, the VTRS is applied to a missile flight test and gathered high speed data reliably.

Video-On-Demand servers have to provide timely processing guarantees and reduce the storage and reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements for continuous media However, compression techniques used in Video-On-Demand servers make the bit rates of compressed video data significantly variable from frame to frame Consequently, most pervious Video-On-Demand servers which use constant bit rate retrieval to guarantee deterministic service under-utilize the system resources and restrict the number of clients. In this paper, I propose a buffer management scheme called CAP(Caching And Prefetching) for Video-On-Demand server using variable bit rate continuous media. By caching and prefetching the data CAP reduces the variation of the compressed data and increases the number of clients simultaneously served and maximizes the utilization of system resources. Results of trace-driven simulations show the effectiveness of the scheme.
