Abstract

In this paper, we propose a content-based MPEG transcoding method using a discontinuity feature in the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain. A DCT block is transcoded differently depending on the height of dominant discontinuity within a block. In the experiment, we show the result that the video quality of content-based transcoding is better than that of a constant cut-off method and the processing time of the adaptive method is much faster compared with the pixel domain methods in the same bandwidth.

본 연구에서는 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 영역에서 불연속 특징을 검출하여 내용기반의 동적 비디오 전송을 위한 트랜스코딩 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법에 의하여 동영상 스트림 각각의 DCT블록은 내부의 대표적인 불연속의 크기에 따라 다르게 트랜스코딩되어 전송되며, 실험에서 같은 대역폭을 유지하면서 기존의 저주파 통과 필터에 의한 방법보다 내용기반 방법이 더 좋은 비디오 화질을 나타내며 픽셀 영역에서의 방법보다 처리 시간이 빠름을 나타낸다.
