Abstract

In this paper, a directional reconstruction of lost block in image over noisy channel is presented. DCT coefficients or pixel values in the lost blocks are recovered by using the linear interpolation with available neighboring blocks that are adaptively selected by the directional measure that are composed of the DDC (Difference of DC opposite blocks)and SAC(Similarity of AC opposite blocks) between opposite blocks around lost blocks. The proposed directional recovery method is effective for the strong edge and texture regions because we do not make use of the fixed 4-neighboring blocks but exploit the varying neighboring blocks adaptively by the directional information in the local image. In this paper, we describe the novel directional measure(CDS: Combination of DDC and SAC) composed of the DDC and the SAC and select the usable block to recover the lost block with the directional measure. The proposed method shows about 0.6dB PSNR improvement in average compared to the conventional methods.

본 논문은 잡음이 존재하는 전송 선로를 통해 전송된 영상의 손실 블록에 대해 방향성 복구 방법을 제안한다. 손실된 DCT 계수나 화소값들은 손실된 블록 주위의 마주보는 블록 간 DC값 차이(DDC:Difference of DC)와 AC계수의 유사성(SAC: Similarity of AC)으로 구성된 방향성 척도에 의해 적응적으로 선택되어진 이웃 블록들을 이용해서 선형 보간법으로 복구된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방향성 복구 방법은 고정된 이웃 블록을 이용하지 않고 국부 영상 내의 방향성 정보에 따라 적응적으로 변하는 이웃 블록들이 사용하기 때문에 강한 에지 성분이나 텍스쳐 영역에 대해서 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 DDC와 SAC로 구성된 새로운 방향성 척도(CDS: Combination of DDC and SAC)를 구하고 그 방향성 척도를 통해 국부 영역의 특성에 따라 손실된 블록을 복구하기 위한 블록들을 선택한다. 모의실험에서 제안 방법은 기존의 방법보다 평균적으로 약 0.6dB의 PSNR 개선을 보였다.
