Abstract

To support dynamic Region-of-Interest(ROI) in JPEG2000, a fast ROI mask generation is needed. In the existing methods of ROI coding, after scanning all the pixels in order and discriminating ROI, an ROI mask has been generated. Our method scans 4 pixels of the corners in one code block, and then based on those informations, scans the edges from the corners to get the boundaries of ROI and background. These informations are consisted of a distributed information of ROI and two coordinates of the pixels, which are the points the edges and the boundaries meet. These informations are transmitted to encoder and supported for fast ROI mask generation. There were no great differences between the proposed method and the existing methods in quality, but the proposed method showed superiority in speed.

JPEG2000에서 동적 관심영역 코딩을 지원하기 위해서는 빠른 ROI 마스크 생성이 제공되어야 한다. 기존의 관심영역 부호화에서는 모든 픽셀을 순차적으로 탐색하여 관심영역을 판별한 후에 ROI 마스크를 생성하므로 많은 처리시간을 요구하였다. 제안한 방법은 하나의 코드블록내에 네 모서리 부분의 픽셀을 탐색하고, 이 정보를 기반으로 ROI와 배경의 경계를 찾아내기 위해 가장자리를 탐색한다. 탐색 후 얻어진 결과는 ROI 분포정보와 가장자리와 경계부분이 만나는 지점인 두 점의 좌표로 구성된다. 얻어진 두 정보는 인코더로 전송되어 빠른 ROI 마스크를 얻도록 지원된다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교했을 때 품질은 큰 차이가 없지만, 탐색 시간과 마스크 생성시간에서 우수함을 보였다.
