초록

본 논문에서는 무안경식 3차원 영상처리 기법 중 대표적인 집적 영상 기법을 고려하여 전송 에러를 극복하여 영상 품질을 향상시키는 우선순위 전송 기법을 제안한다. 집적 영상의 각 복셀을 구성하고 있는 픽셀들의 유사성에 기반하여 전송 우선순위를 다르게 설정하고 이에 따라 변조 방식을 다르게 적용한다. 즉, 복셀을 구성하는 해당 픽셀들의 분산값이 작은 경우에는 높은 우선순위를 부여하여 에러에 강인한 특성을 갖는 변조 레벨을 사용하여 전송하고, 복셀을 구성하는 해당 픽셀의 분산값이 큰 경우에는 낮은 우선순위를 부여하여 에러율은 높아지지만 빠른 전송률을 제공하는 변조 기법을 사용하여 전송한다. 우선순위의 구분 없이 동일한 변조 레벨을 사용하는 기존 방식 대비, 우선순위가 높은 중요한 영상 데이터 비트열에 에러에 강인한 변조 레벨을 적용한 제안 방식의 경우에 수신 영상의 peak to sidelobe ratio (PSR)이 개선됨을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, we consider a representative integral imaging method in glasses-free 3D image processing and propose a prioritized transmission scheme for guaranteeing a received video quality in error-prone environments. According to the correlation of pixels consisting of each voxel of integral image, we set the priority differently and apply the modulation level according to this priority value. That is to say, the corresponding pixels with small variance are set to a high priority and transmitted by using a low level modulation that is robust under transmission errors, but the corresponding pixels with greater variance are set to a lower priority and transmitted by using a high level modulation that has a high bit error rate but fast transmission rate. Result shows that the proposed scheme that applies the error-robust modulation level to the important image bit stream with the high priority improves the peak to sidelobe ratio (PSR) of the received 3D image, compared with a typical method that use the same modulation level without distinction of priorities.
