초록

BTC (Block Truncation Coding) 영상 압축은 하드웨어 구현이 간단하고, 영상의 에지 보존 능력이 뛰어나, LCD 오버드라이브의 압축 기법으로 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 높은 화질을 유지하고 높은 압축률을 얻기 위한 방법으로, Multi-Mode BTC (MM-BTC) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 advanced Y-based BTC 방법으로 RGB 각각의 비트맵을 하나의 비트맵으로 단일화 하여 압축 율을 높였고, 본 논문에서 제안하는 improved 2-level 와 4-level BTC 방법을 사용하여 높은 화질을 얻도록 하였다. 시뮬레이션 확인 결과, MM-BTC 는 기존 연구된 BTC 알고리즘 결과보다 최대 2.34 dB 높은 정지 영상 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)결과를 확인 할 수 있었다. LCD overdrive 에 적용한 동영상 PSNR과 비교 결과, MM-BTC 가 기존 연구된 BTC 알고리즘 결과보다 최대 2.33 dB 높은 PSNR 결과가 확인되었다.

BTC (Block Truncation Coding) image compression is simple to implement by hardware and has excellent edge retention capability of image, image compression techniques are widely used in LCD overdrive. In this paper, to maintain high visual quality and has high compression rate, Multi-Mode BTC (MM-BTC) algorithm is proposed. The MM-BTC has high compression rate using advanced Y-based BTC method and has high visual quality using improved 2-level and 4-level BTC method in this paper. As shown in simulation results, MM-BTC improves still image PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) up to 2.34 dB as compared with other algorithms. When the MM-BTC is applied to LCD overdrive, MM-BTC improves moving picture PSNR up to 2.33 dB as compared with other algorithms in literature.
