In this paper, we proposed a method for representing local facial features based on LDP (Local Directional Pattern). To represent both PFF (Permanent Facial Features) and TFF (Transient Facial Features) effectively, the proposed method configure local facial feature vectors based on overlapped blocks for each facial feature in the forms of various size and shape. There are three advantages - it take advantages of geometric feature based method; it shows robustness about detection error using movement characteristics of each facial feature; and it shows reduced sampling error because maintain spatial information caused by block size variability. Proposed method shows better classification accuracy and reduced amount of calculation than existing methods.

In this paper we propose a Fractional Channel Reservation (FCS) scheme to satisfy a desired handoof dropping probability and to reduce the blocking probability of new calls using mobility characteristics and incoming handoff rate in mobile communication networks. When the ratio of the handoff call arrival rate is less then the ratio of the new call arrival rete, the proposed scheme is capable of determining the number of the guard channels which can guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) in terms of the request handoff dropping probability and allocating dynamically the wireless channels the new calls according to the rest of the guard channels to reduce the new call blocking probability. Also we perform mathematical analysis and simulation to evaluate the performance of proposed scheme and compare to conventional guard channel scheme in terms of dropping probability blocking probability and the utilization efficiency of wireless channels.

A new image coding technique has been proposed based on the wavelet transform. To achieve lower ceding rates and good qualities in reconstructed images, some of wavelet coefficients were removed by thresholding and quantized in accordance with the sensitivity of the human visual system(HVS). For each block of subimages in wavelet transform domain, block thresholding scheme has been used to remove the unimportant wavelet coefficients according to the frequency characteristic and statistical property of wavelet coefficients. The location information of quantized blocks and removed blocks were encoded using run-length coder which is effective for the exponential distribution. Quantized coefficients were encoded using variable length coder which matches well to their distribution. Simulation results show that the reconstructed images maintain high quality with the low bit rate, below 1.0 bits per pel.

지금까지의 비트 율 조절에 대한 연구는 일정한 프레임 율을 갖는다는 가정 하에서 매크로 블록 단에서의 연구가 대부분이었다. 그러나 저 전송률 환경에서는 사용 할 수 있는 bit 수가 적기 때문에 오히려 이러한 가정이 성능을 저하시킬 수 있다. 우리는 이 논문에서 저 전송률 환경에서 문제가 되는 motion jerkiness 와 flickering effort 를 개선시키고 프레임 skip 을 방지하는 비트율 조절 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 허용하는 지연 시간 안에서 부호화단에 부가적인 계산량을 거치 부가하지 않기 때문에 실시간 처리에 적합하다. 실험 결과는 우리의 기법이 저 전송률 환경에 적함함을 보여준다.

A vector quantization technique using a variable block size was applied to image compression of digitized X -ray films. Whether the size of VQ block should be subdivided or not is determined experimentally by the threshold value. The simulation result shows that the performance of the proposed vector quantizer is suitable for the medical image coding, which is applicable to PACS( Picture Archiving and Communication System).

The conventional BMA is performed with the fixed block size. For better performance at low bitrate, the block size is required to be large in relatively stationary area, while small in moving area. Thus, in this paper, a video coding technique using variable block size model is proposed. It decides the block size based on the degree of local motion defined by the local mean and variance of blocks. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method gives comparable performance to the conventional one with less bits required for motion vector coding.

In this paper we propose a fast adaptive image restoration filter using DCT-based block classification for reducing block artifacts in compressed images. In order to efficiently reduce block artifacts, edge direction of each block is classified by using the DCT coefficients, and the constrained least square (CLS) on the observation that the quantization operation in a series of coding process is a nonlinear and many-to-one mapping operator. And then we propose an approximated version of constrained optimization technique as a restoration process for removing the nonlinear and space-varying degradation operator. For real-time implementation, the proposed restoration filter can be realized in the form of a truncated FIR filter, which is suitable for postprocessing reconstructed images in HDTV, DVD, or video conference systems.

H.264/AVC, a recently developed video compression standard, is used for various applications because of its high coding efficiency. Variable block mode plays important role in the high coding efficiency of H.264/AVC but involves significant computations to select the optimal mode. In this paper, a fast mode decision method for H.264/AVC P slices is presented. To reduce computations for mode decision, the proposed mode decision method skips the mode decision processes for small partition modes using distortions of SKIP mode and intra16x16 mode. The experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce encoding time up to 66.41% while maintaining compression efficiency.

In this paper, a fast intermode decision scheme is introduced by efficiently performing the mode decision using statistical hypothesis testing for hierarchical B-picture coding of SVC, in which much computational power is expensed for combined variable block sizes and hierarchical B-pictures. The hypothesis testing in the proposed method is performed on $16{\times}16\;and\;8{\times}8$ blocks to have early termination for RD computation of all possible modes. The early termination in intermode decision is performed by comparing the pixel values of current blocks and corresponding motion-compensated blocks. The proposed scheme exhibits effective early termination behavior in intermode decision and leads to a significant reduction up to 69% in computational complexity with slight increment in bit amounts. The degradation of visual quality turns out to be negligible in terms of PSNR values.
