For the emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, a fast transform unit (TU) decision method is proposed. HEVC defines the TU representing a region sharing the same transformation, and it allows a residual block to be split into multiple TUs recursively to form a quadtree. By using the quadtree of TUs, HEVC supports various transform sizes from $4{\times}4$ to $32{\times}32$. The various sizes of TUs can provide a good coding efficiency, whereas this may increase encoding complexity dramatically. In the assumption that a TU with highly compacted energy is unlikely to be split, the proposed method determines TU sizes according to the position of the last non-zero transform coefficient. In the experimental results, the proposed method reduced 18% encoding run time with the negligible coding loss of 0.7% BD-rate for the Random_access case.

This paper proposes a distributed space-frequency block code (SFBC) for relay-assisted single carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). The proposed technique achieves spatial diversity gain over fast fading channels without the complexity of multiple antennas. The mobile equipment of the proposed system has a very simple transmitter structure with constant amplitude transmit sequences, which is desirable especially for uplink communications. In order to obtain spatial diversity, the transmit sequence of relay is efficiently generated in the time domain, which is equivalent to the SFBC. Further, efficient implementation of relay and destination structures is also presented. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed system significantly outperforms the distributed space-time block code (D-STBC) SC-FDE over fast fading channels.

Although the matching Pursuit is effective for video coding at low bit rate, it has a Problem since it needs much more calculation than the conventional block-based video coding method. The proposed fast matching pursuit method reduces inner product calculation that takes the most part of entire calculation by utilizing the symmetry of the absolute values of the one-dimensional Gator dictionary bases, the modified dictionary which allows faster matching without causing image quality degradation, and a Property of the two-dimensional Gabor dictionary that can be grouped in advance to four classes according to its frequency characteristics. Proposed method needs only about 1/8 of multiplications compared to the well-known separability-based fast method proposed by Neff.

Recently, STC techniques have been considered to be candidate to support multimedia services in the next generation mobile radio communications and have been developed the many communications systems in order to achieve the high data rates. In this paper, we propose the Trellis-Coded Differential Space Time Modulation system with multiple symbol detection. The Trellis-code performs the set partition with unitary group codes. The Viterbi decoder containing new branch metrics is introduced in order to improve the bit error rate (BER) in the differential detection of the unitary differential space time modulation. Also, we describe the Viterbi algorithm in order to use this branch metrics. Our study shows that such a Viterbi decoder improves BER performance without sacrificing bandwidth and power efficiency.

H.264/AVC is showed high coding efficiency more than previous video coding standard by using new coding tools. Specially, Variable block-based motion estimation and Rate-Distortion Optimization are very important coding tools in H.264/AVC. These coding tools have high coding efficiency, however the encoder complexity greatly increase due to these coding tools. In this paper, we propose early SKIP mode decision and selective inter/intra mode decision to reduce the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed method could reduce encoding time of the overall sequences by 30% on average than JM 10.2 without noticeable degradation of coding efficiency. Besides, the proposed method runs over twice as fast as the previous proposed Fast Coding Mode Selection method (FCMS)[5].

Multi-view and 3D video technologies for a next generation video service are widely studied. These technologies can make users feel realistic experience as supporting various views. Because acquisition and transmission of a large number of views require a high cost, main challenges for multi-view and 3D video include view synthesis, video coding, and depth coding. Recently, JCT-3V (joint collaborative team on 3D video coding extension development) has being developed a new standard for multi-view and 3D video. In this paper, major tools adopted in this standard are introduced and evaluated in terms of coding efficiency and complexity. This performance analysis would be helpful for the development of a fast 3D video encoder as well as a new 3D video coding algorithm.

가장 최근의 동영상 압축 표준인 H.264는 매크로블록의 최적 모드를 결정하기 위하여 총 7가지 모드를 사용하여 움직임 예측을 수행하기 때문에 부호화 효율과 수행 성능 면에서 기존의 방식에 비해 좋은 결과를 보이지만, 움직임 예측 과정에서 많은 계산 시간을 필요로 한다는 것이 커다란 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 H.264에서 가변 블륵 단위의 움직임 예측 시 인접한 블록과의 상관성을 분석하여 다음 움직임 예측 모드의 사용 여부를 결정하는 블록 병합 알고리즘을 HEXBS(Hexagon-based Search) 고속 움직임 탐색 알고리즘에 적용하여 움직임 예측 시간을 효율적으로 절약하는 방법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 현재 프레임 블록의 인접 블록으로부터 예측된 움직임 정보를 구하여, 이를 탐색 원점으로 하여 한 방향으로 진행하는 수정된 다이아몬드 지역 레이더 패턴으로 블록정합을 수행하는 수정된 다이아몬드 지역탐색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과 제안된 방식은 기존의 방식들에 비해 PSNR 간에 있어서 평균적으로 0.02~0.37(㏈) 개선되고 속도면에서 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 기존의 다이아몬드 지역탐색 알고리즘보다 탐색 속도면에서 14~24%의 성능향상을 보이면서 화질면에서는 거의 근접하게 나타났다. 제안된 방식은 정량적인 결과뿐만 아니라 부호화후 복호화한 영상의 화질에 있어서도 다른 고속 탐색 알고리즘보다 월등히 우수한 화질을 제공한다.
