In this paper, an effective stereo image compression and reconstruction technique using a new adaptively compensated-disparity prediction scheme is proposed. That is, by adaptively predicting the mutual correlation between the stereo image using the proposed method, the bandwidth of the stereo input image can be compressed to the level of the conventional 2D image and the predicted image also can be effectively reconstructed using this transmitted reference image and disparity data in the receiver. Especially, in the proposed method, once the feature values are extracted from the input stereo image, then the matching window size for the predicted image reconstruction is adaptively selected in accordance with the magnitude of this feature values. From this adaptive disparity estimation method, reduction of the mismatching probability of the disparity vectors is expected and as a result, the image quality in the reconstructed image can be improved. In addition, from some experiments using the CCETT's stereo images of 'Fichier', 'Manege' and 'Tunnel', it is shown that the proposed method improves the PSNR of the reconstructed image to about 9.08 dB on average by comparing with that of the conventional methods. And also, it is found that there is almost no difference between the original image and the predicted image reconstructed through the proposed method by comparison to that of the conventional methods.

Recently, many researches have been focused on multi-view video applications and services such as wireless video surveillance networks, wireless video sensor networks and wireless mobile video. In multi-view video signal processing, to exploit the strong correlation between images acquired by different cameras plays great role in developing a core technique of multi-view video coding. This paper proposes an adaptive multi-view video interpolation technique which is applicable for multi-view distributed video coding without requiring any cooperation amongst the cameras. The proposed algorithm estimates the non-linear moving blocks and employs disparity compensated view prediction, and then fills in the unreliable blocks. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods.

This paper presents a technique for motion compensation of ISAR(Inverse SAR) images for a moving target. If a simple fourier transform is employed to obtain ISAR image for a moving target, the image is usually blurred. These images blurring problem can be solved with the time-frequency transform. In this paper, motion compensation algorithms of ISAR image such as STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform), GWT(Gabor Wavelet Transform) are described. In order to show the performances of each algorithm, we use scattering wave of the ideal point scatterers and simulated MIG-25 to obtain motion compensated ISAR image, and display the resolution of STFT and GWT ISAR image.

To compensate the degraded SAR image due to the residual errors and the spatial variant errors remaining after the motion compensation in the airborne SAR, we have introduced the autofocus method based on the partition processing. Thus, after we perform the spatial partition for the spotlight SAR data and the time partition for the stripmap SAR data, we reconstruct the subpatch images for the partitioned data. Then, we perform the local autofocus with the suitability analysis process for the phase errors estimated by the autofocus. Moreover, if the estimated phase errors are not properly compensated for the subpatch images, we perform the phase compensation method with the weight to the estimated phase error close to the degraded subpatch image to increase the SAR image quality.

움직임 보상-이산 코사인 변환 (motion compensation-discrete cosine transform : MC-DCT) 기반의 동영상 부호화 기법이 부호화 효율성 및 구현의 단순성으로 인해 널리 사용되고 있으나, 에러 환경에서 구조적으로 취약한 면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 메모리 움직임 보상 예측 (long-term memory motion compensated prediction : LTMP) 기반의 다중 레프런스 프레임을 사용하여 에러에 강인한 동영상 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 또한 제안하는 알고리듬에 기반한 에러 은닉 기법 (error concealment : EC)을 구현한다. 즉, R-D (rate-distortion) 최적화에 프레임간 움직임 벡터 (temporal motion vectors)의 확산 인자를 추가하여 에러에 대한 강인성 및 에러 은닉 기법의 효율성을 증가시켰다. 또한, 제안하는 알고리듬은 시간축상의 에러 전파를 피드백 정보 (negative acknowledgement : NAK)를 사용하여 억제한다. 즉, NAK는 채널 에러에 의해 손실된 영역과 에러가 전파된 영역을 추정하여 움직임 보상 영역에서 제외되도록 하는데 이용된다. 따라서, 제안하는 알고리듬은 PSNR 측면에서 FIU (forced intra update)에 근사하는 성능을 보이나, FIU와는 달리 비트율의 증가를 피할 수 있어 제한된 대역폭의 네트웍을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있다. 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 H.263 및 LTMP 기반의 부호기에 비해 에러 환경에서 주관적 및 객관적 화질 측면에서 성능이 우수함을 보인다.

Since DVC (Distributed Video Coding) and FRUC (Frame Rate Up Conversion) techniques need to have an efficient motion compensated frame interpolation algorithms. Conventional works of these applications have mainly focused on the performance improvement of overall system. But, in some applications, it is necessary to evaluate how well the MCI (Motion Compensated Interpolation) frame matches the original frame. For this aim, this paper deals with the modeling methods for evaluating the block-based matching cost. First, several matching criteria, which have already been dealt with the motion compensated frame interpolation, are introduced and then combined to make estimate models for the size of MSE (Mean Square Error) noise of the MCI frame to original one. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the block-based cost evaluation models are tested and can be effectively used for estimating the MSE noise.

가상화 기술을 기반으로 하는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 실시간 응용들을 수행하려는 움직임이 많아지고 있다. 이 응용들의 실시간성을 보장하기 위해 리눅스의 실시간 스케줄러를 활용한 기법들이 제안되었지만, 이 기법들은 가상 머신들의 공정한 수행을 보장하지 못한다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 우리는 실시간 클라우드 환경에서 가상 머신 스케줄링의 공정성을 보장하기 위해 virtual runtime 보상 기반의 가상 머신 공정 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 실시간 응용으로 인해 CFS가 인지하지 못한 CPU 시간을 체크하고 이를 virtual runtime에 반영하여 가상 머신 간의 공정한 수행을 보장한다. 우리는 제안된 기법을 리눅스 커널 상에 구현하였다. 제안된 기법을 적용한 결과, 가상 머신 간의 수행시간 차이가 기존 경우보다 47% 줄어든 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we investigated the improvement degree of transmission distance of the various initial frequency chirped optical pulse with 5 dBm initial power dependence on the various bit rate and fiber dispersion coefficient, when MSSI(Mid-Span Spectral Inversion) with the optimal pump power condition is adopted for the compensation method for optical pulse distortion. And we analyzed the influence of mutual relation of optical pulse frequency chirp and Kerr effect on the MSSI methods for the long-haul optical transmission through the computer simulation. We found that the compensation degree of distorted optical pulse varies as a consequence of the variation of combined phase modulation of self phase modulation(Kerr effect) and initial frequency chirp parameter dependence on the fiber dispersion coefficient. And we found that, if the transmission bit rate is increased k times, the dispersion coefficient value of dispersion shift fiber is decreased $2^k$ times so as to be almost the same performance of the transmission system with k times lower bit rate.

This paper suggests a motion compensation technique using GPS/IMU data in order to compensate for phase error caused by undesired motion of radar platform. An actual flight trajectory would be deviate from an ideal straight-constant trajectory with a constant velocity for SAR imaging, due to pitch, roll and yaw motion of aircraft caused by turbulence. This leads to blurred SAR images due to inter-pulse phase errors as well as along-track velocity errors. If the motion compensation is carried out to reduce those errors, SAR image quality can be significantly improved. Simulation results show that the motion compensation technique introduced in this paper is an effective tool to improve SAR image quality against severe motion of radar platform.

H.264/AVC는 SoC/IEC MPEG와 ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group에서 함께 발표한 비디오 코딩을 위한 가장 최근의 표준이다. 기존의 표준들 보다 적은 비트로 높은 압축률과 좋은 화질을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 1/4 화소 움직임 예측과 보상의 지원과 7가지의 가변블록에 대한 움직임예측과 블록모드별 RD(Rate-Distortion)를 수행하고 CAVLC등 H.264/AVC 표준에서 채택한 여러 가지 비디오 압축방식으로 인해 그 복잡도가 훨씬 증가하였다. 이 논문에서 H.264/AVC의 복호화기에서 복잡도의 약 $40\%$ 이상을 차지하는 움직임보상 모듈을 효율적으로 수행하고 최적화하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 예측된 모션벡터에 따라 창조하는 프레임에서 매크로블록을 만들어 내는 움직임 보상 과정을 수행하는 데 있어서 접근 지연시간이 큰 외부 메모리 창조를 선인출 메커니즘을 이용하여 미리 예측하여 수행함으로써 전체 수행시간을 줄이는 기법을 적용하였다. 이를 통하여 가변길이 복호화 모듈과 움직임 보상모듈을 수정하여 반복적으로 읽고, 쓰기를 수행해야 하는 횟수를 줄였다. 실험 결과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 이용하여 복호화 과정을 수행했을 때 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)의 손실은 전혀 없으면서 복호화기의 전체 실행시간을 약 $5\%$ 향상시키고, 핵심 모듈인 움직임 보상과정에서 약 $20\%$ 정도 실행시간을 향상시키는 등 높은 성능 향상을 보였다.
