Morphology is a shape preseving filter. Several morphology filter can be made by the combination of morphological basic operation. If we use morphology filter in decimation process for a hierarchical encoder, there are some advantagesin reduction aliasing effects. In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical coder with morphological filtering and vector quantization. And then, firstly, we confirm that CO filtering is the best one among the 4 kinds of morphology filters to reduce aliasing effects in Laplacian pyramid transmission proposed by Burt. Secondly, the those two coders was compared. The results of our simulation show that our new coder surpasser the Laplacian pyramid especially in complex images.

A low delay code excited linear predictive speech coder(LD-CELP) at bit rates under 8kbps is considered. We try to improve the perfomance of speech coder with frame type dependent modification of synthesis filter. We first classify frames into 3 groups: voiced, unvoiced and onset. For voicedand unvoiced frame, the spectral envelope of the synthesis filter is adapted to the phonetic characteristics. For transition frame from unvoiced to voiced, the synthesis filter which has been interpolated with the bias filter is used. The proposed vocoder produced more clear sound with similar delay level than other pre-existing LD-CELP vocoders.

This paper is studied the improvement of performance for moving picture encoder using H.263. This is used the new motion vector search algorithm using a relation with neighborhood search point and is applied the integer DCT for the encoder. The integer DCT behaves DCT by the addition operation of the integer using WHT and a integer lifting than conventional DCT that needs the multiplication operation of a floating point number. Therefore, the integer Dn can reduce the operation amount than basis DCT with having an equal PSNR. The new motion vector search algorithm is showed almost similar PSNR as reducing the operation amount than the conventional motion vector search algorithm. To experiment a compatibility of the integer DCT and the conventional DCT, according to result compare case that uses a method only and case that uses the alternate two methods of the integer DCT or the conventional DCT to H.263 encoder and decoder, case that uses the alternate two methods is showed doing not deteriorate PSNR-and being each other compatible visually than case that uses an equal method only.

본 논문은 MPEG-2 TM 5 비디오 부호기의 움직임 예측(motion estimation) 처리과정을 소개한다. 비디오에는 공간의 중복성보다 시간의 중복성이 훨씬 많다. 따라서 시간의 중복성을 찾아내는 것이 압축의 효율을 높이는 중요한 척도가 된다. MPEG-2 부호기는 움직임 예측 알고리즘을 사용하여 시간의 중복성을 줄여 압축 효율을 높인다. 움직임 예측은 참조 블록의 위치로부터 원래 블록의 위치를 추정하여 최적의 움직임 벡터를 찾는 과정이다. PMEG-2에서의 움직임 예측은 full search 알고리즘을 사용하여 마지막으로 hlaf pel로 산출한다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-2 움직임 예측 과정을 frame estimation, field estimation, picture 타입에 따른 estimation, 움직임 예측을 위한 블록 매칭 알고리즘, full search 방법 및 움직임 벡터에 대하여 소개한다.

A method is proposed for directional vector quantization using the wavelet packets. After partitioning the wavelet packet coefficients into 9 edges according to the corresponding directions, it encodes and transmits locally dominant edges. The directions of the edges are encoded with a variable length coding and conditional switching of codebooks, while the contents of them with the vector quantization followed by the variable length index coding. The proposed algorithm is superior to various conventional image coding algorithms in the sense of PSNR, which is relatively more significant at very low bit rate such as 0.1~0.3 bpp. As the proposed algorithm preserves the edges which is the most important for the human visual system, it also provides the reconstructed images of good subjective quality even at very low bit rate.

In this paper, we propose the noise reduction method by using the eigenfilter in cyclic prefix system based on SNR. To obtain the signal eigenvectors for the eigenfiltering, we propose a method of obtaining the autocorrelation matrix by exploiting the circulant property of the received block which results from the cyclic extension of the OFDM symbol. Since the structures of the transmitter and the receiver are not changed, the proposed method is easy to apply to the conventional OFDM system. To verify the proposed method, we evaluate the persistency of excitation (POE) criterion for the input and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in the simulation results.

In this paper, we propose a vector quantization method which uses a dynamic address mapping based on exploring the high interblock correlation. In the proposed method, we reduce bit-rate by defining an address transform function, which maps a VQ address of an input block which will be encoded into a new address in the reordered codebook by using side match error. In one case that an original address can be transformed into a new transformed address which is lower than the threshold value, we encode the new address of the transformed convector, and in the other case we encode the address of the original convector which is not transformed. Experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme reduces the bit-rate by 45~50% compared with the ordi-nary VQ method forimage compression, at the same quality of the reconstructed image as that of the ordinary VQ system.

As a demand for a new video coding standard having higher coding efficiency than the existing standards is growing, recently, MPEG and VCEG has been developing and standardizing the next-generation video coding project, named Versatile Video Coding (VVC). Many inter prediction techniques have been introduced to increase the coding efficiency, and among them, an adaptive motion vector resolution (AMVR) technique has contributed on increasing the efficiency of VVC. However, the best motion vector can only be determined by computing many rate-distortion costs, thereby increasing encoding complexity. It is necessary to reduce the complexity for real-time video broadcasting and streaming services, but it is yet an open research topic to reduce the complexity of AMVR. Therefore, in this paper, an efficient technique is proposed, which reduces the encoding complexity of AMVR. For that, the proposed method exploits a special VVC tree structure (i.e., multi-type tree structure) to accelerate the decision process of AMVR. Experiment results show that the proposed decision method reduces the encoding complexity of VVC test model by 10% with a negligible loss of coding efficiency.

In this paper we analyze the code sequence generating algorism defined on $GF(2^n)$ proposed by S.Bostas and V.Kumar[7] and derive the implementation functions of code sequence generator using Boolean functions which can map the vector space $F_2^n$ of all binary vectors of length n, to the finite field with two elements $F_2$. We find the code sequence generating boolean functions based on two kinds of the primitive polynomials of degree, n=5 and n=7 from trace function. We then design and implement the code sequence generators using these functions, and produce two code sequence groups. The two groups have the period 31 and 127 and the magnitudes of out of phase(${\tau}{\neq}0$) autocorrelation and crosscorrelation functions {-9, -1, 7} and {-17, -1, 15}, satisfying the period $L=2^n-1$ and the correlation functions $R_{ij}({\tau})=\{-2^{(n+1)/2}-1,-1,2^{(n+l)/2}-1\}$ respectively. Through these results, we confirm that the code sequence generators using boolean functions are designed and implemented correctly.
