As the MPEG streaming traffics are transmitted over the Internet, MPEG packet losses cause error propagation in both spatial and temporal domains which in turn leads to severe degradation in image quality. This image degradation is become worse by the bursty packet loss at the network. In this paper, we propose a new error spreading method to reduce the effects of bursty packet losses over the Internet. The proposed error spreading method spreads out the not utilize packet losses widely, and can be used for videocasting and video-broadcasting that do not utilize the ARQ method. The proposed method can not only reduce the consecutive losses of image blocks, but also improve the performance of error concealment. Experimental results show that the deterioration of MPEG video quality can be reduced by spreading out the MPEG packet losses.

Streaming video service over wireless and mobile communication networks has received significant interests from both academia and industry recently. Specifically, mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) is capable of providing high data rate and flexible Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, supporting mobile streaming very attractive. However, we need to note that streaming videos can be partially deteriorated in their macroblocks and/or slices owing to errors on OFDMA subcarriers, as we consider that compressed video sequence is generally sensitive to the error-prone channel status of the wireless and mobile network. In this paper, we introduce an OFDMA subcarrier-adaptive mobile streaming server based on cross-layer design. This streaming server system is substantially efficient to reduce the deterioration of streaming video transferred on the subcarriers of low power strength without any modifications of the existing schedulers, packet ordering/reassembly, and subcarrier allocation strategies in the base station.

In this study, we developed a deep learning and vision sensor-based assembly performance evaluation method isfor prefabricated steel structures. The assembly parts were segmented using a modified version of the receptive field block convolution module inspired by the eccentric function of the human visual system. The quality of the assembly was evaluated by detecting the bolt holes in the segmented assembly part and calculating the bolt hole positions. To validate the performance of the evaluation, models of standard and defective assembly parts were produced using a 3D printer. The assembly part segmentation network was trained based on the 3D model images captured from a vision sensor. The sbolt hole positions in the segmented assembly image were calculated using image processing techniques, and the assembly performance evaluation using the k-nearest neighbor algorithm was verified. The experimental results show that the assembly parts were segmented with high precision, and the assembly performance based on the positions of the bolt holes in the detected assembly part was evaluated with a classification error of less than 5%.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was verifying factors that affect to intention to use AI financial services and finding a way of building an user oriented AI ecology. Methods: This study used the UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model with independent variables such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, trust, personal innovativeness and AI understanding as moderating variable. The data was collected through online & offline survey with questionnaire from 330 financial customers. Results: As a result, the analysis suggested that the performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, personal innovativeness are statistically significant to the intention to use AI. It was also found that AI knowledge of users differently influence the intention to use through the moderating effect on the facilitating conditions. Conclusion: Performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, personal innovativeness have positive causation to the intention to use in AI financial service. On the facilitating conditions, unlike other variables, it was found that the user's intention to use was different by the level of AI understanding. It means that customers could have the strong intention to use AI even though they don't have enough pieces of knowledge on the factors. Customers seem to be of recognition that the technology has certain benefits for themselves. The facilitating factors are significantly affected by AI understanding and differently effect on the intention to use AI.

영상 정보의 정확성을 필요로 하는 다양한 서비스 및 여러 학문 분야의 적용성으로 인해 물리적인 한계성을 극복할 수 있는 고해상도 영상처리 기법의 요구가 대두되고 있다 뿐만 아니라, 인터넷 상의 디지털 콘텐츠 중의 하나인 동영상 UCC의 제작환경이 보편화됨으로써 비전문적인 제작으로 인한 다양한 형태의 해상도 저하 및 영상의 왜곡 현상이 발생하여 고품질의 영상을 추구하는 사용자들의 요구를 충족시키지 못하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 압축 동영상의 개선 된 영상 정보를 획득하기 위한 연구가 이루어지고 있지만 다음과 같은 문제점이 있다. 기존의 방법은 일반적으로 저역 통과 필터 기법과 정규화 영상 복원 방식으로 구분되어 연구되고 있으며, 저역 통과 기법은 계산량 측면에서 장점이 있으나, 영상과 양자화 정도에 따라 적응적이지 못한 단점이 있다. 또한 정규화 복원 방식은 압축 영상의 시각적으로 불편한 현상의 완화 정도를 결정하는 정규화 매개변수를 일괄적으로 모든 화소에 적용해, 화소의 위치에 대한 적응도가 낮고 정규화 매개 변수 선택 시 원 영상에 대한 정보를 알고 있다는 가정을 사용했으므로 실제 사용이 불가능하며, 영상들 사이의 불균일로 인해 적응적으로 처리하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있도록 압축 정보 활용을 통한 POCS 방식을 사용한 coding artifact 제거 방식에 대해 기술한다.

In ROI processing of JPEG2000, a region of large image indicated by the user must be processed preferentially, because it takes a considerable amount of time to display the full image. When the user indicates a region of the outlined image, then the browser masks the region and sends the mask information to the server that transmitted the outlined image. The server that receives the mask information preferentially sends the corresponding code blocks. Here, a quick generation of mask information is important. In this paper, we use 48 predefined mask patterns, which are defined according to the distribution shape of ROI and background to reduce the computing time. As a result, compared to other methods that precisely handles the ROI and background, the processing time of the method is remarkably reduced, but the quality is short of the existing methods just a little bit.

This paper presents an effective call admission control algorithm using the Common Pool on the virtual path in ATM networks. Call admission control decides whether or not to accept a new call, so as to ensure the service quality of both individiual existing calls and of the new call itself. In the proposed algorithm, a new call is accepted when the sum of the bandwidths of existing calls and of the new call will not exceed lind capacity. If the sum of their bandwidths exceed link capacity, reserved bandwidth of Common Pool is considreed to accept the new call. Computer simulation results using a simuple network model are algorithm given to evaluate accuracy and call blocking probability by the proposed method.

Recent advances in video coding technology have resulted in rapid growth of application in mobile communication, With this explosive growth reliable transmission and error resilient technique become increasingly necessary to offer high quality multimedia service. In this paper, we present the result of our investigation on the error resilient performance evaluation of the MPEG-4 simple profile under the H.324/M and the H.264/AVC baseline under the IP packet networks. Especially, we have tested error resilient tools of MPEG-4 simple profile such as resynchronization marker insertion, data partitioning, and of H.264/AVC baseline such as the flexible macroblock ordering (FMO) scheme. The objective quality of decoded video is measured in terms of rate and PSNR under various random bit and burst error conditions.

Recently, FD(Frame Dropping)-CD(Coefficient Dropping) transcoding is considered mainly due to the low computational complexity and simple implementation. But, CD errors in the FD-CD transtoding scheme tend to be propagated and they have a significant effect on the qualities of decoded images. In this paper, we derive the error characteristics incurred by the CD operations and propose an effective estimation model that adaptively describes well the characteristics of propagation/accumulation errors in compressed domain. Furthermore, we apply the proposed model to distortion control achieving nearly constant distortion allocation among frames. Simulation results show that the proposed model is quite accurate in estimating the overall distortions and is effectively applied to distortion control over a range of sequences with varying scene types.
