GPU의 병렬성과 연산능력을 일반적인 공학적 문제 해결에 적용하는 GPGPU 컴퓨팅에 대한 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 비디오 압축과정에는 많은 양의 화소 데이터에 동일하게 반복되는 연산을 수행하는 알고리즘이 많이 적용되므로 GPGPU를 통한 고속 병렬 계산의 응용 분야로 매우 적합하다. H.264/AVC는 비디오를 압축하는 가장 최신의 국제표준으로 여러 제품군과 서비스에 대한 적용되어 시장에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPGPU의 응용 분야로 주목 받고 있는 비디오 압축 분야에 대한 적용으로 H.264/AVC의 화면내 예측 모드 결정과정에 GPGPU 병렬 프로그래밍을 적용하여 예측 모드 결정 속도를 향상하는 방법을 제안한다. GPU상에서의 데이터 병렬처리를 위해 CUDA C언어를 사용하였으며, CPU상에서의 연산은 C언어를 사용하여 구현되었다. GPU상에서 프레임 전체에 대한 화면내 예측 모드를 병렬적으로 결정함으로써 이에 소요되는 시간을 줄여 줄 수 있었다. 실험결과 GPU상에서 병렬적으로 예측 모드를 결정할 때 Full-HD급 영상에서 약 2.8배 정도의 속도 향상을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 GPGPU 병렬 프로그래밍을 화면 내 예측뿐만 아니라 반복되는 연산을 수행하는 다른 알고리즘에도 적용하여 부호화기의 계산 부담을 덜어준다면 고속 실시간 비디오 압축 부호기 개발이 더욱 용이해 질것으로 기대된다.

Recently, distributed compressed video sensing (DCVS) has been actively studied in order to achieve a low complexity video encoder by integrating both compressed sensing and distributed video coding characteristics. Conventionally, a motion compensated block compressed sensing with smoothed projected Landweber (MC-BCS-SPL) has been considered as an effective scheme of DCVS with all compressed sensing frames pursuing the simplest sampling. In this scheme, video frames are separately classified into key frames and WZ frames. However, when reconstructing WZ frame with conventional MC-BCS-SPL scheme at the decoder side, the visual qualities are poor for temporally active video sequences. In this paper, to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional scheme, an enhanced MC-BCS-SPL algorithm is proposed, which corrects the initial image with reference to the key frame using a high correlation between adjacent key frames. The proposed scheme is analyzed with respect to GOP (Group of Pictures) structuring method. Experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than conventional MC-BCS-SPL in rate-distortion.

최근 MPEG에서는 ITU-T와 함께 JCT-VC(Joint Collaboration Team on Video Coding)를 구성하여 H.264/AVC 보다 두 배 이상 높은 고효율의 비디오 압축 표준을 진행하고 있으며, 이 새로운 표준을 가칭으로 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)라 부른다. HEVC는 기존의 비디오 압축 표준들과 같이 하이브리드 부호화 구조를 사용하고 있으며, 고해상도 및 고효율의 압축을 실현하기 위해서 많은 새로운 기술들이 소개되었다. UHD급 이상의 고해상도 영상을 위해 큰 블록 단위의 부호화 처리와 변환 부호화 기술이 제안되었다. 그리고 H.264/AVC의 화면 내 예측과 화면 간 예측에 대한 성능 향상을 위해 많은 기술들이 소개되었다. 본 기고에서는 다양한 HEVC 기술 중에 엔트로피 부호화 방법에 대해서 소개한다.

Video object segmentation is one of the core technologies for content-based real-time MPEG-4 encoding system. For real-time requirement, the segmentation algorithm should be fast and accurate but almost all existing algorithms are computationally intensive and not suitable for real-time applications. The MPEG-4 VM(Verification Model) has provided basic algorithms for MPEG-4 encoding but it has many limitations in practical software development, real-time camera input system and compression efficiency. In this paper, we implemented the preprocessing system for real-time camera input and VOP extraction for content-based video coding and also implemented motion detection to achieve the 180 : 1 compression rate for real-time and high compression MPEG-4 encoding.

This paper proposes an adaptive error concealment technique for compressed video. Since redundancy is extracted out during compression process, compressed video is vulnerable to errors which occur during transmission of video over error prone networks such as wireless channels and Internet. Error concealment is a process of reconstructing video out of damaged video bit stream. We proved that scalable encoding is very useful for error concealment. Analysis of experiments shows that some part of image is better concealed by using base layer information and other part of image is better concealed by using previous frame information. We developed a technique which enables to decide which methodology is more effective, adaptively, based on motion vectors and regional spatial activity. We used H.263v2 for scalable encoding, but, our approach could be applied to all DCT based video codec.

This paper propose a method to trace a moving object based on the information directly obtained from MPEG-2 compressed video stream without decoding process. In the proposed method, the motion flow is constructed from the motion vectors involved in compressed video and then we calculate the amount of pan, tilt, zoom associated with camera operations using generalized Hough transform. The local object motion can be extracted from the motion flow after the compensation with the parameters related to the global camera motion. The moving object is designated initially by a user via bounding box. After then automatic tracking is performed based on the mean-shift algorithm of the motion flows of the object. The proposed method can improve the computation speed because the information is directly obtained from the MPEG-2 compressed video, but the object boundary is limited by blocks rather than pixels.

Video-On-Demand servers use compression techniques to reduce the storage and bandwidth requirements. The compression techniques make the bit rates of compressed video data significantly variable from frame to frame. Consequently, Video-On-Demand servers with a constant bit rate retrieval can not maximize the utilization of resources. It is possible that when variable bit rate video data is stored, accurate description of the bit rate changes could be computed a priori. In this paper, I propose a buffer management scheme called MAX for Video-On-Demand server using variable bit rate continuous media. By caching and prefetching the data, MAX buffer management scheme reduces the variation of the compressed data and increases the number of clients simultaneously served and maximizes the utilization of system resources. Results of trace-driven simulations show the effectiveness of the scheme.

본 논문에서는 효과적인 고해상도 비디오 데이터의 처리를 위하여 부호화기 내에서 참조 영상을 저장하는 프레임 메모리를 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 프레임 메모리는 응용분야의 특성상 무손실 압축 및 저 복잡도를 갖는 방법이 요구되는데, 블록 단위의 PCT 를 이용하여 픽셀 사이의 상관도를 제거하고, 적응적 GR 부호기를 이용하여 최종 비트열을 구성하여 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. 다양한 테스트 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과 제안하는 방법이 기존의 압축 방법에 비해 압축 성능이 우수하면서 실행 시간으로 측정한 복잡도 측면에서 유사한 성능을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 압축 성능과 복잡도의 두가지 측면을 종합적으로 판단한 결과 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 충분히 경쟁력이 있음을 알 수 있다.

As the full-motion videos in MPEG are widely available nowadays, an editor that could easily edit such kind of media data is required to develop various multimedia applications. In order to concatenate and apply a transition effect to two video streams encoded in MPEG, they should be decoded first since there are dependencies in the frames in MPEG-encoded video stream. Since this decode-edit-encode process requires a huge amount of computing/storage resources, a new editing scheme that could apply various transition effects to MPEG video streams directly while keeping the quality of video data is strongly required. This paper proposes a new editing scheme that could apply three transition effects (such as fade-in, fade-out, and dissolve) to MPEG video streams in a compressed domain. In the proposed scheme, an extension of previous method in which the frames are partially decompressed and transition effects are applied is adopted for I- and P-frames. In addition, a new processing scheme for B-frame that could apply the transition effects in DCT domain directly using an approximation of motion compensation based on the motion vector to reference frames. Since this processing scheme could apply the transition effects in a compressed domain directly, the editing process could be speed-up about $3{\sim}4$ times faster than previous decode-edit-encoding method while keeping the quality of video data as good as the source data. The proposed scheme could be used to build a software-only MPEG video editing system that helps to edit MPEG video data even on a low-cost desk-top computer.
