In this study, we propose a joint source/channel rate control algorithm for video encoder targeting packet erasure channel. Based on the buffer constraints of video communication systems, encoding rate constraint is presented. After defining source distortion models for coded and skipped video frames and a channel distortion model for packet errors and their propagation, an average distortion model of received video is proposed for a given encoding window. Finally, we define an optimization problem to minimize the average distortion for given channel rates and packet loss rates by controlling spatio-temporal parameters of source video and FEC block sizes. Then, we propose a window-based algorithm to solve the problem in real-time.

In this paper, we propose a multi-view coding(MVC) algorithm with considering view scalability. The proposed algorithm has a high compression efficiency by reducing inter-view redundancy through inter-view decomposition, and adaptively reconstructs a multi-view video from an encoded bit stream. Furthermore, a reference view can be decoded by a traditional H.264/AVC, and the other views are adaptively decoded at the receiver by filtering to support view scalability. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performed better than the conventional H.264 codec even though it offers the view scalability.

In this paper, we propose a de-blocking filter for improvement of coding efficiency and computational complexity reduction on a high definition video coding. Recently, the H.264/AVC standard-based research for high definition video coding method is under way because the amount of used of high definition videos is on the increase. The H.264/AVC de-blocking filter is designed for low bitrate video coding and it improves not only the subjective quality but also coding efficiency by minimizing the blocking artifact. However, the H.264/AVC de-blocking filter that strong filtering is performed is not suitable in a high definition video coding which occurs relatively low blocking artifact. Also, the conventional de-blocking filter has high computational complexity in decoder side. The computational complexity of the proposed method is reduced about maximum 8.8% than conventional method. Furthermore, the coding efficiency of the proposed method is about maximum 7.3% better than H.264/AVC de-blocking filter.

초저속 전송 통신망에서 비디오 전송을 효율적으로 하기 위한 시스템은 낮은 비디오 전송율에서 높은 압축율을 갖는 부호화 방법들이 사용된다. 현재 저속 통신을 위한 부호화 표준으로 대표적인 ITU-T의 H.263은 DCT기반이므로 낮은 비트율에서 블록화 현상이 발생한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 다중 가중 인자를 이용한 SPIHT 비디오 부호기는 H.263에 비하여 동영상의 PSNR이 우수한 성능을 보였고 기존 SPIHT 비디오 부호기보다도 PSNR이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Recently, as one of low complexity video encoding methods, DVC (Distributed Video Coding) scheme has been actively studied. Most of DVC schemes exploit feedback channel to achieve better coding performances, however, this causes these schemes to have high decoding delay. In order to overcome these, this paper proposes a new fast DVC decoding method using parity-bit request model, which can be obtained by using bit-error rate, sent by encoder with motion vector, which is transmitted through feedback channel by decoder after generating side information. Through several simulations, it is shown that the proposed method improves greatly the decoding speed, compared to the conventional schemes.

A conventional CBR channel is now capable of delivering several digitally compressed video programs due to recent advances in video compression, such as MPEG-2, and digital transmission technology. This paper presents a joint video coding scheme that is to maintain a constant sum of bit rates for all the programs but to allow the variable bit rate for individual program in the transimission environment mentioned above. Thus advantages of VBR video compression can be obtained. This paper contributes in two aspects. First, a rate-distortion estimation method for MPEG-2 video is proposed, which enavle us predict the amount of bits and the distortion generated from an encoded picture at a given quantization step size and vice versa. The most attractive features of the proposed rate-distortion estimation method are its accuracy and a computational complexity low enough to be applied to real-time video coding applications. Second, this paper presents an efficient and accurate joint rate control scheme using the rate-distortion estimation results and verifies its performance with experiments. The experimental results show that our coding scheme gives a significant gain even though a small number of video programs are coded jointly. For example, a stable picture quality is maintained among the video programs as well as within a program, and additional extra programs can be transmitted over the same channel bandwidth if the proposed joint video coding scheme is used.

본 논문에서는 소프트웨어 기반의 실시간 MPEG겨 비디오 부호화기를 제안하였다. MPEG 에서 제공하는 MPEG-4 참조 소프트웨어 비디오 부호화기는 여러 가지 기능이 혼합되어 있는 복잡한 구조를 가지고 있기 때문에 실시간으로 부호화하는 데 많은 어려움이 있다. 이를 PC에서 실시간으로 부호화할 수 있도록 목표를 심플 프로파일로 제한하여 이에 맞도록 구조를 수정하고, 고속 움직임 벡터 예측 알고리즘을 사용하여 움직임 예측시의 계산량을 줄였으며, 실시간으로 부호화할 시에 많은 부하를 주는 부분인 DCT, 움직임 예측 및 보상, 보간 부분을 MMX(MultiMedia Extention) 방법으로 구현하여 계산량과 부하를 줄임으로써 보다 향상된 성능을 제공한다. 기존 부호화기의 부호화 시의 복잡성을 감소시키고 윈도우 환경에서 간단한 조작만으로 부호화를 할 수 있도록 하였다.

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.

In this paper, we propose an efficient motion prediction architecture and DPB design mechanism for scalable multi-view video coding which is implemented by integrating SVC and MVC coding algorithms. In the proposed motion prediction architecture, we employ pictures associated with other views as a candidate for reference picture for improved motion prediction performance. By the proposed prediction architecture, we could enormously reduce the size of compressed video data. When performing scalable multi-view video coding, an integrated DPB design mechanism is also proposed. It is shown by various simulations that the proposed motion prediction architecture for scalable multi-view video coding can result in reduced data size in the compressed bitstream.
