본 논문에서는 광원 정보를 사용하여 다양한 재생환경에서 효과적인 홀로그래픽 비디오 서비스를 제공하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법에서 부호화 과정에서는 가우시안 블러를 적용한 영상의 개수를 조절, 분리 하고 다운 샘플링 한 하나의 영상 압축을 한 뒤 전송한다. 이 영상을 다운 샘플링, 업 샘플링, 보간법, 양방향 필터 (Bi-lateral filter) 등의 기법을 이용하여 획득한 영상과 나머지 영상을 다운 샘플링과 업 샘플링 하여 더한 영상의 차를 압축하여 수신측으로 전송한다. 복호화 과정에서는 압축된 광원 정보를 복원한 후 기본계층 정보를 가진 영상을 업 샘플링과 보간법, 양방향 필터 (Bi-lateral filter) 등의 기법을 적용하고 수신자의 환경과 고려에 따라 차영상을 더 한 후 CGH를 통해 홀로그램을 획득하였다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존의 방법들 보다 우수한 홀로그램을 복원 할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

In the scalable extension of H.264/AVC, spatial scalability is provided residual information as encoding layered spatial resolution between layers. We use the inter-layer prediction to remove this redundancy. In the inter-layer prediction, as the prediction we can use the signal that is the upsampled signal of the lower resolution layer. In this case, coding efficiency can be different from optimal prediction by kinds of interpolation filter. This paper indicates technique to choose the interpolation filter and to enhance coding efficiency for finding more correct prediction in intra macroblock.

This paper presents a brief overview of scalable video coding (SVC) with a focus on spatial scalability and its application to Advanced Terrestrial-DMB (AT-DMB). By adopting SVC with two spatial-layers and hierarchical modulation, AT-DMB provides standard definition (SD)-level video while maintaining compatability with the existing CIF-level video. In this paper, we suggest a layer-configuration and coding parameters of SVC which are well suit for an AT-DMB system. In order to reduce extremely large encoding time resulted by an exhaustive search of a macroblock coding mode in spatial scalability, we propose a fast mode decision method which excludes redundant modes in each layer. It utilizes the mode distribution of each layer and their correlations. Experimental results show that a simplified encoding model with the method reduces the computational complexity significantly with negligible coding loss.

In this paper, the efficient motion estimation and compensation method for 3 dimensional wavelet transform is proposed. Recently, since the compression performance and scalable functionality are provided by wavelet transform, many researches have been carried out for applying to the video compression. For the temporal filtering, motion estimation and compensation techniques are used, but the unconnected pixels, which are produced by motion compensation result into the degradation of coding performance and quality of the picture. For the efficient motion compensated temporal filtering by reducing the number of these unconnected pixels, we propose the variable block size motion estimation and compensation method. Also we propose a method that determines the block size using rate-distortion optimization technique according to the local characteristics of the frame. The simulation results show the improved performances than the MPEG-4 scalable coding methods and the 3 dimensional wavelet coding methods using fixed block size motion estimation and compensation.

SVC(Scalable Video Coding)는 다양한 장치와 변화하기 쉬운 대역폭을 가지는 네트워크 환경에서 만족할 수 있는 스트리밍 환경을 제공하기 위해서 디자인되었지만, 본 논문에서는 SVC를 간단하면서도 효율적으로 채널 변경시간을 감소시킬 수 있도록 IPTV시스템에 응용하였다. 제안하는 시스템에서는 IPTV 헤드엔드와 LHR(Last Hop Router)사이의 네트워크 대역폭 일부분에 SVC 기본 계층으로 압축된 채널들을 정적 채널에 할당한다. 따라서 사용자가 정적 채널에 속하는 채널을 선택하면 짧은 네트워크 지연 시간 이내에 기본 계층을 전송 받아 동영상을 볼 수 있으며, 곧바로 향상 계층을 전송 받아 사용자는 정상 품질의 영상을 시청할 수 있다.

MPEG-4 Part 2 에서 표준으로 채택된 FGS (fine granularity scalability) 코딩 기법은 전송 선로의 상태가 급변하는 경우에도 주어진 대역폭에서 최적의 화질 향상을 얻을 수 있도록 설계된 망 상태에 적응적인 스케일러블 비디오 코딩 기법이다 [1][2][9]. 본 논문에서는 기존의 FGS 향상 계층에서 영상의 잔여 신호를 다시 한 번 bit-plane 코딩을 해줌으로써 화질 확장성을 더 높인 Advanced FGS 코딩 구조를 제안하였다. 본 논문의 실험에서는 기존의 MPEG-4 VM (verification model)에서 사용된 FGS 코딩과의 비교를 통해 Advanced FGS 구조의 화질 확장성을 평가하였다. 비교는 두 부호화 기술의 PSNR 값의 분석으로 이루어졌고, 결과를 통해 Advanced FGS 구조가 고화질을 가지며, 화질 확장성이 더 높은 구조임을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a scalable coding method for high dynamic range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR) videos based on Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC). The proposed method has multi-layer coding architecture that consists of base layer for SDR videos and enhancement layer for HDR videos to support the backward compatibility with legacy codec and display devices. Also, to improve coding efficiency of enhancement layers, a global inverse tone mapping is applied to the reconstructed SDR video and the compensated frames are referred for coding of the enhancement layer. The proposed method is found to achieve BD-Rate gain of 43.0% on average (maximum 76.3%) for the enhancement layer and 15.7% on average (maximum 31%) for dual-layer against the SHM 7.0 reference software.

This paper presents the SVC(Scalable Video Coding) scheme which enables the AT-DMB(Advanced Terrestrial-DMB) video service in enhancement layer, while keeping the current T-DMB video service in base layer. But, it is very complicate to implement the SVC encoder and so it is necessary to analyze the complexity and performance for SVC encoder#s structures and coding parameters. In this paper, through computer simulations, SVC coding parameters are tested and then, based on these results, three types of SVC encoder models are compared from the viewpoint of the complexity and performance.

SVC is an emerging video coding standard as an extension of H.264/AVC. This standard uses inter prediction, intra prediction and a new inter-layer prediction to improve coding performance of enhancement layers. However, it has high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose an efficient intra prediction mode decision method in the spatial enhancement layer to reduce the computational complexity. The proposed method consists of two phases. In the first phase, Intra_BL mode is selected using the RD cost of Intra_BL in advance. We exploit the fact that the RD cost and prediction mode are similar to those of neighbor macroblocks. In the second phase, we predict the enhancement layer mode using correlation between intra mode of enhancement layer and that of the base layer. Experimental results show that the proposed method could save from 48.15% to 56.32% in encoding time while degradation in video quality is negligible.

In this paper, we propose base layer repetition and HARQ schemes for improving the reliability and the performances of H.264 SVC video transmission in a wireless channel, and investigate its performances. The proposed method may solve the problems of transmission delay as well as the scarcity of wireless resources, since the proposed scheme was applied for only base layer, not for enhancement layer. The numerical results show that the proposed scheme can enhance the BER performance of $1.5{\times}10^{-5}$ and the FER of $1.2{\times}10^{-3}$, when SNR=3.4dB. Also, it was confirmed through the resultant images that the proposed method can improve the SVC performance in the wireless link.
