날이 갈수록 빨라지는 IT분야의 발달로 최근 정보 통신망, 핸드폰, 컴퓨터 등의 발달과 함께 시간과 장소에 상관없이 빠르게 동영상 수요가 급증 하고 있다. 급증하고 있는 동영상 수요에 맞춰 고품질의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 압축 부호화 기술이 필수적이다. 이와 같은 흐름에 따라 표준화 기관인 ITU-T, ISO/IEC는 2013년 초, 최신 압축 부호화 기술인 HEVC를 제정하였다. HEVC에서는 이전 표준과 비교하여 다양한 부호화 기술이 포함되었는데 그 중 화면 내 예측 기술에서는 35가지 모드 중에서 최적의 모드를 결정하여 예측 블록을 더욱 정밀하게 생성한다. 이때, 색차 성분의 화면 내 예측 모드는 휘도 성분의 예측 모드와는 달리, 고정된 5개의 모드만 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 5개 모드의 번호를 통계적 특성을 이용하여 새롭게 모드 번호를 할당하는 실험을 수행하고 결과를 분석한 후, 향후 연구 방향을 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose an intra-picture prediction method by a quadratic surface modeling method for depth video coding. The pixels of depth video are transformed to 3D coordinates using distance information. A quadratic surface with the smallest error is found by least square method for reference pixels. The reference pixel can be either the upper pixels or the left pixels. In the intra prediction using the quadratic surface, two predcition values are computed for one pixel. Two errors are computed as the square sums of differences between each prediction values and the pixel values of the reference pixels. The pixel sof the block are predicted by the reference pixels and prediction method that they have the lowest error. Comparing with the-state-of-art video coding method, simulation results show that the distortion and the bit rate are improved by up to 5.16% and 5.12%, respectively.

In this paper, we present a improved rate distortion optimization (RDO) for H.264 intra coding. By using new mode decision criteria pass for $I4{\times}4$ in company with the original RDO, the proposed method can achieve the better coding efficiency comparing with the original RDO. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can archive about $0.64{\sim}1.6578%$ bit rate decrease at the same PSNR and $0.049{\sim}0.101dB$ PSNR increase at the same bit rate.

In this paper, we propose an efficient requantization method for INTRA frames in heterogeneous transcoding from MPEG-1 to MPEG-4 simple profile. The quantizer for MPEG-1 INTRA MB usually uses a quantization weighting matrix while the quantizer for MPEG-4 simple profile doesn't. As a result, the quantization step sizes of the two quantizers may not be the same even for the same quantization parameter. Due to this mismatch in the quantization step site, the transcoded MPEG-4 sequence suffers from serious quality degradation and the number of bits produced by transcoding increases from the original MPEG-1 video sequence. To solve these problems, we propose an efficient method to find a near-optimum reconstruction level in the transcoder. We also present a PDF (probability distribution function) estimation method for the original DCT coefficients of MPEG-1 video sequence, which is required for the proposed requantization. Experimental results show that the proposed method gives $0.3{\sim}0.6dB$ improvement in PSNR over the conventional method, even at the reduced bit-rate about $5{\sim}7%$ from the conventional method.

JCT-VC (Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding) continues developing HEVC/Screen Content Coding (HEVC/SCC) as an extension for efficiently coding screen content videos, including computer animations, graphics, and electrical documents, based on HEVC/Range extension (HEVC/RExt.). Color space conversion from RGB space being captured from CCD sensors is popular in natural video coding. However, the conversion is often undesired for screen contents because of a significant loss in perceptual quality. Therefore, several coding tools including cross-component prediction (CCP) and in-loop adaptive color space transform (ACST) have been developed for an efficient screen content video coding in order to reduce the redundancies between color spaces while maintaining the original color space. In this paper, we review the two coding tools, i.e., CCP and ACST exploiting the correlation in the RGB color space and conduct the performance analysis of the coding tools. In our simulation results, CCP and ACST provide 11.7% BD-rate saving and 16.4% BD-rate saving, respectively, while the two coding tools provide 18.2% BD-rate saving in total. Following this idea, if the two coding tools are exclusively selected, we provide 93% encoding measurement time with a 0.3% coding loss.

웨이블릿을 이용한 분해와 복원은 영상의 압축에 널리 사용되는 도구이다. 웨이블릿 분해된자연 영상은 원 영상의 동일 부분을 표현하는 대역간의 계수 값 사이에 높은 상관관계를 갖고 있고, 하나의 대역 안의 인접한 계수들 사이에도 높은 상관 관계를 갖고 있다. EZW(Evbedded Zerotree Wavelet)나 SPIHT(Set Partitioning in Hierachical Trees)과 같이 성능이 우수하고 널리 사용되는 웨이블릿 기반 영상 압축은 웨이블릿 계수의 대역간 상관 관계를 이용하고 있다. Zero Tree에 기초한 이와 같은 방법들은 계수값의 부모 후손 관계를 이용하기 때문에 대역별 부호화를 수행할 수 없으며, 다중 해상도 복원이 필요한 응용 분야에 효과적으로 적용되어지지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 하나의 대역 내에서 인접한 계수들 간의 상관성을 이용한 대역 독립적 부호화 기법을 제안한다. 압축 성능은 SPIHT과 대등하거나 약간 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 다중해상도 복원에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The Depth Picture can be Encoded by the Plane Coding Mode that is the Method for Coding Mode by Considering a Part of the Picture as the Plane. In this Paper, we Propose the Method of Determining the Variable-sized Block for Variable Block Coding in the Plane Coding Mode for the Depth Picture. The Depth Picture Can be Encoded in the Plane Coding Through Estimating the Plane Which is Close to Pixels in the Block Using Depth Information. The Variable-sized Block Coding in the Plane Coding can be Applied as Follows. It Calculates the Prediction Error between Predicted Depths by the Plane Estimation and the Measured Depths. If Prediction Error is Below the Threshold, the Block is Encoded by Current Size. Otherwise, it Divides the Block and Repeats Above. If the Block is Divided Below the Minimum Size, the Block is not Encoded by the Plane Coding Mode. The Result of the Simulation of the Proposed Method Shows that the Number of Encoded Block is Reduced to 19% as Compared with the Method Using the Fixed-sized Block in the Depth Picture Composed of one Plane.

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 propose a new pre-processing algorithm applied to depth map to improve the coding efficiency. Now, 3DV/FTV group in the MPEG is working for standard of 3DVC(3D video coding), but compression method for depth map images are not confirmed yet. In the proposed algorithm, after dividing the histogram distribution of a given depth map by EM clustering method based on GMM, we classify the depth map into several layered images. Then, we apply different mean shift filter to each classified image according to the existence of background or foreground in it. In other words, we try to maximize the coding efficiency while keeping the boundary of each object and taking average operation toward inner field of the boundary. The experiments are performed with many test images and the results show that the proposed algorithm achieves bits reduction of 19% ~ 20% and computation time is also reduced.
