In H.264, 7 modes {16${\times}$16, 16${\times}$8, 8${\times}$16, 8${\times}$8, 8${\times}$4, 4${\times}$8, 4${\times}$4) are used to enhance the coding efficiency. The motion vector estimation with 7 modes may require huge computing time. In this paper, to speed up the motion vector estimation procedure while the high image quality remains, we propose a motion vector refinement scheme using the temporary motion vector generated with little computation. The proposed estimation process consists of three phases: Mode decision for a 16${\times}$16 macroblock, Composing a temporary motion vector, Refinement of the temporary motion vector. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by computer simulation. In the results, the encoding time consumed by the proposed scheme has been reduced significantly while the encoded video quality remains unchanged.

A procedure for determining the lateral load pattern for pushover analysis which includes higher mode effects is presented in this study. It is well-known that the details of future earthquakes at particular site is almost impossible to predict accurately and that the code-design spectra try to represent at least the average nature of probable future earthquakes. Thus the code-design spectrum is directly used as the input earthquakes in this paper when incorporating higher mode effects in the pushover analysis so that the efforts for selecting input motions and constructing response spectrum needed in some existing method could be avoided. A case study based on the time history analysis of a irregular steel moment frame showed that the procedure proposed in this study generally outperforms various pushover analysis procedures of ATC-40 and FEMA 273. However, the proposed procedure tended to be conservative as compared with the time history analysis method.

본 논문에서는 전장부품에서 중요한 연결 장치인 커넥터의 고장 모드를 분석하기 위한 방법으로 HALT(Highly Accelerated Life Test)를 이용해 관측된 고장 데이터를 기반으로 ReliaSoft사의 소프트웨어인 ALTA PRO를 이용하여 분석하고자 한다. 커넥터를 이루는 주재료는 플라스틱과 금속으로 구성되어 있어 습도에 대한 반응 보다 열 변화와 진동에 의해 고장이 발생 한다. 이러한 커넥터의 특성을 고려하여 HALT는 온도와 진동 스트레스를 이용한 복합 스트레스 시험을 실시하였다. HALT에 사용된 시료는 20핀 커넥터 5개로 74시간 동안 시험하였으며, 9개의 핀에서 부러지는 고장이 관측 되었다. 관측된 고장 데이터를 단일 스트레스에 의한 고장으로 분석하기위해 시험에 사용된 온도와 진동 스트레스를 개별 스트레스로 하여 ALTA PRO를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석을 위한 수명-스트레스관계식은 스텝 스트레스에 적합한 Cumulative Damage 선택하였으며 Likelihood Function을 이용 최적 분포는 Weibull 분포임을 확인하였다, ALTA Pro를 이용한 분석 결과 열에 대한 Mean Life는 2444.03 시간이며, 진동에 대한 Mean Life는 1784.27시간으로 진동에 대한 Mean Life가 659.76 시간만큼 작은 것을 확인 하였다. 고장 데이터를 이용한 수명 예측에서 Mean Life가 작다는 것은 스트레스에 의해 고장이 빠르게 발생 했다는 것을 의미한다. 가속수명시험을 통해 관측된 커넥터의 고장은 핀이 부러지는 현상이며, 고장에 대한 주요 원인으로 온도 스트레스 보다 Mean Life가 낮은 진동 스트레스인 것으로 판단된다.

Filter cache has been introduced as one solution of reducing cache power consumption. More than 50% of the power reduction results from the filter cache, whereas more than 20% of the performance is compromised. To minimize the performance degradation of the filter cache, the predictive filter cache has been proposed. In this paper, we review the previous filter cache predictors and analyze the problems of the solutions. As a result, we found main problems that cause prediction misses in previous filter cache schemes and, to resolve the problems, this paper proposes a new prediction policy. In our scheme, some reference bit entries, called MSBs, are inserted into filter cache and BTB, to adaptively control the filter cache access. In simulation parts, we use a modified SimpleScalar simulator with MiBench benchmark programs to verify the proposed filter cache. The simulation result shows in average 5% performance improvement, compared to previous ones.

무선 센서 네트워크에서 제안된 혼잡을 회피한 TDMA 기반의 MAC 프로토콜은 많은 노드에서 한꺼번에 전송할 데이터가 발생하더라도 중간에서 전달하는 노드가 타임슬롯을 소스 노드의 타임슬롯을 선택함으로써 혼잡에 의한 지연 없이 데이터를 BS(base station)으로 전달할 수 있다. 하지만, 데이터를 전달받기 위해서는 모든 타임슬롯에 걸쳐서 idle listening 을 수행하여야 하므로 에너지 소비가 크다. 본 논문은 혼잡을 회피한 TDMA 기반의 MAC 프로토콜로써 전원 제어 패킷(power control packet)을 이용하여 데이터의 전달을 이웃 노드에게 예측할 수 있도록 함으로써 노드들로 하여금 수면 모드로의 전환이 가능하게 되어 각 노드의 에너지가 절감된다.

In this paper, we proposed a dynamic selection scheme of advnaced prediction mode(DAPM), which reduces computational cost and improves coding efficiency. We can select the mode between default prediction mode (DPM) and advanced prediction mode (APM) according to motion componenets in a frame dynamically. For this purpose, we defined error distribution of motion estimation (EDME) as sum of absolute difference(SAD) for each searching points. This distribution region is divided to four subregions. We calculate minimum values in each subregions and then, we determine whether block motion estimation is performed or not depending on the results. As a result, we reduced computational complexity to 30% without degradation of image quality compared to fixed APM(FAPM) by selecting DPM for linear movement.

Currently, H.264/AVC is used in many multimedia applications. Also, The MPEG-2 main profile which supports B pictures for bi-directional motion prediction is widely used in applications such as HDTV and DVD’s. Therefore, transcoding the MPEG-2 main profile to the H.264/AVC baseline is necessary for universal multimedia access. In this transcoding architecture including the GOP structure conversion, the proposed algorithms adopt the adaptive search range selection through the linearity test of a predictive motion vector and adaptive mode selection using the reference region complexity information. The proposed algorithms extremely reduce the computational complexity while maintaining the video quality.

Small area and low power implementation are important requirements for various multimedia processing hardware, especially for mobile environment. This paper presents a hardware architecture of H.264/AVC Intra Prediction module aiming on small area and low power. A single arithmetic unit was shared and processed sequentially for all mode decisions and computations to predict an image frame. As a result, we could get smaller area and smaller memory size compared to other existing implementations. The proposed architecture was verified using the Altera Excalibur device, and the implemented hardware has been described in Verilog-HDL and synthesized on Samsung STD130 0.18um CMOS Standard Cell Library using Synopsys Design Compiler. The synthesis result was about 11.9K logic gates and 1078 byte internal SRAM and the maximum operating frequency was 107Mhz. It consumes 879,617 clocks to process one QCIF frame, which means it can process 121.5 QCIF$(176\times144)$ frames per second, therefore it shows that it can be used for real time H.264/AVC encoding of various multimedia applications.
