Motion compensation is a powerful method to compress an image sequence. Its main drawback is that once an error is occurred, the error propagates through the frames. Recently, the intra update method was proposed to stop the error propagation at the expense of reduction in compression efficiency. This paper proposes an intra update method based on a rate-distortion optimization in error prone environments. The rate and the distortion are estimated using the Lagrangian optimization to select the coding mode and the quantization step size. The proposed method is applied to MPEG-4 codec, and the experimental results show that it is robust to the error such as packet losses comparing with the conventional ones.

H.264/AVC enhances inter-frame coding performance adopting new intra and inter mode prediction in inter-frame motion prediction. H.264 encoder provides performance superior to existing standards with the prediction modes. Instead of enhanced performance, however, both predictions increase complexity of encoder and demand a lot of coding time. This paper proposes a method using local statistics of resultant intra mode, my and mode map to predict inter mode. There are relationship between intra and inter mode, and we can predict inter mode using neighboring macroblocks' resultant mode and motion vector according to the contents of frame. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm reduces encoding time by 31% on average with a negligible loss of PSNR and bitrate.

This paper is made up Advanced Image Coding(AIC) that combines algorithms from next generation image coding standard, H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 advanced video coding(AVC) and still image compression standard, JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group). AIC combines intra frame block prediction from H.264 with a JPEG style discrete cosine transform and quantization, followed by Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding(CABAC) as used in H.264. In this paper, we analyzes the efficiency of the AIC algorithm and JPEG and JPEG-2000, and it presents of result.

For the improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264/AVC video coding standard employs new coding tools compared with existing coding standards. However, due to these new coding tools, the complexity of K264/AVC standard encoder is greatly increased. Specifically, the inter/intra mode decision method using RDO(rate-distortion optimization) technique is one of the most complex parts in H.264/AVC. In this paper, we focus on the complexity reduction in macroblock mode decision. In the proposed method, we reduce the complexity of the $4{\times}4$ mode decision process using $4{\times}4$ simple square filters, and using spatial block correlation method. Additionally, exploiting the best mode of sub_macroblock in $Inter8{\times}8$ mode, we proposed an algorithm to eliminate some intra modes in current macroblock mode decision process. In addition, we employed a method to raise the probability to select SKIP, $Intra16{\times}16$, and $Intra16{\times}16$ modes which usually show low complexity and low bitrate compared with other modes. From the simulation results, the proposed algorithm reduce the encoding time by maximum 83% of total, and reduce the bitrate of the overall sequences by $8{\sim}10%$ on the average compared with existing coding methods.

In this paper, we propose a layered video coding scheme which can generate multi-layered bitstream for heterogeneous environments. A new motion prediction structure with temporal hierarchy of frames is developed to afford temporal resolution scalability and the wavelet decomposition is adopted to offer spatial acalability. The proposed scheme can have a higher compression ratio than replenishment schemes by using motion estimation and compensation which can further reduce the temporal redundancy, and it effectively works with dynamic adaption or errors using dispersive intra-subband update (DISU). Moreover, data rate scalability can be attained by employing embeded zerotree wavelet (EZW) technique which can produce embeded bitstream. Therefore, the proposed scheme is expected to be effectively used in heterogeneous environments such as the Internet, ATM, and mobile networks where interoperability are required.

한국의 DMB 서비스는 이미 대중화되어 많은 이용자들이 편리하게 이용하고 있으나, 송출되는 DMB 컨텐츠의 해상도에 비해 현재 대부분의 디스플레이 장치들은 더 높은 해상도를 지원하고 있으며 따라서 다양한 방법의 영상 재표본화 기술을 채용하고 있다. 특히 휴대용 장비의 경우 연산량 문제로 저품질의 영상을 제공하게 되고 따라서 이용자들의 만족도가 떨어지게 되었다. 일반적으로 주관적인 영상의 품질은 영상 내 개체에 대한 인식률에 따라 결정되며 에지에서의 개체 간 구분이 명확할수록 증가한다. 본 연구에서는 H.264 동영상 부호화 방법에서 사용되는 인트라 예측 정보와 Total Coefficient 정보를 이용하여 에지 정보를 추출하고 이에 따라 선택적으로 보간법을 적용하여 최대한 연산량을 줄이면서 선명함을 유지할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

The amount of digitalized contents has been rapidly increased, but the main distribution channel of them is Internet which is easily accessible. Therefore 'security' necessarily arises as one of the most important issues and the method of protecting contents becomes a major research topic as much as data coding techniques. In recent years, many developers have studied on techniques that allow only authorized person to access contents. Among them the scrambling method is one of well-known security techniques. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective digital video scrambling method which utilizes the intra block properties of a recent video coding technique, H.264. Since intra prediction modes are adopted in H.264 standard, it is easy to scramble a video sequence with modification of the intra prediction modes. In addition to its simplicity, the proposed method does not increase bit rate after scrambling. The inter blocks are also distorted by scrambling intra blocks only. This paper introduces a new digital video scrambling method and verifies its effectiveness through simulation.

In this paper, we significantly reduces the amount of computation for intra 16$\times$16 mode decision in H.264 by applying the fast algorithm, which obtains the transformed prediction residual with fewer computations. By extending the existing intra 4$\times$4 mode decision, we propose the new algorithm for fast intra 16$\times$16 mode decision. The proposed algorithm uses partial transform coefficients which consist of one DC and three adjacent AC coefficients after 4$\times$4 transform in the intra 16$\times$16 mode decision. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce computations up to 50% in the intra 16$\times$16 mode decision process with unnoticeable degradation.
