본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 데이터의 MPEG-1 비디오 데이터 정보 중 인트라 모드로 부호화된 매크로블록(macroblock) 타입 개수를 이용하여 후보 컷(cut)을 검출한다. 이렇게 검출된 후보 컷은 이전에 검출된 후보 컷과의 히스토그램 차와 화소 특징값의 분산값과 평균간을 이용하여 카메라 브레이크(camera break)와 같은 일반적인 장면전환(abrupt scene change)뿐만 아니라 커튼효과(curtaining effect)나 페이딩효과(fading effect)와 같은 점진적인 장면전환(gradual scene change)을 검출하는 방법을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 보인다.

본 논문은 딥러닝을 이용하여 예측 블록을 개선하는 화면 내 예측 기법을 제안한다. 컨볼루션 신경망 네트워크로부터 기존의 VVC의 화면 내 예측 모드를 통해 구성한 예측 블록과 주변 참조 샘플을 통과하여 보다 원본에 가까운 예측 블록을 생성한다. 따라서 예측 후 신호는 원본 블록과의 차분 신호를 줄여 비디오 부호화 성능을 향상하게 된다. 실험 결과, VTM-10.0 대비 휘도성분에 대해 약 1.16%의 BD-rate을 개선하였다.

에러 발생율이 높은 이동 통신 채널 환경에서는 부호화된 비디오 스트림 전송시 발생된 채널 에러는 비디오 화질에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 H.263 부/복호화기에서 전송도중 에러가 발생했을 경우 추가적인 데이터 삽입 없이 효율적으로 에러를 은닉할 수 있는 기법에 관하여 제안하였다. 특히, 영상신호는 대개 인트라 픽쳐와 인터 픽쳐로 크게 구분되는데, 이들 중 부호화된 스트림에서 발생빈도가 놀은 인터 픽쳐에 대한 오류은닉을 우선적으로 목표로 하였다. 인터 프레임 픽쳐에서 DFD나 움직임벡터 손실시, 정확히 복원된 손실된 매크로블럭에 인접한 주변 픽셀 4*4을 이용해서 이전픽쳐에서 움직임벡터을 추정하고, 추정된 움직임 벡터을 가지고 손실된 매크로블록을 복원한다. 이때 주변블럭의 움직임벡터 추정시 소요되는 계산량은 충분히 디코더측에서 수용한다는 전제하에서 실험하였다.

The emerging H.264/AVC video coding standard improves coding performance significantly by adopting many advanced techniques. This is achieved at the expense of great increasing encoder complexity. Specifically the intra prediction using RDO examines all possible combinations of coding modes, which depend on spatial directional correlation with adjacent blocks. For 4${\times}$4 luma blocks, there are 9 modes, and for 16${\times}$16 luma and 8${\times}$8 chroma blocks, there are 4 modes, respectively. Therefore the number of mode combinations for each macroblock is 592. This paper presents a method to reduce the RDO complexity using simple directional masks and neighboring modes. According to the proposed method, we reduce the number of mode combinations to 132 at the most. Experimental results show the proposed method reduces the encoding time up to $70\%$ with negligible loss of PSNR and bitrate increase compared to the H.264/AVC exhaustive search.

High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) obtains high compression ratio by applying recursive quad-tree structured coding unit(CU). However, this recursive quad-tree structure brings very high computational complexity to HEVC encoder. In this paper, we present fast CU decision algorithm in recursive quad-tree structure. The proposed algorithm estimates initial CU size before CTU encoding and checks the proposed condition using Coded Block Flag(CBF) and Rate-distortion cost to achieve the fast encoding time saving. And, intra mode estimation is also possible to be skipped using the CBF values acquired during the inter PU mode estimations. Experiment results shows that the proposed algorithm saved about 49.91% and 37.97% of encoding time according to the weighting condition.

A new lossless intra coding method based on residual transform is applied to the next generation video coding standard HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding). HEVC includes a multi-directional spatial prediction method to reduce spatial redundancy by using neighboring samples as a prediction for the samples in a block of data to be encoded. In the new lossless intra coding method, the spatial prediction is performed as samplewise DPCM (Difference Pulse Code Modulation) but is implemented as block-based manner by using residual transform and secondary residual transform on the HEVC standard. Experimental results show that the new lossless intra coding method reduces the bit rate by approximately 6.45% in comparison with the lossless intra coding method previously included in the HEVC standard.

A new modified lossless intra-coding method based on a cross residual transform is applied to HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding). The HEVC standard including a multi-directional spatial prediction method to reduce spatial redundancy encodes the pixels in a PU (Prediction Unit) by using neighboring pixels. In the new modified lossless intra-coding method, the spatial prediction is performed by pixel-based DPCM but is implemented by block-based manner by using cross residual transform on the HEVC standard. The experimental results show that the new lossless intra-coding method reduces the bit rate of approximately 8.4% in comparison with the lossless-intra coding method in the HEVC standard and the proposed method results in slightly better compression ratio than the JPEG2000 lossless coding.

The intra prediction technique is the one of the key factors to the success of H.264. There are nine optional prediction modes for each $4{\times}4$ luma block and 4 modes for each $16{\times}16$ luma block. To reduce the intra mode bits efficiently, the most probable mode (MPM) is estimated by using the intra modes of the adjacent blocks, since intra modes for neighboring $4{\times}4$ luma blocks are correlated. In this paper, a new method for estimating the MPM is proposed by using the statistical distribution of intra modes of adjacent intra blocks. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve a coding gain of about 0.1dB.

H.264/AVC is the newest international video coding standard developed by the joint ITU-T and ISO/IEC standards organizations. This newest video coding standard offers much higher coding efficiency than the H.261, H.263 and MPEG-4. But it has high computing complexity and high H/W resources wasting problem. This paper described the two unit parallel pipeline structure. This new structure comparing with standard model decreased the computing complexity of 67% and the H/W resources waste of 3%.

EThe digitalized image information has various resolution, and it has been developed for several technologies to resize image depending on user's requests and applications. Recently the algorithm using edge information for good image/video quality on up-sampling was introduced, and the pre-processing procedure is required for edge extraction. Than, the predicted direction in intra prediction used in H.264/AVC has the similarity up to 80% for the edge information, so I propose the image up-sampling method using edge information. In proposed method, the image quality is similar to result of adapting n'th kernel. and the method reduces the number of calculation by about 50%.
