In order to allow the user to efficiently browse, select, and retrieve a desired video part without having to deal directly with GBytes of compressed data, classification of shot motion characteristic has to be carried out as a preparation for such user interaction. The organization of video information for video database requires segmentation of a video into its constituent shots and their subsequent characterization in terms of content and camera movement in shot. In order to classify shot motion, it is a conventional way to use element of motion vector. However, there is a limit to estimate global camera motion because the way that uses motion vectors only represents local movement. For shot classification in terms of motion information, we propose a new scheme consisting of partial decoding of INTRA pictures and comparing the x, y displacement vector curve between the decoded I-frame and next P-frame in compressed video data.

For the improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264 standard uses new coding tools such as VBS, 1/4-pel accurate ME, multiple references, intra prediction, loop filter, etc. Using these coding tools, H.264 has achieved significant improvements from rate-distortion point of view compared to existing standards. However, the encoder complexity is greatly increased due to these coding tools. We focus on the complexity reduction method of MB mode selection. Among all modes which can be selected, $8{\times}8$ and intra $4{\times}4$ mode have higher complexity than the others. So we propose the methods for reduction of the $8{\times}8$ and intra $4{\times}4$ mode complexity by using information of other modes with relatively low complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed methods save up to $54.6{\%}$ of total encoding time while keeping the average decrease about 0.012dB in PSNR.

H.264 is the prominent video coding standard in various applications such as real-time streaming and digital multimedia broadcasting, since it provides enhanced compression performance, error resilience tools, and network adaptation. Compression efficiency of H.264 has been improved, however, it requires more computing and memory access than traditional methods. In this paper we proposed adaptive intra fast algorithm for real-time video surveillance system reducing the encoding complexity of H264/A VC. For this aim, temporal interrelationship between macroblock in the previous and the current frame is used to decide the encoding mode of macroblock fast. As a result, though video quality was deteriorated a little, less than 0.04dB, and bit rate was somewhat increased in suggested method, however, proposed method improved encoding time significantly and, in particular, encoding time of an image with little changes of neighboring background such as surveillance video was more shortened than traditional methods.

스케일러블 비디오 코딩은 레이어간 예측 기능을 이용하여 시뮬케스트 코딩에 비해 코딩 효율을 높인다. 하지만 스케일러블 비디오 코딩의 레이어간 예측으로는, 인트라 픽셀(inta pixel). 모션 정보(motion vector information), 레지듀얼(residual)등의 예측이 수행되는데, 이는 많은 계산 시간을 소요하게 되며, 시뮬케스트에 비해 코딩 시간이 증가하게 된다. 특히 인코더의 경우, 가장 최적의 모드를 선택하기 위하여, 기존 H.264 AVC에서 사용하는 예측을 수행한 뒤, 부가적으로 스케일러블 비디오 코딩의 레이어간 예측을 수행하기 때문에, 하나의 영상이 많은 레이어를 포함할수록 인코딩에 의한 계산부하가 매우 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해, 멀티 코어 이용하여 레이어별로 병렬처리가 가능하도록 하는 스케일러블 비디오 인코더의 구조를 제안한다. 이로써 하나의 영상이 포함하는 레이어의 수가 증가함에 따라 발생하는 인코딩 계산 부하를 줄이도록 하였다. 그리하여 본 논문에서 제안하는 구조를 적용하였을 때, 2개의 공간영역으로의 스케일러빌리티를 가지는 영상들에 대해서는 평균 24.8%의 속도가 향상되었고, 1개의 공간영역과 1개의 화질 영역으로의 스케일러빌리티를 가지는 영상들에 대해서는 평균 82%의 속도 향상을 보였다.

In this paper, we present a method to reduce complexity of depth modeling modes (DMM) that are used in the current 3D-HEVC standardization. DMM adds four modes to the existing HEVC intra prediction modes for accurate object edge representation in the depth map. Especially, Mode 3 requires distortion calculation of numerous pre-defined wedgelets, inducing high complexity. The proposed method employs absolute differences of neighboring pixels in the sides of the reference block to find high intensity changing positions. Based on such positions, the number of wedgelet candidates is reduced to six and distortion calculation is skipped for irrelevant wedgelets. Experimental results show complexity reduction by 3.1% on average, while maintaining similar coding performance.

Compressed video bitstreams are intended for real-time transmission over communication networks. Because video compression algorithms eliminate the temporal, spatial, and statistical redundancies, the coded video bitstreams are very sensitive to transmission errors. We propose an error resilient video coding technique to limit the effect of error propagation in low bit-rate video coding. The success of error resilient coding techniques relies on how accurately the transmission errors can be detected. To detect the transmission error, we propose a very simple error detection technique based on data hiding Next, we conceal the corrupted MB data using intra MB refresh and motion compensation with the estimated motion vector and compare the simulation results. This method will be useful in video communication in error Prone environment such as WCDMA networks.

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%.

Recently, thumbnail techniques are required to index a high-performance video at digital convergence-based multimedia service like IPTV and DMB. Therefore a thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC bitstreams has been proposed. However, thumbnail quality deterioration problem at converting the general equation of spatial domain to frequency domain which is generated by not considering about H.264/AVC transform and quantization processing and rounding-off operation in intra prediction. In this paper, we propose a new thumbnail extraction method in H.264/AVC bitstreams. The proposed scheme is based on H.264/AVC core-transform for a thumbnail extraction in frequency domain, and probability theory, intra rounding-off error compensation. Through the implementation and performance evaluation, the subjective quality difference between the output of our scheme and the output of reference decoder is negligible and better than the conventional method, and moreover PSNR gain by up to 8.66 dB.

H.264/AVC는 최신의 국제 비디오 압축 표준으로 가변블록크기 지원, 다중 참조 프레임 움직임 보상 등의 기법으로 이전의 압축 표준인 MPEG-4, H.263등에 비해 비슷한 화질에서 비트율을 거의 50%정도 줄였다. 이러한 기법들로 압축 효율성이 높아진 반면, 계산 복잡도는 증가하게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터 예측인 MVP를 이용하여 시간적 상관성을 고려하고 프레임 내의 주위 매크로블록 모드정보에 가중치를 부여하여 부호화를 매크로블록의 최종 모드를 빠르게 선택하는 기법을 제안한다. 실험에서 JM10.2의 모드 선택기법과 비교한 결과, 평균 85%이상 선택한 모드가 동일함을 보여주었다.
