본 논문에서는 움직임 보상 차영상 ( motion compensated difference image; MCDI)을 대역 분할한 뒤, 움직임 정보를 이용하여 에너지가 큰 부분만을 선택하여 적응적으로 벡터 양자화를 행함으로써 효율적으로 동영상을 부호화 할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 기법에서는 MCDI의 특성들을 고려하여 에너지가 낮은 부분은 부호화를 행하지 않고, 에너지가 높은 부분에 대하여서만 움직임 벡터의 크기에 따라 클래스를 분류한 뒤 각 클래스에 맞는 코드북을 설계하여 벡터 양자화를 행한다. 이를 위해서는 부호화 되는 에너지가 높은 부분에 대한 정보와 클래스 부분에 대한 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 부가 정보의 양을 움직임 벡터를 이용하여 최소화함으로써 비트율을 크게 줄이면서도 우수한 화질의 복원 영상을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper. we propose an effective compensation scheme to the quantization error arisen from quantized learning in a machine learning on an embedded system. In the machine learning based on a gradient descent or nonlinear signal processing, the quantization error generates early vanishing of a gradient and occurs the degradation of learning performance. To compensate such quantization error, we derive an orthogonal compensation vector with respect to a maximum component of the gradient vector. Moreover, instead of the conventional constant learning rate, we propose the adaptive learning rate algorithm without any inner loop to select the step size, based on a nonlinear optimization technique. The simulation results show that the optimization solver based on the proposed quantized method represents sufficient learning performance.

The space-borne SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) system radiates the microwave signal and receives the backscattered signal. The received signal is converted to digital at the Digital Receiver, which is implemented at the end of the SAR sensor receiving chain. The converted signal is formated after signal processing such as filtering and data compression. Two quantization are conducted in the Digital Receiver. One quantization is an analog to digital conversion at ADC(Analog-Digital Converter). Another quantization is the BAQ(Block Adaptive Quantization) for data compression. The quantization process is a conversion from a continuous or higher bit precision to a discrete or lower bit precision. As a result, a quantization noise is inevitably occurred. In this paper, the impact of two quantization processes are analyzed in a view of SNR degradation.

In video compression standards such as MPEG and H.263. rate control is one of the key components for good coding performance. This paper presents a simple adaptive rate control scheme using a piecewise linear approximation model. While conventional buffer control approach is performed by adjusting the quantization parameter linearly according to the buffer fullness. the proposed approach uses a piecewise linear approximation model derived from logarithmic relation between the quantization parameter and bitrate in data compression. In addition. a forward analyzer performed in the spatial domain is used to improve image quality. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method provides better performance than the conventional one and reduces the fluctuation of the PSNR per frame while maintaining the quality of the reconstructed frames at a relatively stable level.

We proposed the algorithm for the quantization noise reduction based on variable filter adaptive to edge signal in MPEG postprocessing system. In our algorithm, edge map and local modulus maxima in the decoded images are obtained by using 2D Mallat wavelet tilter. And then, blocking artifacts in inter-block are reduced by Gaussian LPF that is variable to filtering region according to edge map. Ringing artifacts in intra-block are reduced by 2D SAF according to local modulus maxima. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm was superior to the conventional algorithms as regards PSNR, which was improved by 0.04-0.20 dB, and the subjective image quality.

Recently various prediction structures have been proposed to exploit inter-view correlation among multi-view video sequences. In this paper, we propose a QP(quantization parameter) selection method for the B frame inserted in the first frames of each GOP(group of pictures), where we change QP for the B frame adaptively to achieve uniform picture quality and overall coding gain. Each B frame is coded with reference to two frames in its adjacent views. We calculate QP for the B frame based on the correlation between the two reference frames, calculated using their rate-distortion costs. By applying the proposed method to the MVC reference prediction structure, we have improved the coding gain by 0.09$\sim$0.16 dB.

In this paper, we propose new methods used in MPEG codec that can improve the picture quality degradations of the reconstructed images, such as blocking artifacts, without additional computations. At first, a new 2-step MAD motion search is presented in the motion search and compensation course to reduce the computations and the errors of block boundary pixels. And we also present an overlapped 2-step MAD motion search that use the pixels beyond the block boundary using the reduced computations. In DCT/quantization course for intra-blocks, 1-D DCT predictive quantization and pixel difference predictive quantization, those use the adjacent pixel sets of the Previously reconstructed blocks and improve the inter-block continuity, are presented. As simulation results, proposed methods shows better picture qualities by reducing blocking artifacts than that of the conventional MPEG.

This paper compares the equalization performance of the DSE-MMA (Dithered Signed Error-MMA) and DQE-MMA (Dithered Quantized Error-MMA) adaptive equalization algorithm based on the dither signal in order to reduce the intersymbol interference occurs at communication channel. These algorithm was emerged in ordr to reduction of arithmetic operation than current MMA, it makes the independent and identical distribute the quantized error component by performing the 1 or N bit quautizer after adding the dither singal in obtaining the error signal for adapting process. It is possible to improve the robustness performance of adaptive algorithm, but degrade the MSE performance in steady state by dither signal. The paper directly compare the DSE-MMA and DQE-MMA adaptive equalization performance of the same concept of dithering in the same communication channel and signal to noise ratio by computer simulation. As a result of simulation, the DQE-MMA has more better in the every performance index, equalizer output constellation, residual isi, MSE and SER performance, but not in convergence speed.

Expanding services and productions for screen content videos recently, necessity of new compression techniques is emerging. The next-generation video coding standard is also considering specified coding tools for screen content videos, but it is still preliminary stage. In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of screen content videos for which we propose the quantization in spatial domain to improve coding efficiency. The proposed method directly employs quantization for residual signal without any transformations. The proposed method also applies adaptive coefficients prediction and in-loop filter for quantized residual signals in spatial domain based on the characteristics of screen content videos. As a results, the proposed method for the random access, the low-delay and the all-intra modes achieve bit-saving about 4.4%, 5.1%. and 4.9%, respectively.
