Compression coding based on block coding has been applied in image and video compression standard. But there is no block effect measurement due to block based image coding. In this paper, we propose a objective block effects measurement to reconstructed image using subblock DCT coding. Experimental results show that the block effects measures given by the suggested method agree well with the subjective ranking. This new objective measurement is simple and effective in measuring the block effect in the reconstructed image.

This paper is designed for hardware to be applied to JPEG2000 standard in the fields of digital photography, remote sensing, aerial remote telemetry, medical imaging, high resolution, and high compression telemetry applications. The software implementation of the JPEG2000 standard for image compression has disadvantages that the processing speed is very slow compared to the conventional JPEG, also the degradation occurs when the DWT level of the JPEG2000 standard is improved. In order to solve this problem, we designed and applied JPEG2000 compression/decompressor. In this paper, the hardware of the JPEG 2000 compression/storage device shows optimal compression speed, faster processing speed, and the image quality for still images by changing the optimal DWT level.

인공신경망의 확산 및 보급에 따라 적용 영역이 확대되고 있으며 여러 분야에서 획기적인 성능 향상을 이루고 있다. 영상 압축 분야의 기술개발은 기존 코덱 구조 내 각 요소기술의 성능향상을 위한 인공신경망 기술 분야와 기존 코덱 구조가 아닌 end-to-end 학습을 통한 인공신경망 기반 기술 분야로 나뉘어 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 end-to-end 학습을 통한 인공신경망 기술의 비선형 변환 계층 중 GDN(generalized divisive normalization) 계층이 영상 압축에 미치는 영향을 분석한다.

Due to the bandwidth and storage limitations, medical images are needed to be compressed before transmission and storage. DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) specification, which is the medical images standard, provides a mechanism for supporting the use of JPEG still image compression standard. In this paper, we explain a method for compressing medical images by JPEG standard and propose two methods for JPEG compression. First, because medical images differ from natural images in optical feature, we propose a method to design adaptively the quantization table using spectrum analysis. Second, because medical images have higher pixel depth than natural images do, we propose a method to design Huffman table which considers the probability distribution feature of symbols. Therefore, we propose methods to design a quantization table and Huffman table suitable for medical images. Simulation results show the improved performance compared to the quantization table and the adjusted Huffman table of JPEG standard. Proposed methods which are satisfied JPEG Standard, can be applied to PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System).

정보화 사회가 진행되어감에 따라 카메라 센서, 디지털 카메라, 휴대폰, 영상 관련디지털 기기들이 증가하고 이로 인하여 영상정보 서비스 기술의 중요성이 크게 부각되었다. 특히 멀티미디어 응용서비스 기술에서는 영상 정보가 필수적인데, 그 영상 정보의 양이 너무 방대하여 압축 부호화를 하여 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정지영상압축 방법 중 JPEG표준에서 제시한 4가지 동작 모드 중 베이스라인을 기반으로 하는 JPEG압축 알고리즘을 연구하여 CMOS 이미지 센서에서 영상을 전송받으면 8*8 블록 단위로 변환 후 DCT 및 양자화 과정을 거쳐 지그재그 스캔을 한 후 허프만 코드를 사용하여 압축 부호화 시키는 JPEG 베이스라인 인코더를 VHDL언어로 설계하였다.

Image data is mostly stored in compressed form because of its huge size. Therefore, a series of cumbersome procedures is required to apply a transformation to image data: decompression, extraction of spatial data, transformation and recompression. In this paper, we employ DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) coefficients to change the spatial presentation of images. DCT is commonly used in still image compression standards such as JPEG and moving picture compression standards such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and H.264. In this paper, we derived mathematically the relationship between the geometry transformation in the spatial domain and coefficient changes in the DCT domain and verified it with images in the JPEG file format. Because of the efficiency of transformation in the frequency domain, our findings can be utilized for light-weight partial image encryption for privacy data protection or entertainment contents protection.

Nowadays JPEG encoder uses block based DCT and quantization to compress the size of still image. JPEG encoding method performs better compression efficiency than the other still image encoding method. However, when encoding a still image at low bit-rate, high frequency coefficients could be lost because of the coarse quantization so the blocking artifacts occur. In this paper, we propose the method of eliminating the blocking artifacts which occur when the still image is encoded by JPEG at a high compression rate. The principle of proposed algorithm is that the eliminating the blocking artifacts, which occur in the boundary of blocks, in DCT domain with $4{\times}4$ block-based method. First of all, observe the blocking artifacts with $4{\times}4$ block in DCT domain. Then eliminate the blocking effects using effective filtering method that is $4{\times}4$ block-based. Experimental results have clearly shown that our algorithm presents substantially higher quality in subjective and objective point of view than the other algorithms.

In this paper, We compare the Harr wavelet of the S+P transform with various integer coefficient filter banks and apply 9/7 ICFB to the wavelet transform. In addition, we propose a entropy-coding method that exploits the multiresolution structure and the feedback of the prediction error, and can efficiently compress the transformed image for progressive transmission. Simulation results are included to compare to the compression ratio using the S+P transform with different types of images.

In this paper. we propose a digital watermarking method for still images in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. The adaptive watermark insertion method in the high frequency region within a given image is employed to increase the invisibility of the inserted watermark in images, in which variable block-size method is used for selection of the high frequency region. Experimental results show that the proposed watermarking method is robust to several common image processing techniques. including joint photographic experts group (JPEG) compression, lowpass filtering, multiple watermarking, and croppIng.

In this paper, we proposed a method for compressing the static video test patterns in high quality to test the picture quality in DTV. In our method, we use the fact that the generated bits and average quantization value have almost identical distribution characteristics per each GOP and we propose a new target bit allocation method suitable for compressing the static test pattern while the target bit allocation method in MPEG-2 TM5 is suitable for the moving picture. The proposed target bit allocation method is to maintain the high quality video continuously by using the normalized complexities which are updated or maintained by means of picture qualities at each GOP. Experiment result showed that the test pattern stream encoded by MPEG-2 software with the proposed algorithm had a stable bit rate and good video quality during the decoding process.
