The soft-decision e-BCH decoding algorithm based on the Chase algorithm is adopted in DVB-RCS NG systems. For implementation, it is necessary to decide the number of optimal quantization bits when soft-decision e-BCH decoding algorithm is processed. Also, the performance must be satisfied. Therefore, in this paper, when the soft-decision e-BCH decoder is implemented, we select the number of optimal quantization bits using BER performance.

본 연구는 영상에서 이진영상을 얻기위하여 최적의 임계값 결정을 영상에 나타난 물체의 형상정보를 근거로한 비트평면 패턴을 이용한 최적 임계화 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 원영상의 윤곽정보를 가장 많이 포함하는 최상위 비트평면을 사용하여 영상을 중복되지 않는 두 영역으로 구분한 뒤, 두영역의 화소 밝기값의 평균값을 각 각 구하고 두 평균값 사이에서 임계값을 설정하는 전역 임계화 알고리즘이다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 표준영상을 가지고 N 개의 비트평면으로 분할 한 후, 비트평면에서 전체영상을 중복되지 않는 물체의 영역과 배경영역으로 나누어 영상의 밝기를 비교한후, 두 영역의 영상 밝기의 중간 값을 추하여 임계값으로 결정한 결과 전체영상의 밝기값 분포만을 분석한 결과 보다 원영상의 윤곽을 더 충실히 얻을 수 있었다.

In the conventional public switched telephone network(PSTN), there are various types of modulation that can be used in ADSL to offer fast data communication, two of which are CAP(Carrierless Amplitude Phase) and DMT(Discrete MultiTone). As we consider the current situation, DMT is getting more predominant in the market than CAP. One of the reasons is that it gives high performance in spite of its high complexity Since DMT divides the full range of bandwidth into 256 sub-channels, it can be highly adaptive in the circumstances, where the problems of attenuation and noise caused by the propagation distance are very crucial. In this paper, a new bit loading algorithm for DMT modulation is proposed. The proposed algorithm can be efficiently implemented in a way that it requires less computation than the conventional modulation techniques. In contrast to the conventional algorithms which perform sorting processing, the proposed algorithm uses look-up tables to reduce the repetition of calculation. Consequently, it is shown that less processing time and lower complexity can be achieved.

In this paper, we consider the superposed 16-QAM CDMA system for subband coded (SBC) image transmissions. We divide the SBC image bit into two group according to its significance. First, we investigate the average bit error rate (BER) of the overall system when the significance of bits is ignored. Next, we investigate the optimal signal constellation and processing gain that maximizes the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of SBC image, subject to a fixed power and bandwidth constraint. We examine the performance improvement over the conventional equal distane, equal processing gain system, and the equal error protection (EEP) system.

This paper presents an approach for rate control by adaptively selecting macroblock modes in video coding.The problem of rate control has been investigated by many authors where quantizer level is adjustedbased on the buffer fullness. The proposed approach is different fron the previous ones [4] id that it finds the optimal decision curve rather than finding a set of the modes. Proposed algorithm extends the coding decision options for rate control to motion/no-motion compensation as well as inter/intra decisions. Instead of having a fixed motion/no-notion compensation or inter/intra decision curve, one can utilize an adaptive decision curvebased on the characteristics of input frames so that the PSNR at a given bit rate is maximized. Therefore, the proposed approach provides better rate control than simple quantizer feedback approach interns of visual quality. The curve is obtained by utilizing simulated annealing optimization technique. Thealgorithm is implemented and simulations are compared with other approaches within H.261 video codec.

망관리성이란 다수의 이용자가 네트워크를 효율적으로 이용할 수 있도록 하기 위해 통신사업자가 네트워크를 합리적으로 관리할 수 있어야 한다는 것을 의미한다. 본고에서는 최근 증가하고 있는 대용량 비디오 트래픽에 대한 최적의 이용환경을 제공하고 망관리성을 제고하는 방안으로서 비디오 트래픽 대역폭 최적화 동향을 살펴보고 향후 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 비디오 트래픽 대역폭 최적화란 네트워크(3G/ LTE 등), 단말(휴대폰/태블릿 등), 콘텐츠(스포츠/드라마/영화 등) 유형별로 이용자의 동영상 품질 만족도와 네트워크 품질을 동시에 만족하는 최적 대역폭(비트레이트)의 비디오 트래픽을 전송하는 것이다. 비디오 트래픽 최적화에 있어서 최적대역폭 선정 기준의 정립은 다음과 같은 두 가지의 연구 결과를 기반으로 진행된다. 첫째, 일반적으로 동영상 대역폭이 증가할수록 영상 품질도 정비례로 증가할 것이라는 예상과는 달리, 무선 단말 이용자는 영상화질의 일정 임계치 이상에서 품질의 차이를 거의 느낄 수 없다. 둘째, 다량의 비디오 트래픽이 네트워크 총 대역폭의 일정 비율 이상을 차지하게 될 경우 네트워크 품질저하 요소가 발생하여 네트워크 품질이 급격히 악화된다. 비디오 트래픽 최적화는 이러한 요소를 고려하여 이용자의 영상 품질 만족도를 최대화하면서 네트워크 품질 유지비용을 최소화하고 트래픽 전송품질을 확보할 수 있는 최적대역폭을 설정하는 것이다. 비디오 트래픽 최적화의 목적은 트래픽을 통제하거나 차단하는 것이 아니며 최적대역폭에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하여 콘텐츠사업자(이하 CP)와 Over-The-Top 사업자(이하 OTT)가 자발적으로 준수하도록 유도하고자 하는 것이다. 비디오 트래픽 최적화는 ICT생태계 모든 이해관계자에게 편익을 제고할 것으로 기대된다. 첫째, 이용자에 대해서는 통신품질 안정화로 전체적인 이용자 만족도를 향상시킨다. 둘째, CP/OTT는 멀티미디어 서비스의 대중화와 서버 및 전송장비 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 마지막으로 통신사는 네트워크 품질저하 및 비용 급증을 방지할 수 있다.

A new approach for determining global threshold value for image binarization is proposed in this paper. In the proposed algorithm, bit-plane information which involve the shapes of original image is used for dividing image into two parts object and background, and then compared each average values. Optimal threshold value are selected in center of two averages. Proposed method is relatively simple but robust and achieved good results in continuous tone images and document image.

This paper introduces a macroblock-based rate control algorithm using the neural classifier based in Self Organization feature Maps (SOFM). In contrast to the conventional rate control methods based on the mathematical rate distortion (RD) model and the feedback regression, proposed method can actively adapt to the rapid-varying image characteristics by establishing the global model for bitrate control and by using the SOFM based neural classifier to manage that model. Proposed rate control algorithm has 0.2 dB ~ 0.6 dB better performances than MPEG-4 macroblock-based rate control algorithm by evaluating with the encoded Peak Signal to Noise Ratios while maintaining similar overall computational complexity.

Recently, images/videos have been preferred as the communication media because of their information-implication and easy recognizability. But the amount of their data is so large that it has been the major research area to compress their data. This paper is related to optimization in th image data format, which can make a great effect in performance of data compression and is based on the wavelet transform and JPEG2000. This paper established a criterion to decide the data format to be used in wavelet transform, which is on the bases of the data errors in frequency transform and quantization. This criterion has been used to extract the optimal data format experimentally. The result were(1, 9) of 10-bit fixed-point format for filter coefficients and (9, 7) of 16-bit fixed-point data dormat for wavelet coefficients and their optimality was confirmed.
