The rapid growth of technology for network and terminal devices is able to service multimedia contents in mobile environments. But as the environment of networks and the performance of devices is varied, the same quality service is very difficult to be provided for user in internet and mobile environment. Therefore, multimedia streaming system must provide an adaptive service in considering network and device environment. Video transcoding techniques are the good solution that can provide video streaming service in various network environments adaptively. This paper proposes a dynamic frame-skipping transcoding scheme to provide adaptive streaming service in various network environments. This scheme uses the prediction period for transcoding. A proposed transcoding scheme can reduce time complexity through combination of prediction period and skipping period to control frame-skipping rate in encoder. In simulation results, the performance of proposed scheme is similar to the performance of a traditional dynamic frame-skipping scheme in PSNR value. But the performance of proposed scheme outperforms the performance of traditional scheme in time complexity.

무선 인터넷의 발달에 따라 이동 사용자의 수가 급증하면서 무선 환경에서도 질 높은 미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 받고자 하는 수요가 증가되고 있다. 하지만 이동 단말은 일반 컴퓨팅 환경과는 상대적으로 제한된 시스템 자원을 가지며, 무선 네트워크는 유선 환경보다 대역폭이 낮고, 변화가 크다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 이동 단말에게 질 높은 미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하기 위해서 AIMD를 적용한 NAAT 알고리즘을 이용하여 실시간으로 스트리밍 할 미디어 데이터의 비트율을 적응적으로 조절하여 이동 사용자에게 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하는 VOD 서비스를 구현 한다.

To provide adaptively video streaming services on network environment, video transcoding is introduced. The one of transcoding methods is the frame-rate conversion. it needs a re-estimation about a motion vector of the frame to refer a skipping frame. This re-estimation makes higher the computational complexity in video transcoding. To reduce the computational complexity of a motion vector refinement, this paper proposes a region & activity based motion vector composition scheme that refine the moving vector of a skipping frame. This scheme composes each motion vector from the weight based on the activity information of a macroblock and the site of the overlapped area. The experiment result shows that RABVC has a higher PSNR than the value of existing weight-based motion vector selection schemes though the computational complexity of our scheme is similar to that of other schemes.

To reduce the complexity of video transcoder, transcoding techniques generally use intermediate data such as macroblock types, motion vectors, DCT coefficients, which are extracted from incoming video bitstream. In this Paper, we Propose a new adaptive INTRA update scheme utilizing the importance of each macroblock in a given frame. The importance measure is calculated from the motion vectors which are extracted from the decoding procedure of a incomming video data.'rho ratio of the macroblock to be referred by the next frame is calculated by the motion vectors of the next frame and the macroblocks to be refered higher ratio has more effect on the next frame and the followed frames. The proposed scheme can obtain transcoded bitstreams which has better image quality and more improved resilience against transmission errors.

In this paper, a transcoding method that transforms MPEG-4 video bitstream coded in 30 Hz frame rate into H.264 video bitstream of 15 Hz frame rate is proposed. The block modes and motion vectors in MPEG-4 is utilized in H.264 for block mode conversion and motion vector (MV) interpolation methods. The proposed three types of MV interpolation method can be used without performing full motion estimation in H.264. The proposed transcoder reduces computation amount for full motion estimation in H.264 and provides good quality of H.264 video at low bitrates. In experimental results, the proposed methods achieves 3.2-4 times improvement in computational complexity compared to the cascaded pixel-domain transcoding, while the PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) is degraded with 0.2-0.9dB depending on video sizes.

In this paper, a novel transcoding algorithm for the G.729A and the Selectable Mode Vocoder(SMV) vocoders via direct parameter transformation is proposed. In contrast to the conventional tandem transcoding algorithm, the proposed algorithm converts the parameters of one coder to the other without going through the decoding and encoding processes. In transcoder from SMV to G.729A, LSP conversion algorithm, pitch delay conversion algorithm and transcoding algorithm in lower rate are proposed, and in transcoder from G.729A to SMV, LSP conversion algorithm, pitch delay conversion algorithm and rate selection algorithm are proposed. Evaluation results show that while exhibiting better computational and delay characteristics, the proposed algorithm produces equivalent or Improved speech quality to that produced by the tandem transcoding algorithm.

In this paper, a transcoding method with low computational complexity and high coding efficiency is proposed to transcode distributed video coding (DVC) bitstreams to H.264/AVC ones. For the proposed high-performance transcoding with low complexity, not only Wyner-Ziv frames but also key frames can be transcoded with motion vectors estimated in generation of side information. As a motion vector is estimated from a key frame to a prior key frame for side information generation, the motion vector can be used to encode the intra key frame as a predicted frame. Motion estimation is performed with two predicted motion vectors. One is the motion vector from side information generation and the other is median of motion vectors of neighboring blocks. The proposed method selects the best motion vector between two motion vectors based on rate-distortion optimization. Coding efficiency can be improved with a small size of search range, because a motion vector estimated in side information generation is used as an initial motion vector for transcoding. In the experimental results, complexity of transcoder is reduced about 12% and bitrate performance increases about 28.7%.

With the growing proliferation of mobile computing devices, several industrial and academic research groups have a vigorous studying to remote control for various appliances with mobile devices such as Notebooks, PDAs, and Smartphones in home network environments. We can utilize the good points of mobile devices such as portability and usability so that we can remote control and manage the mobile devices connected on home networks anytime, anywhere. However, mobile devices use different languages. Therefore, they cause some problems because their interfaces and the methods of operation are different each other. To solve these problems, there are two consideration. First, we may be solved development of the user interface and difficulty of maintenance in order to control various heterogeneous devices. Second, we may provide the user interface which is dynamically adapting user's preferences and device characteristics. To satisfy these considerations, we describe the design of an adaptive user interface for home network environments using the UIML (User Interface Markup Language) based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and the profile information of the user and device. Therefore, we present several implementation examples that show how the framework can form the basis of prototypical applications.
