This paper proposed two transcodiing methods, which maintain the same spatio-temporal resolution and reduce a spatial resolution, to convert a H.264 video bitstream into an MPEG-4 video bitstream. When the H.264 video bitstream is transformed into the MPEG-4 video bitstream, the conversions between H.264 block types and MPEG-4 block types are performed by minimizing distortion and the ${\times}4$ block-based motion vector mapping is performed. The proposed two transcoding methods run 4.14～5.1 times as fast as the cascaded transcoding methods in MPEG-4 encoder side, while the PSNR (peak-signal-to ratio) is slightly degrade with maximum 0.3dB.

After the efficiency of H.264 video compression has been announced, it replaced MPEG-2 standard in several applications. So transcoding methods of MPEG-2 to H.264 have been studying because there are variety devices and contents followed by MPEG-2. Although H.264 supported various service such as IPTV, DMB, digital broadcasting etc, but users using MPEG-2 devices cannot accessible to them. This paper propose H.264 to MPEG-2 transcoding for users of MPEG-2 devices without displacement H.264. The proposed method predicted a motion vector for MPEG-2 encoder after it extracted from motion vectors of variable blocks in H.264 to improve processing time. Also it predicted a optimal motion vector using modified boundary matching algorithm after grasped a special character for boundary and background of object. The experimental results from proposed method show a considerable reduction in processing time, as much as 68% averagely, with a small objective quality reduction in PSNR.

본 논문에서는 주변의 잡음에 의해 통신 환경이 나쁜 시스템에서 통신의 안정성과 고속성과 원거리 통신의 구현을 중점으로 연구하였다. 전동차와 같이 Serial Communication을 이용해 차량사이 통신을 하는 경우 주변의 고전압, 고전류의 잡음에 의해 통신 Packet이 파손될 수 있으며 심지어 통신 모듈이 파괴되는 현상도 발생한다. 이를 위해 펄스트랜스 포머를 사용해 Hardware의 보호 뿐아니라 고속의 안정적인 통신을 구현 할 수 있다. 이는 펄스트랜스 포머의 특성상 하드웨어적으로 분리된 통신선과 통신모듈로 인한 안전성과 원거리 통신을 실현 하였으며 동기통신을 통한 빠른 속도와 FM0, FM1, Manchester 부호 방식에 의한 빠르고 안정한 통신을 제공하기 때문이다.

여러 응용 서비스를 유 무선을 포함한 다양한 네트웍을 통해 제공하기 위해서는 네트웍에 적응할 수 있는 서비스 형태가 요구된다. 그 가운데 멀티미디어 서비스의 경우 네트웍이 서로 다른 환경에 적응할 수 있는 해결책으로 트랜스코딩 기술이 제시되었다. 하지만, 트랜스코딩을 위해 필요한 복호 부호의 처리 과정은 실시간으로 제공되는 멀티미디어 스트리밍의 경우에 제약조건으로 작용하고, 이에 따른 처리 과정을 대폭 줄이는 일부 기술들은 사용자 측의 서비스 품질에 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 트랜스코딩을 통한 처리 과정과 사용자 측 서비스 품질의 두 가지 측면을 고려하는 frame dropping 시의 모션 벡터 합성 기법에 대해서 언급한다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 기존의 기법과는 달리 양방향 예측 프레임이 포함된 경우에도 적용할 수 있는 확장성을 제공한다.

The transcoding is needed to modify the bit rate of the video bitstream in accordance with the bandwidth of a variety of channels in order to provide users with a realtime multimedia service and more stable and credible VOD(Video On Demand) service on various wire/wireless network. This paper suggests how to guarantee the video quality in the transcoding process, taking the activity and direction of the macroblock into consideration, thereby reducing the calculation. The threshold of the macroblock's activity and direction is applicable to the different videos, with the DCT coefficients from the intermediate data in the decoding process. Moreover, the suggested video transcoding algorism enables us to maintain the proper video quality and reduce the calculation through the video bit rate change experiment in H.263 environment.

다양한 처리능력을 가진 단말기들은 복잡한 네트워크, 환경의 호환성을 제공하기 위해서, 전송 네트워크 채널이 허용하는 범위내로 부호화 된 비디오의 비트 율을 적응적으로 맞춰 주어야 한다 트랜스코더는 특정 비트율로 부호화되어 있는 비디오를 원하는 비트율의 다시 변환하기 위해서 복호화 만 후 다시 부호와의 과정을 거쳐야 하기 때문에 이에 따른 계산량의 증가와 더불어 전송시간에 문제가 발생한다. 이를 해결하기 위한 한 가지 방법으로 제안된 것이 프레임 건너뜀 기법 즉 시간적 해상도 변환 트랜스코딩이다. 비디오를 부호화하는 과정에서 계산량을 가장 많이 차지하는 움직임 추정과정의 계산량을 줄임으로써 트랜스코딩을 수행하는데 소모되는 시간과 노력을 크게 줄이고, 건너뛰지 않고 남아있는 프레임에 더 많은 비트를 할당하여 요구되는 화질을 유지할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 방향성을 고려한 움직임 벡터 재추정 기법과 정제 기법을 제안한다 제안된 기법인 E-FDVS(Efficient-Forward Dominant Vector Selection)는 움직임 벡터의 방향성을 고려하여 매크로블록과 움직임 벡터의 차이를 이용하여 움직임 벡터를 재추정한다. 그리고 제안한 기법인 DOS(Direction Oriented Search)를 사용하여 재추정 된 움직임 벡터의 방향으로 강한 움직임 벡터 정제를 함으로써 기존의 기법에 비해 우수한 화질을 제공한다.

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.

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is promising medium access control schemes for underwater acoustic sensor networks because of its robustness against frequency-selective fading and high frequency-reuse efficiency. In this paper, we design diversity schemes of underwater CDMA transceiver for the forward and reverse links. User data are multiplexed by Walsh code and a pseudo random noise code acquisition process is added for phase error correction before decoding the user data at the receiver. Then, the diversity reception using equal gain combining and maximal ratio combining is performed in order to minimize performance degradation caused by rich multipath fading of underwater acoustic channel. We evaluated the performance of diversity transceiver through lake experiment, which was performed at Lake Kyungcheon, Mungyeong city using two transmitters and two receivers placed 460 m apart at an average depth of 40 m. The lake experiment results show that user data are recovered with error-free in both of the forward and reverse links.

To reduce the area and power consumption in constant coefficient multiplications, the constant coefficient can be encoded using canonic signed digit(CSD) representation. When the partial product terms are added depending on the nonzero bit(1 or -1) positions in the CSD-encoded multiplier, all sign bits are properly extended before the addition takes place. In this paper, to reduce the overhead due to sign extension, a new method is proposed based on the fact that carry propagation in the sign extension part can be controlled such that a desired input bit can be propagated as a carry. Also, a fixed-width multiplier design method suitable for CSD multiplication is proposed. As an application, 43-tap filbert transformer for SSB/BPSK-DS/CDMA is implemented. It is shown that, about 16∼28% adders can be saved by the proposed method compared with the conventional methods.

This paper focuses on measuring the efficiency of container yards in container terminals in Busan and Gwangyang using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach. It analyses the relative efficiency of 11 container terminals based on the data for the period between 2006 and 2009 to offer a fresh perspective. The applied framework assumes inputs to be container cranes, transtainer cranes and yard tractors and output as container transshipment volume. Through the analysis, the differences between the impact of using of container cranes, transtainer cranes and yard tractors, top handler & reach stacker on container yard efficiency are measured. Moreover, the associations between the three input factors are analyzed as well. This paper also employs heteroscedastic Tobit model to show the impact of explanatory variables on container yard efficiencies. I took into consideration the strategies for operation of container cranes, transtainer cranes and yard tractors in container yard.
