With aggravation of environmental contamination and energy resource exhaustion, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) that can be economically operated with low fuel consumption are receiving greater attention. For performance improvement of such HEV, the development of efficient transmission can be seen as one of core technologies such as performance of components and driving strategy. Dual clutch transmission (DCT) is actively studied as a transmission type for HEV due to its advantages of having excellent power transmission efficiency based on manual transmission characteristic, resolving the problem of power interruption, and realizing driving convenience of automatic transmission (AT). In this paper, one diesel HEV equipped with 6-Speed DCT, modelled using MATLAB/Simulink, and a performance simulator developed for this vehicle are introduced. Driving simulation with driving cycles such as FTP75 and NYCC was performed using the developed performance simulator, and the simulated results regarding state of charge and fuel economy, when AT and DCT are applied to this diesel hybrid vehicle respectively, are compared. This performance simulator can be utilized to develop a control algorithm for improving the fuel economy of HEV with DCT.

H.264/AVC can use three transforms depending on types of residual data which are to be coded. H.264/AVC always executes $4{\times}4$ DCT transform. In $16{\times}16$ intra mode only, $4{\times}4$ Hadamard transform for luma DC coefficients and $2{\times}2$ Hadamard transform for chroma DC coefficients are performed additionally. Quantization is carried out to achieve further data compression after transform coding is completed. In this paper, the hardware implementation for DCT transform, Hadamard transform and quantization is studied. Especially, the proposed architecture adopting the pipeline technique can output a quantized result per clock cycle after 33-clock cycle latency. The proposed architecture is coded in Verilog-HDL and synthesized using Xilinx 7.1i ISE tool. The operating frequency is 106MHz at SPARTAN3S-1000. The designed IP can process maximum 33-frame at $1920{\times}1080$ HD resolution.

It's noticed that the SA-DCT (Shape-Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform) produces different 2-dimensional transform coefficients according as the first 1-dimensional transform is applied in horizontal or vertical direction for an arbitrarily shaped boundary block. Performing the first 1-dimensional transform in the direction, which has higher spatial correlation or smaller shifting distance, can compact the energy on the smaller number of AC coefficients around DC. This paper shows, experimentally, the compaction capability improvement by choosing the first 1-dimensional transform direction with higher spatial correlation or smaller shifting distance. Two adaptive selection methods are proposed to decide efficiently the spatial direction with higher correlation in a boundary block. One is based on the gradients between DC coefficients of neighboring and current blocks, and the other is based on the final coding efficiency that means the number of bits required for coding the block. Using the MPEG-4 video coder, the proposed method shows coding efficiency gain up to 10.87% compared to the conventional SA-DCT method.

MPEG은 동영상 압축 규약의 하나로서 고하질을 유지하면서 높은 압축율을 제공하기 때문에 그 사용 범위가 점차로 넓어지고 있으며, 또한 이러한 이유로 인해서 MPEG 데이터에 대한 편집 시스템의 요구도 점차 증가되고 있다. 그러나. MPEG 스트림에 대한 편집은 대부분 공간 영역에서 수행되기 때문에 수행 시간이 오래 걸리고 화질이 저하된다는 단점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DC 이미지를 이용한 MC-DCT 영역에서의 자막 처리 방법을 제안함으로써 기존의 자막 처리 방법이 안고 있는 단점을 극복하도록 하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 MC-DCT 영역에서의 워터마크 삽입 방법[1]을 응용하여 빠른 처리가 가능하도록 하였으며, MC-DCT 영역에서 쉽게 구할 수 있는 DC 이미지를 이용하여 화면 상태에 따라 자막의 세기를 조절함으로써 P,B 프레임의 처리 과정에서 발생하게 되는 화질 저하를 최소화하도록 하였다. 이러한 MC-DCT 영역에서의 자막 방법을 사용함으로써 기존의 자막 처리 방법 보다 약 4.9배 빠른 수행 속도를 얻을 수 있었으며, 화질 보존의 측면에서도 기존의 자막 처리 방법이 화면 전체에 대해서 화질 저하가 발생하는 반면 제안한 방법은 자막이 들어가는 부분에 대해서만 화질 저하가 발생하였다. 이러한 방법을 MPEG 스트림에 대해서 사용하게 된다면, 소프트웨어만을 이용한 저가의 데스크 탑 환경에서도 효율적인 자막 처리가 가능하게 될 것이다.

In this paper. we propose the method of Scene Change Detection for video sequence using the DC components and the moving vectors in the Macro Blocks in the DCT blocks. The proposed method detects the Scene Change which would not be related with the specific sequences in the compressed MPEG domain. To do this. we define new metrics for Scene Change Detection using the features of picture component and detect the exact Scene Change point of B-pictures using the characteristics of B-picture's sharp response for the moving vectors. In brief, we will detect the cut point using I-picture and the gradual scene changes such as dissolve, fade, wipe, etc. As a results, our proposed method shows good test results for the various MPEG sequences.

In current HEVC, prediction pixels are finally calculated by linear-function interpolation on two reference pixels. It is hard to expect good performance on the case of occurring large difference between two reference pixels. This paper decides more accurate prediction pixel values than current HEVC using linear function. While existing prediction process only uses two reference pixels, proposed method uses DCT-IF. DCT-IF analyses frequency characteristics of more than two reference pixels in frequency domain. And proposed method calculates prediction value adaptively by using linear-function, DCT-IF and cubic-function to decide more accurate interpolation value than to only use linear function. Cubic-function has a steep slope than linear-function. So, using cubic-function is utilized on edge in prediction unit. The complexity of encoder and decoder in HM6.0 has increased 3% and 1%, respectively. BD-rate has decreased 0.4% in luma signal Y, 0.3% in chroma signal U and 0.3% in chroma signal V in average. Through this experiment, proposed adaptive intra prediction method using DCT-IF and cubic-function shows increased performance than HM6.0.

In this paper,we propose a new algorithm to perform DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) withn the area reduced by prdeicting position of quantization coefficients to be zero.This proposed algorithm not only decreases the enoding time and the decoding time by reducing computation amount of FDCT(Forward DCT)and IDCT(Inverse DCT) but also increases comprossion ratio by performing each diffirent horizontal- vereical zig-zag scan assording to the calssified block size for each block on the huffiman coeing.Traditional image coding method performs the samd DCT computation and zig-zag scan over all blocks,however this proposed algorthm reduces FDCT computation time by setting to zero insted of computing DCT for quantization codfficients outside classfified block size on the encoding.Also,the algorithm reduces IDCT computation the by performing IDCT for only dequantization coefficients within calssified block size on the decoding.In addition, the algorithm reduces Run-Length by carrying out horizontal-vertical zig-zag scan approriate to the slassified block chraateristics,thus providing the improverment of the compression ratio,On the on ther hand,this proposed algorithm can be applied to 16*16 block processing in which the compression ratio and the image resolution are optimal but the encoding time and the decoding time take long.Also,the algorithm can be extended to motion image coding requirng real time processing.

In these days, multimedia data is transmitted and processed in compressed format. Due to the decoding procedure and filtering for edge detection, the feature extraction process of MPEG-7 Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD) is time consuming as well as computationally expensive. To improve efficiency of compressed image retrieval, we propose a new edge histogram generation algorithm in DCT domain in this paper. Using the edge information provided by the only two AC coefficients of DCT coefficients, we can get edge directions and strengths directly in DCT domain. The experimental results demonstrate that our system has good performance in terms of retrieval efficiency and effectiveness.

It is well-known that the coding efficiency of CABAC which is one of the entropy coding methods in H.264/AVC is lower than that of CAVLC at high bitrate in intra coding, even if CABAC shows higher coding efficiency than CAVLC. Therefore, for high quality video application, this paper proposes new binarization methods about the quantized DCT coefficients that are partitioned into four regions such that CABAC shows similar coding efficiency to CAVLC at high bitrate. The proposed binarization methods consist of separate binarization tables about the four partitioned DCT coefficients considering the statistical characteristics of the quantized DCT coefficients. The proposed binarizaton method for the quantized DCT coefficients shows higher coding efficiency than CABAC in H.264/AVC and shows very similar result to CAVLC at high bitrate.
