In this papar, we propose a new motion estimation and coding technique using adaptive motion vector resolution. Currently, HEVC encodes a video using 1/4 motion vector resolution. If there are high texture regions in a picture, HEVC can't get a performance enough. So, we insert additional 1-bit flag meaning whether motion vector resolution is 1/4 or 1/8 in PU syntax. Therefore, decoder can recognize the transmitted motion vector resolution. Experimental results show that maximum coding efficiency gain of the proposed method is up to 5.3% in luminance and 7.9% in chrominance. Average computional time complexity is increased about 33% in encoder and up to 5% in decoder.

In stereo-view system, variations of target camera position or lighting conditions cause discrepancies on the luminance and chrominance components of stereo views. These discrepancies lead to inaccurate frame view prediction and low quality of 3 D video coding. In this paper, an efficient histogram interval calibration method is proposed for stereo-view coding, so as to compensate for the luminance component of target view. First the proposed method is analyzed by the histogram of the target image frame. Then, it divide two sections of histogram of that frame to correct the color discrepancies. Secondly, each section of the target frame is corrected the luminance component by identify the maximum matching region between the reference frame and the target frame. We have verified our proposed histogram matching method in comparison with the other color correction ones. Experimental results show that it can correct better luminance calibration results of PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and has less computation time.

TMN5 has been used to evaluate the performance of H.263, the ITU-T/LBC standard of moving picture coding. As DCT is used as transform coding methods in TMN5, blocking effect exists seriously in reconstruction picture at low bit rate. In this pater, DWT is substituted for DCT and adaptive quantizer is designed while the structure of TMN5 is maintained to be excellent in the transplantation of conventional system. It has shown that average PSNR is reduced by 0.35dB in luminance but increased by 2dB in chrominance comparing with that of TMN5. As block effect is reduced in reconstruction picture, the subjective picture quality is better than that of TMN5. Picture drop is, also, reduced because much more frames are transmitted at same bit rate.

In conventional color television systems color edges of highly saturated color pictures are deteriorated because of bandwidth limitation of the color-difference signal. In this paper a modified hue-weighted luminance demodulation method with low noise is proposed for the edge correction. The weighting coefficients are given by ratios of the gadient of color-difference signal to the gradient of band-limited luminance signal. Proposed method is theoretically complete for the 1st order lowpassed color-difference signals and well separated luminance/chrominance signal. Noise reduction technique is also considered because of impulse noise generation in the gradient ratio processing of noisy pictures. In computer simulation with noisy pictures proposed technique gives a visual effect of the bandwidth expansion and detail improvement in highly saturated color edge area.

The inorganic pearlescent pigment have high physical and chemical stability, thus it is used in a variety field, which has better light stability, solvent resistance and thermostability. In this paper, we were synthesized the pearlescent pigment for cosmetics which was coated cobalt chloride for base of blue color metal oxide on mica titania substrate using hydrothermal synthesis method. To complement the color of the pigment by cobalt, pearl pigment were coated by different metal salt and cobalt ratio, to implement a variety of color value, depending on the kind of metal salts were synthesized. Synthesized pearlescent pigments appear various color as kind of added metal salt precursor and molar ration of cobalt and other metals. We controlled coating and color by composition of metal salt and type of metal salts, and that confirm the pigment characteristics of color changes through the analysis of color difference meter. Synthesized pigment was characterized by SPM, SEM, XRD, and EDS.

In the paper, we propose efficient article and scene change detection algorithms to make the index of sports news compressed in MPEG-2 domain. In the proposed algorithm, the information in MPEG-2 compressed domain is directly used without decoding to save the computation time. The scene change detection algorithm is constructed in an hierarchical method so that the time for detection can be greatly reduced. Also, the algorithm can provide the robust detection against abrupt illuminance change because the luminance and chrominance components are simultaneously considered. Also, the scene change caused by special effect such as dissolve and wipe can be detected in the compressed domain. In the article detection, the algorithm is constructed for robust detection of the anchor frame using the concept of CCV(Color Coherent Vector).

For the improvement of coding efficiency, the H.264/AYC standard uses new coding tools such as 1/4-pel-accurate motion estimation, multiple references, intra prediction, loop filter, variable block size etc. Using these coding tools, H.264/AYC has achieved significant improvements from rate-distortion point of view compared to existing standards. However, the encoder complexity was greatly increased due to these coding tools. We focus on the complexity reduction method of intra macroblock mode selection. The proposed algorithm for fast intra mode selection calculates the edge activity in transform domain, and performs fast encoding of intra frame in H.264/AYC through the fast prediction mode selection of intra4x4 and chrominance blocks. Simulation results show that the proposed method saves about 59.76% for QCIF sequences and 65.03% for CIF sequences of total encoding time, while bitrate increase and PSNR decrease are very small.

This study examines the dyeability, light fastness, washing fastness, and the antibacterial activity of chitosan and nano silver composite non-woven fabrics dyed with an extracted solution from Chrysanthemum Indicum Linn. The results show that an increase in the chitosan and nano silver percentage resulted in an increase in the $a^*$ values and $b^*$ values; however, the $L^*$ values decreased in the undyed condition. ${\Delta}E$ values of chitosan and nano silver composite non-woven fabrics were higher than cotton 100% non-woven fabrics in the dyed condition with an extracted solution from Chrysanthemum Indicum Linn, and mordant treatments influenced the chrominance change. In the dyed condition with an extracted solution from Chrysanthemum Indicum Linn, an increase in the percentage of chitosan and nano silver resulted in an increase of the K/S values. The dyeability of chitosan and nano silver composite non-woven fabrics increased by mordant treatments. The light fastness and washing fastness of the mordanted non-woven fabrics were better than the non-mordanted. For the antibacterial activity, the bacterial reduction rate of chitosan and nano silver composite non-woven fabrics was 99.9% to Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

본 논문은 최근 수요와 관심이 급증하고 있는 초고선명 4K-UHD 영상의 방송TV 서비스 도입시에 영상의 시청환경 및 신호규격 선정의 가이드라인을 제공하는 것을 목표로 HEVC 코덱(HM5.0 참조 소프트웨어)으로 부/복호화 한 4K-UHD 영상에 대한 주관적 화질평가를 결과를 제시한다. ITU-R BT.500의 권고에 따라 DSIS 방법으로 실험 하였으며, 원본 영상 대비 목표 비트율(18, 23, 36 Mbps), 컬러 포맷(YUV444, YUV420), 시청거리(0.75H, 1.5H) 변화에 따른 주관적 화질 평기를 수행하였다. 실험결과 시청거리가 가깝고 비트율이 18Mbps로 낮게 책정한 조건에서도 평균 의사 점수(MOS)는 4.65로서 피 실험자들은 화질 차이를 거의 느끼지 못하는 것으로 나다났다. 또한 동일한 비트율 조건에서 컬러 포맷을 YUV444와 YUV420에 대한 비교 실험에서 각각 MOS 값은 4.71과 4.81로 측정 되었으며, 평가자들은 채도(Chrominance)의 해상도 보다 전체적인 PSNR이 높을수록 높은 MOS 값을 주었다. 이는 동일 비트율 대비 YUV444보다 YUV420의 컬러 포맷이 더 높은 주관적 화질을 가짐을 의미한다. 본 실험을 통해 HEVC 코덱을 사용하여 현재의 방송 대역폭 조건에 UHD 영상도 충분히 고품질로 전송 가능하며, 영상의 컬러 포맷은 YUV420가 YUV444 방식보다 동일 비트율 대비 더 높은 화질을 가질 것이라고 예상 할 수 있다.
