In this letter, we propose a cross-layer technique jointly considering modulation coding schemes (MCSs) of medium access control (MAC) layer, source significance information (SSI) and error concealment unit of application (APP) layer, and channel quality information (CQI) of physical (PHY) layer. We demonstrate the improved video quality by the proposed technique when H.264 videos are streamed over Rayleigh fading wireless channels.

This paper presents computationally efficient image compression for wireless transmission of high-definition video, to adaptively utilize available channel bandwidth and improve image quality. The method indirectly predicts an unknown available channel bandwidth by monitoring encoder buffer status, and adaptively controls a quantization parameter to fully utilize the bandwidth. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to variations in channel bandwidth.

본 논문은 정보 여분(Information Redundancy)에서의 에러 검출 코딩(Error Detect Coding) 기법을 이용하여 3-out-of-6 자체 검사기를 설계하고, 주기적인 코드(Frequency Coding) 주입을 통해 고장-안전 제어 논리를 모델링 했다. 고장-안전 제어 논리 모듈과 TMR(Triple Modular Redundancy)의 단일 모듈간에 대해서 신뢰성 병렬 수치 해석을 수행하였고, 이때 고장-안전 제어 논리가 기존의 하드웨어 여분 기법보다 시스템 소모비용과 기능적 오버헤드가 감소되어 기능신뢰성이 증가되는 결과를 얻었다.

This study provided a rubric prior to the performance of a task in a coding class and aimed to verify its effect. As for the research contents, this study redesigned the rubric developed in the preceding studies for the purpose of this study, presented that to the students and conducted a verification of its effects on the computer efficacy and academic achievement of the students who participated in the experiment, conducting a class. For this purpose, with 41 students in an experimental group, to which the rubric was presented to conduct the class and 39 students in a control group to which the rubric was not presented to conduct the class, this study conducted a six-week class and conducted a survey on their self-efficacy in the computer and a test to measure their academic achievement before and after the experiment. As a result, there were more positive effects on both computer efficacy and academic achievement in the group to which a rubric was presented and in which a rubric evaluation was conducted than in the control group. Through the result of this study, it was noted that the evaluation method presenting more specific and more detailed standards for performance and the level of the standards would have positive impacts on the learners' learning.

Conventional rate control (RC) schemes for H.264 video coding usually regulate output bit rate to match channel bandwidth by adjusting quantization parameter (QP) at fixed full frame rate, and the passive frame skipping to avoid buffer overflow usually occurs when scene changes or high motions exist in video sequences especially at low bit rate, which degrades spatial-temporal quality and causes jerky effect. In this paper, an active content adaptive frame skipping scheme is proposed instead of passive methods, which skips subjectively trivial frames by structural similarity (SSIM) measurement between the original frame and the interpolated frame via motion vector (MV) copy scheme. The saved bits from skipped frames are allocated to coded key ones to enhance their spatial quality, and the skipped frames are well recovered based on MV copy scheme from adjacent key ones at the decoder side to maintain constant frame rate. Experimental results show that the proposed active SSIM-based frameskip scheme acquires better and more consistent spatial-temporal quality both in objective (PSNR) and subjective (SSIM) sense with low complexity compared to classic fixed frame rate control method JVT-G012 and prior objective metric based frameskip method.

Three-dimensional (3D) video scenes are complex and difficult to control, especially when scene switching occurs. In this paper, we propose two algorithms based on an incremental proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm and a similarity analysis between views to improve the method of bit allocation for multi-view high efficiency video coding (MV-HEVC). Firstly, an incremental PID algorithm is introduced to control the buffer "liquid level" to reduce the negative impact on the target bit allocation of the view layer and frame layer owing to the fluctuation of the buffer "liquid level". Then, using the image similarity between views is used to establish, a bit allocation calculation model for the multi-view video main viewpoint and non-main viewpoint is established. Then, a bit allocation calculation method based on hierarchical B frames is proposed. Experimental simulation results verify that the algorithm ensures a smooth transition of image quality while increasing the coding efficiency, and the PSNR increases by 0.03 to 0.82dB while not significantly increasing the calculation complexity.

CAS is an access control system by which only legal users can access contents. IPTV is a spotlighted system that uses CAS. H.264/SVC is a coding standard that provides a scalable coding method by which users who are in various network environments and have various devices can receive the contents. In this method, the contents are coded in a layered structure to make users choose the quality of the receiving contents. Therefore, contents provider should be able to control users to access only appropriate contents according to their subscriptions. The structure of CAS being employed in many applications is not suitable to control access for H.264/SVC. In this paper, we provide an efficient access control method and a key management method for H.264/SVC contents using CAS.

This is paper presents the semantic based rate-control method which is based on very low bit rate video coding standards H.263 plus, applied on very low bit rate applications. Previous rate control methods control the generated bit rates by setting the optimum quantization parameters per macro block unit on frame. But, in this paper, we added the pre-processing algorithm, semantic region recognition and assignment of priority algorithm, to obtain the subjective quality enhancement. This work aims to improve the subjective quality of skin color region or face by using unimportant background region's bit resources.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of an unplugged robot education system capable of computerless coding education. Specifically, this study compared this education system with PicoCricket, an educational robot that can also be used with elementary students in lower grades, using assessment tools on perceived usefulness and ease. Using random sampling and randomized assignment for more objective validation, 30 participants were assigned to the unplugged robot education system group (experimental group) and 30 participants were assigned to the PicoCricket group (control group), for a total of 60 study participants. The research procedure included verification of the equivalence of the two groups by conducting a pretest after a 2-hour basic training session on algorithms and programming. The experimental and control groups learned the same content using different educational tools in accordance with software training guidelines for a total of 12 hours. Then, the difference in perceived usefulness and ease between the two groups was examined using a post-treatment test. The study results showed that scores on both dependent variables, perceived usefulness and perceived ease, were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group. Moreover, scores on all sub-variables of the dependent variables were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group. These results suggest that learners using the unplugged robot education system found it more useful and easier to use than learners using the existing educational robot, PicoCricket. This study's findings are significant, as according to the technology acceptance model, the perceived usefulness and ease of an educational tool are important variables that determine the acceptance of the tool (i.e., persistence of learning).

본 논문에서는 암호화된 Scalable Video Coding (SVC) 비트스트림에서의 조건적 접근제어을 위한 키 관리 기법을 제안한다. 스케일러블 비디오 코딩 기술은 한번 인코딩 후 비트스트림 추출을 통해 다양한 확장성(scalabbility)을 가지는 비디오를 생성 할 수 있는 기술로 확장하는 단위마다 다른 키로 암호화 하여 조건적 접근제어를 구성 할 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 조건적 접근제어 기술은 암호화 시 복수의 키가 필요하며 이는 키의 관리와 분배에 어려움을 준다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 기존의 스케일러블 코딩기법에서 조건적 접근제어를 위한 키 관리기법을 살펴보고 SVC 의 확장 구조에 맞는 키 관리 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 SVC 를 이용한 스트리밍 테스트베드에서 구현되어, 조건적 접근제어를 위한 키 관리기능의 유용성을 확인하였다.
