We propose a novel still image compression system which supports a high quality text compression function. The system segments the text from the image and compresses the text with a high quality. The system shows 48:1 high compression ratio using context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding. The arithmetic coding performs the high compression by the codeblocks in the bitplane. The input of the system consists of a segmentation mode and a ROI(Region Of Interest) mode. In segmentation mode, the input image is segmented into a foreground consisting of text and a background consisting of the remaining region. In ROI mode, the input image is represented by the region of interest window. The high quality text compression function with a high compression ratio shows that the proposed system can be comparable with the JPEG2000 products. This system also uses gray coding to improve the compression ratio.

포인트 클라우드는 다수의 3D 포인터를 사용한 3D 데이터의 표현 방식 중 하나이며, 멀티미디어 획득 및 처리 기술의 발전에 따라 다양한 분야에서 주목하고 있는 기술이다. 특히 포인트 클라우드는 3D 데이터를 정밀하게 수집하고 표현할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 하지만 포인트 클라우드는 방대한 양의 데이터를 가지고 있어 효율적인 압축이 필수적이다. 이에 따라 국제 표준화 단체인 Moving Picture Experts Group에서는 포인트 클라우드 데이터의 효율적인 압축을 위하여 Video based Point Cloud Compression(V-PCC)와 Geometry based Point Cloud Coding에 대한 표준을 제정하고 있다. 이 중 V-PCC는 기존 High Efficiency Video Coding(HEVC) 표준을 활용하여 포인트 클라우드를 압축하여 활용성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 V-PCC에 사용하는 HEVC 코덱을 2020년 7월 표준화 완료될 예정인 Versatile Video Coding으로 대체하여 V-PCC의 압축 성능을 더 개선할 수 있음을 보인다.

H.264 adopted many compression tools to increase image data compression efficiency such as B frame bi-directional predictions, the direct mode coding and so on. Despite its high compression efficiency, H.264 can suffer from its long coding time due to the complicated tools of H.264. To realize a high performance H.264, several fast algorithms were proposed. One of them is adaptive fast direct mode decision algorithm using mode and Lagrangian cost prediction for B frame in H.264/AVC (MLP) algorithm which can determine the direct coding mode for macroblocks without a complex mode decision process. However, in this algorithm, macroblocks not satisfying the conditions of the MLP algorithm are required to process the complex mode decision calculation, yet suffering a long coding time. To overcome the problem, this paper proposes a fast direct mode prediction algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can determine the direct mode coding without a complex mode decision process for 42% more macroblocks and, this algorithm can reduce coding time by up to 23%, compared with Jin's algorithm. This enables to encode B frames fast with a less quality degradation.

A trend in 3D mesh compression is codec design with low computational complexity which preserves the input vertex and face order. However, this added information increases the complexity. We present a fast 3D mesh compression method that compresses the redundant shared vertex information between neighboring faces using simple first-order differential coding followed by fast entropy coding with a fixed length prefix. Our algorithm is feasible for low complexity designs and maintains the order, which is now part of the MPEG-4 scalable complexity 3D mesh compression standard. The proposed algorithm is 30 times faster than MPEG-4 3D mesh coding extension.

The demand of image compression is increasing now for the integration of medical images into the hospital information system. Even though the quantitative distortion can be measured from the difference between original and reconstructed images, it doesn't include the nonlinear characteristics of human visual system. In this study, we have evaluated the nonlinear characteristics of human visual system and applied them to the compression of medical images. The distortion measures which reflect the characteristics of human visual system has been considered. This image compression procedure consists of coding scheme using JND (Just Noticeable Difference) curve, polynomial approximation and BTC (Block Truncation Coding). Results show that this method can be applied to CT images, scanned film images and other kinds of medical images with the compression ratio of 5-10:1 without any noticeable distortion.

Detection of double compression is one of the most efficient ways of remarking the validity of videos. Many methods have been introduced to detect HEVC double compression with different coding parameters. However, HEVC double compression detection under the same coding environments is still a challenging task in video forensic. In this paper, we introduce a novel method based on the frame partitioning information in intra prediction mode for detecting double compression in with the same coding environments. We propose to extract statistical feature and Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) feature from the difference of partitioning picture including Coding Unit (CU) and Transform Unit (TU) information. Finally, a softmax layer is integrated to perform the classification of the videos into single and double compression by combing the statistical and the DCNN features. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the statistical and the DCNN features with an average accuracy of 87.5% for WVGA and 84.1% for HD dataset.

This paper proposes a novel lossless image compression scheme composed of direction-adaptive prediction and context-based entropy coding. In the prediction stage, we analyze the directional property with respect to the current coding pixel and select an appropriate prediction pixel. In order to further reduce the prediction error, we propose a prediction error compensation technique based on the context model defined by the activities and directional properties of neighboring pixels. The proposed scheme applies a context-based Golomb-Rice coding as the entropy coding since the coding efficiency can be improved by using the conditional entropy from the viewpoint of the information theory. Experimental results indicate that the proposed lossless image compression scheme outperforms the low complexity and high efficient JPEG-LS in terms of the coding efficiency by 1.3% on average for various test images, specifically for the images with a remarkable direction the proposed scheme shows better results.

In this paper, a new method for effective video coding is studied. Picture set filter is proposed for preserving compression ratio and video quality. This filter controls the compression ratio of each frame depending on the correlation to the reference frame by selectively eliminating less important high-resolution areas. Consequently, video quality can be preserved and bit rate can be controlled adaptively. In the simulation, to test the performance of the proposed coding method, comparisons with the full search block matching algorithm and the differential image coding algorithm are made. In the former case, video quality, compression ratio and encoding time is improved. In the latter case, video quality is degraded, but compression ratio and encoding time is improved. Consequently, the proposed method shows a reasonably good performance over existing ones.

To reduce frame memory size usage in LCD overdrive, block truncation coding (BTC) image compression is commonly used. For maximization of compression ratio, BTC image compression is need to compress bitmap or quantization data. In this paper, for high compression ratio, we propose CMBQ-BTC (CMBQ : compression method bitmap data and quantization data) algorithm. Experimental results show that proposed algorithm is efficient as compared with PSNR and compression ratio of the conventional BTC method.
