In this paper, we studied that the EZW algorithm based in HWT was proposed effective compression technique of wavelet transformed image. The proposed Haar-EZW algorithm is that image was coding by zerotree coding technique using self-similarity of HWT coefficients. If the HWT coefficient is larger than the threshold, that is coding to POS. If the HWT coefficient is smaller than the threshold, that is coding to NEG. If the HWT coefficient is larger than the root of zerotree, that is coding to ZTR. If the HWT coefficient is smaller then the threshold, and if that is not the root of zerotree, that is coding to IZ. This process is repeated until all the HWT coefficients have been encoded completely. This paper is compared Haar-EZW algorithm with Daubechies and Antonini. As the results of compare, it is shown that the PSNR of the Haar-EZW algorithm is better than Daubechies's and Antonini's.

Recently, it is important to process multimedia data efficiently. Especially, in case of retrieval of multimedia information, technique of user interface and retrieval technique are necessary. This paper proposes a new technique which detects cuts effectively in compressed image information by MPEG. A cut is a turning point of scenes. The cut-detection is the basic work and the first-step for video indexing and retrieval. Existing methods have a weak point that they detect wrong cuts according to change of a screen such as fast motion of an object, movement of a camera and a flash. Because they compare between previous frame and present frame. The proposed technique detects shots at first using DC(Direct Current) coefficient of DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). The database is composed of these detected shots. Features are extracted by HMMD color model and edge histogram descriptor(EHD) among the MPEG-7 visual descriptors. And detections are performed in sequence by the proposed matching technique. Through this experiments, an improved video segmentation system is implemented that it performs more quickly and precisely than existing techniques have.

We propose an algorithm for the robust transmission of video in error prone environment based on multiple description (MD) scheme and simple rate-distortion operators. The redundancy rate-distortion (RRD) criteria is used to split a one-layer compressed video stream into two correlated descriptions. The proposed algorithm can find more candidate points on the RRD curve than the conventional RRD based methods. A new distortion measure is also defined in this paper, which considers more realistic error environments. Since the proposed MD video coder is based on the standard H.263 coder, each description can be decoded independently by the standard H.263 decoder. Also, several descriptions can be decoded into a single stream by additional merge stage and the H.263 decoder. Simulation results show that the proposed MD video coder yields better performance than the conventional MD splitting algorithm at all bitrates both in single and two description cases.

Digital watermarking is to embed imperceptible mark into image, video, audio and text data to prevent the illegal copy of multimedia data, arbitrary modification, and also illegal sales of the copes without agreement of copyright ownership. The DCT(discrete Cosine Transforms) transforms of original image is conducted in this research and these DCT coefficients are expanded by Fourier series expansion algorithm. In order to embed the imperceptible and robust watermark, the Fourier coefficients(lower frequency coefficients) can be calculated using sine and cosine function which have a complete orthogonal basis function, and the watermark is embedded into these coefficients, In the experiment, we can show robustness with respect to image distortion such as JPEG compression, bluring and adding uniform noise. The correlation coefficient are in the range from 0.5467 to 0.9507.

In this paper, we propose an efficient integer inverse transform structure for vp9 decoder. The proposed structure is a hardware structure which is easy to control and requires less hardware resources, and shares algorithms for realizing entire DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform), ADST(Asymmetric Discrete Sine Transform) and WHT(Walsh-Hadamard Transform) in vp9. The integer inverse transform for vp9 google model has a fast structure, named butterfly structure. The integer inverse transform for google C model, unlike universal fast structure, takes a constant rounding shift operator on each stage and includes an asymmetrical sine transform structure. Thus, the proposed structure approximates matrix coefficient values for all transform mode and is used to matrix operation method. With the proposed structure, shared operations for all inverse transform algorithm modes can be possible with reduced number of multipliers compared to the butterfly structure, which in turn manages the hardware resources more efficiently.

Since the depth and texture images have been widely used for generating 3-dimensional stereoscopic image, the security of them have been focused. In this paper, we propose a new watermarking technique for copyright of stereo and multiview images which is generated in an arbitrary viewpoint by depth and texture image. After the mark space is selected for preserving watermark through DIBR (depth-image-based rendering) process which uses 3D warping, the texture image is transformed to the frequency coefficient using 2D DCT (discrete cosine transform). Some parts of them are quantized, which is the corresponding process to watermarking. The embedded watermark is not conformed by eyes, so we identified the invisibility of the proposed method. In case of appling attacks of general image process, we also identified the robustness of it.

Steganography technology protects the existence of hidden information by embedding a secret message in a specific location on the cover medium. Security and resistance are strengthened by applying various hybrid methods based on encryption and steganography. In particular, techniques to increase chaos and randomness are needed to improve security. In fact, the case where the shuffling method is applied based on the discrete cosine transform(DCT) and the least significant bit(LSB) is an area that needs to be studied. I propose a new approach to hide the bit information of Hangul messages by integrating the selective shuffling method that can add the complexity of message hiding and applying the spatial domain technique to steganography. Inverse shuffling is applied when extracting messages. In this paper, the Hangul message to be inserted is decomposed into the choseong, jungseong and jongseong. It improves security and chaos by applying a selective shuffling process based on the corresponding information. The correlation coefficient and PSNR were used to confirm the performance of the proposed method. It was confirmed that the PSNR value of the proposed method was appropriate when compared with the reference value.

We propose the hardwired distributed arithmetic which is applied to multiple constant multiplications and the fixed data path in the inner product of fixed coefficient as a result of variable radix-2 multi-bit coding. Variable radix-2 multi-bit coding is to reduce the partial product in constant multiplication and minimize the number of addition and shifts. At results, this procedure reduces the number of partial products that the required multiplication timing is shortened, whereas the area reduced relative to the DA architecture. Also, this architecture shows the best performance for DCT/IDCT and DWT architecture in the point of area reduction up to 20% from reducing the partial products up to 40% maximally.

Video compression algorithms are based on removing spatial and/or temproal redundancy inherent in image sequences by predictive(DPCM) encoding, transform encoding, or a combination of predictive and transform encoding. In this paper, each 8$\times$8 DCT coefficient of DFD(displaced frame difference) is adaptively quantized by one of the four quantizers depending on total distortion level, which is determined by characteristics of HVS(human visual system) and buffer status. Therefore, the number of possible quantizer selection vectors(patterns) is 4$^{64}$. If this vectors are coded, toomany bits are required. Thus, the quantizer selection vectors are limited to 2048 for Y and 512 for each U, V by the proposed method using SWAD(sum of weighted absolute difference) for discriminating vectors. The computer simulation results, using the codebook vectors which are made by the proposed method, show that the subjective and objective image quality (PSNR) are goor with the limited bit allocation.

HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)는 JCT-VC(Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding)라는 ITU-T(VCEG)와 ISO-IEC(MPEG)가 공동으로 진행한 팀이 만들어낸 표준화이다. 이 표준화된 코덱에서 율-왜곡 최적화(RDO)는 실행함에 있어 높은 성능 향상을 보이지만 상대적으로 많은 부호화 시간이 요구된다. RDO 의 부호화 시간을 줄이기 위해서 이 논문에서는 변환 계수를 이용한 고속 인트라 예측 방법을 제안한다. 기존 HEVC 에서는 RMD(Rough Mode Decision)를 통해 상위 N 개의 후보를 구하고 MPM(Most Probable Mode)을 거쳐 나온 후보들의 수의 합을 가지고 RDO 를 구하게 된다. 여기서 제안하는 고속 인트라 예측 방법은 RDO 를 구하기 전에 나왔던 N 개의 후보에서 이산 여현 변환(DCT) 계수를 이용하여 예측 모드의 수를 한 번 더 줄임으로써 RDO 수행시간을 줄이는 방법이다. 이 방법은 기존 HEVC 부호화 방법보다 적은 손실에도 불구하고 높은 속도 향상을 보인다.
