Nowadays, zerotrees based digital watermarking techniques are considered to be an efficient watermarking technique used for multimedia data in a compressed form. This paper presents a technique for watermarking an image, by employing zerotrees derived from the wavelet packet coefficients of the transformed image to carry the watermark signal. By setting a proper threshold in zerotrees determining process, the watermark signal can be recovered without the need of original image. With our proposed technique, more amount of watermark signal can be embedded within the image, compared to ordinary wavelet transform based techniques. The experimental results show the improved performance in both qualities of the resultant watermarked image and robustness of the embedded watermark signal against common signal processing such as brightness/contrast enhancement, high-pass filtering, Gaussian noise adding and JPEG compression scheme

A digital watermarking technique applying psychoacoustic model for audio signal is proposed in this paper. In the watermarking scheme, the pseudo-random bit stream used as a watermark signal is embedded into the audio signal in both speech and music. The strength of the embedded signal is subject to the human auditory system in such a way that the disturbances on host audio signal are beyond the sensing of human ears. The experimental results show that the quality of the watermarked audio signal, in term of signal to noise ratio, can be improved up to 3.2 dB.

To protect against unlawful reproductions and distribution, the current paper proposes a digital watermarking technique for architectural drawings produced using a CAD system. First, the POLYLINEs are extracted from the drawing; then, an adaptive algorithm is used to embed a watermark in the characteristics of each POLYLINE. Next, the CIRCLEs are embedded using an adaptive watermarking algorithm related to the radius of circle from drawing. The proposed watermarking scheme is robust to various attacks, such as the geometrical transformation. Additionally, the proposed method satisfies the requirement of transparency for CAD program. It used AutoCAD 2002, which is commonly used as a CAD program for experiments. Experimental results confirmed the robustness and invisibility of the embedded watermarks in several conversions of an architectural drawing.

As the use of mobile multimedia devices is increasing in the recent year, the needs for high-performance multimedia processors are increasing. In this regard, we propose a SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) based parallel processor that supports high-performance multimedia applications with low energy consumption. The proposed parallel processor consists of 16 processing elements(PEs) and operates on a 3-stage pipelining. Experimental results for the JPEG encoding algorithm indicate that the proposed parallel processor outperforms conventional parallel processors in terms of performance and energy efficiency. In addition, the proposed parallel processor architecture was developed and verified with verilog HDL and a FPGA prototype system.

We propose a content based watermarking technique in multimedia management system. In the proposed technique, a content description technique of MPEG-7 for the multimedia database is adopted into a watermarking technique. With multimedia features described by MPEG-7 standard, we propose a novel watermarking technique where MPEG-7 descriptors are regarded as perceptually significant portions. The watermark is embedded in cooperating with multimedia features such as MPEG-7 descriptor. To verify the feasibility and performance of proposed watermarking technique, experiments with the MPEG-7 database are performed.

본 논문에서는 음질향상 알고리즘을 내장한 MPEG-1 오디오 디코더를 Embedded OS(Linux)기반 플랫폼에 구현하였다. 네트워크 대역폭과 저장 공간의 제한점을 고려한 MP3, AAC, OGG 등과 같은 손실 오디오 압축 코덱들은 공통적으로 고주파 대역의 정보가 손실되는데, 이러한 고주파 신호성분 손실은 결국 표준 CD음질을 가지는 오디오 신호보다 제한된 저주파 대역만을 재생할 수 있게 된다. 본 논문은 손실된 고주파 대역의 신호성분과 하모닉 성분을 효과적으로 추정 및 복원할 수 있는 음질 향상 알고리즘을 MPEG-1 오디오 디코더 내부에 각 계층 I, II, III 특성별로 최적화하여 Embedded Linux 플랫폼으로 구현하였다. 기존의 MPEG-1 오디오 디코더와의 비교 청취 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 구현된 시스템이 신호 스펙트럼 및 음질 면에서 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents the bytecode-to-SIL translator which enables the execution of the java program in EVM(Embedded Virtual Machine) environment without JVM(java Virtual Machine), translating bytecodes produced by compiling java programs into SIL(Standard Intermediate Language) codes. EVM, what we are now developing, is a virtual machine solution that can download and execute dynamic application programs written in sequential languages like C language as well as object oriented languages such as C#, Java, etc. EVM is a virtual machine mounted on embedded systems such as mobile device, set-top box, or digital TV, and converts the application program into SIL, an assembly language symbolic form, and execute it. SIL is a virtual machine code for embedded systems, based on the analysis of existing virtual machine codes such as bytecode, MSIL, etc. SIL has such features as to accommodate various programming languages, and in particularly has an operation code set to accept both object-oriented languages and sequential languages. After compiling, a program written in java language is converted to bytecode, and also executed by JVM platform but not in other platform such as .NET, EVM platform. For this reason, we designed and implemented the bytecode-to-SIL translator system for programs written in java language to be executed in the EVM platform without JVM. This work improves the execution speed of programs, enhances the productivity, and provides an environment for programmers to execute application programs at various platforms.

Pedestrian detection (PD) is an essential task in various applications and sliding window-based methods utilizing HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) or HOG-like descriptors have been shown to be very effective for accurate PD. However, due to exhaustive search across images, PD methods based on sliding window usually require heavy computational time. In this paper, we propose a real-time PD method for embedded visual surveillance with fixed backgrounds. The proposed PD method employs HOG descriptors as many PD methods does, but utilizes selective search so that it can save processing time significantly. The proposed selective search is guided by restricting searching to candidate regions extracted from Adaptive Gaussian Mixture Model (AGMM)-based background subtraction technique. Moreover, approximate computation of HOG descriptor and implementation in fixed-point arithmetic mode contributes to reduction of processing time further. Possible accuracy degradation due to approximate computation is compensated by applying an appropriate one among three offline trained SVM classifiers according to sizes of candidate regions. The experimental results show that the proposed PD method significantly improves processing speed without noticeable accuracy degradation compared to the original HOG-based PD and HOG with cascade SVM so that it is a suitable real-time PD implementation for embedded surveillance systems.

SyncML(Synchronization Markup Language) 프레임워크인 Sync4j와 내장형 데이터베이스 관리 시스템인 버클리 DB XML을 기반으로 한 XML 문서 데이터 동기화 시스템 XDS4j(XML Document Data Synchronization System for java)를 제안한다. 기존의 데이터 동기화 시스템들은 파일 시스템 기반으로 데이터를 갱신하므로, Fast Sync때 데이터 동기화 시간을 매우 지연시킨다. 이에 비해 XDS4j에서는 SyncML 클라이언트와 SyncML 서버의 XML 문서 데이터를 버클리 DB XML을 이용하여 관리하며, Fast Sync때 특정 데이터의 갱신은 XPath를 적용하여 갱신될 XML 문서의 해당 요소만 접근하게 함으로써 데이터 동기화 시간을 줄인다.
