In the whole world, the research about the VLSI implementation of motion estimation algorithm is progressed to actively full (brute force) search algorithm research with the development of systolic array possible to parallel and pipeline processing. But, because of processing time's limit in a field to handle a huge data quantily such as a high definition television, many problems are happened to full search algorithm. In the paper, as a fast processing to using parallel scheme for the serial input image data, motion estimator of systolic array structure verifying that processing time is improved in contrast to the conventional full search algorithm.

To allow multiple viewers to see the correct perspective and to provide a singh1 viewer with motion parallax cues during head movement, more than two views arc needed. Since it is prohibitive to acquire, process, and transmit a continuum of views, it. would preferable to acquire only a minimal set of views and to synthesize intermediate images. This paper presents how to synthesize the intermediate images using irregular quadtree decomposition and compares the proposed methods with full-search block matching. The image at the middle viewpoint between both viewpoints is synthesized and yields a 32.8 ㏈ peak-signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) which is 2.8 ㏈ high and has a running time 30% of that for conventional full-search block matching.

Full motion video data is the most effective data type that transmits information in multimedia enviornment. VOD service is system that uses network to transmit full motion video data interactively. Therefore VOD service system must satisfy the following requirements. First, it should transmit high quality full motion video. Second, it should be able to control a large quantity of full motion video. Third, a user should be able to retrieve the full motion vide effectively. However the existing VOD service system is established based n file system that not only does it have disadvantages in managment such as transaction control but also it is not suitable for distributed multimedia environment. The goal of this research is to build a VOD service system that provides high-quality full motion video assuming information retrieval. In order to mainly search video data's bibliographical information and to manage related information, VOD service system and DBMS system are to be closely related. Also, to transmit high quality full motion video data, we use MTP$^{TM}$(Media Transfer Protocol) developed by StarLight. MTP$^{TM}$ guarantees high bandwidth that is necessary to tansmit high quality full motion video data effectively. In other hand TCP/IP which is used for information search does not guarentee high bandwidth as that in MTP$^{TM}$. Therfore VOD service system that seraches information managed by DBMS and transmits requried full motion video data should control different kinds of protocol simultaneously. This paper describes the configuration of VODB system that has solved these problems, implementation and efficiency of data applied system.stem.

블록정합에 기초한 고속 움직임 추정 알고리듬은 탐색점의 수를 줄이기 위해 정해진 탐색패턴을 사용하며, 평균절대 오차 공간에서 오차는 전역 최소해 (global minimum)에 근접할수록 단조 감소한다는 가정을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 따라서, 탐색영역 내에 여러 최소점이 있는 다중 모달(multimodal) 해공간에서는 국소 최소해(local minima)에 고립될 가능성이 크며, 전역 최소해를 얻는 것은 초기 탐색점에 크게 의존한다. 이러한 현상은 서로 다른 여러 움직임이 공존하는 움직임 경계에서 더욱 부각된다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 시공간적으로 인접한 블록의 움직임 정보에 기초하여 탐색영역 내에 탐색 후보영역들을 정의하고, 국소 최소해로의 고립 가능성을 줄이기 위해 여러 후보영역들에 대한 다중 국소 탐색법(multiple local search method : MLSM)을 제안한다 또한, 다중 국소 탐색 법에서는 전체 후보영역들의 탐색으로 인한 부가적인 계산량을 줄이기 위해 탐색점 맵 상에 후보영역들을 표시하고 후보영역에 대한 중복탐색을 배제한다. 모의실험 결과 제안한 방법은 다른 경사법에 의한 결과보다 특히, 움직임 경계에서의 탐색에서 우수한 결과를 보였으며, PSNR에 대해서는 탐색점의 수를 증가시키지 않는 범위 내에서 전역 탐색법(full search : FS)에 의한 결과와 비슷한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

비디오 부호화 기법에서 압축률 및 화질을 결정하는 중요한 부분인 움직임 예측 및 보상(motion estimation and compensation)의 성능을 개선하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 가장 기본적인 움직임 예측 기법인 전역 탐색 방법은 가장 좋은 화질을 보이지만, 현재 프레임의 각 블록과 가장 유사한 블록을 찾기 위하여 탐색영역(search area)내의 모든 점에 대해 탐색을 수행하므로 그 계산량이 매우 많게 된다. 따라서 좋은 화질을 유지하면서 계산량을 낮추기 위한 많은 고속 알고리즘이 제안되었는데, MPEG-4 표준에 채택된 PMVFAST는 움직임 벡터 간의 상관도를 이용하여 계산량을 낮추면서도 전역 탐색 기법에 근접한 화질을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 움직임 벡터의 예측을 위하여 중간값(median) 계산법에 의한 새로운 방법을 제안하고, 이를 이용하여 움직임 예측의 계산량을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있음을 보인다. 실험결과 제안한 알고리즘은 PMVFAST보다 빠르면서도 전역 탐색 기법보다 높은 평균 PNSR을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 전력계통에서 정밀하고 변화에 수렴성이 빠른 탐색을 기반으로 하는 주파수 추정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 주파수 추정 알고리즘은 고분해능 스펙트럼의 기울기를 추정하여 스펙트럼의 peak 점을 탐색하는 구조를 적용하였다. 과도적으로 주파수 변화가 큰 경우에 기존 방법들의 단점인 수렴속도가 늦는 점을 보완 또는 개선하기 위한 방법으로 Context analysis를 통하여 Full-search 기법과 주파수 추정변수들을 적응적으로 적용하여 주파수 추정의 정밀도와 수렴속도를 향상시키고 대표적인 주파수 추정기법인 DFT(discrete Fourier transform) 방법, ECKF(extended complex Kalman filter), MV(minimum variable)방법들과 비교하여 수렴성과 정밀도가 우수함을 보였다.

This paper describes a method for estimating motion vectors in a video sequence. In this method, we find motion vectors using the full search method from the training images and then, train the codebook of the neural networks vector quantizer using these motion vectors. A motion vector can be estimated using the codebook as a motion prediction region. The codewords in the codebook represent the motion vectors for the input image sequences. Since the codebook is used as the search region for estimating the motion vectors, search points and computation can be reduced compared with the full search block matching algorithm. Additionally, the information required to transmit the motion vectors can be reduced.

Conventional full search block matching algorithm for motion estimation is computationally intensive and the resulting hardware cost is very high. In this paper, we present an efficient block matching algorithm using a 16:1 subsampling technique, and describe its hardware design. The algorithm reduces the number of pixels in calculating the mean absolute difference at each search location, instead of reducing the search locations.The algorithm is an extension of the block mating algorithm with 4:1 subsampling proposed by Liu and Zaccarin such that the amount of computation is reduced by a fact of 4(16 compared to the full search block matching algorithm) while producing similar performance.The algorithm can efficiently be designed into a hardware for real-time applications.

Block matching motion estimation is the most widely used method for motion compensated coding of image sequences. Based on a two dimensional systolic array, VLSI architecture and implementation of the full search block matching algorithm are described in this paper. The proposed architecture improves conventional array architecture by designing efficient processing elements that can control the data prodeuced by efficient search window division method. The advantages are that 1) it allows serial input to reduce pin counts for efficient composition of local memories but performs parallel processing. 2) It is flexible and can adjust to dimensional changes of search windows with simple control logic. 3) It has no idel time during the operation. 4) It can operate in real/time for low and main level in MPEG-2 standard. 5) It has modular and regular structure and thus is sutiable for VLSI implementation.

This paper introduces a new technique for block is matching motion estimation. Since the temporal correlation of the image sequence, the motion vector of a block is highly related to the motion vector of the same coordinate block in the previous image frame. If we can obtain useful and enough information from the motion vector of the same coordinate block of the previous frame, the total number of search points used to find the motion vector of the current block may be reduced significantly. Using that idea, an efficient predicted direction search algorithm (PDSA) for block matching algorithm is proposed. Based on the direction of the blocks of the two successive previous frames, if the direction of the to successive blocks is same, the first search point of the proposed PDSA is moved two pixels to the direction of the block. The searching process after moving the first search point is processed according to the fixed search patterns. Otherwise, full search is performed with search area $\pm$2. Simulation results show that PSNR values are improved up to the 3.4dB as depend on the image sequences and improved about 1.5dB on an average. Search times are reduced about 20% than the other fast search algorithms. Simulation results also show that the performance of the PDSA scheme gives better subjective picture quality than the other fast search algorithms and is closer to that of the FS(Full Search) algorithm.
