Recently, with the development of three-dimensional scanning devices and multi-dimensional array cameras, research is continuously conducted on techniques for handling three-dimensional data in application fields such as AR (Augmented Reality) / VR (Virtual Reality) and autonomous traveling. In particular, in the AR / VR field, content that expresses 3D video as point data has appeared, but this requires a larger amount of data than conventional 2D images. Therefore, in order to serve 3D point cloud content to users, various technological developments such as highly efficient encoding / decoding and storage, transfer, etc. are required. In this paper, V-PCC bit stream created using V-PCC encoder proposed in MPEG-I (MPEG-Immersive) V-PCC (Video based Point Cloud Compression) group, It is defined by the MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) standard, and provides to be composed of segments. Also, in order to provide the user with the information of the 3D coordinate system, the depth information parameter of the signaling message is additionally defined. Then, we design a verification platform to verify the technology proposed in this paper, and confirm it in terms of the algorithm of the proposed technology.

Recently, broadcasting technologies have evolved as high-quality AV services such as domestic terrestrial UHD(Ultra-High Definition) broadcasting have been increasing, and broadcasting standards have been newly defined. Also, as network technology develops, contents are consumed not only in the country but also the world. Accordingly, content insertion technology, which is a method of providing suitable contents in accordance with the national and local environments, will be needed. This paper proposes a content insertion service system model and synchronization scheme using ATSC(Advanced Television Systems Committee) 3.0 Event Signaling standard under heterogeneous network environment of broadcasting network and internet network based on transmission standard DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)/ROUTE(Real time Object delivery Over Unidirectional Transport) and MMT(MPEG Media Transport) of terrestrial UHD broadcasting. It also verifies that the service operates in an environment that meets the broadcast standard.

DASH(Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)는 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group)에서 표준화 중인 HTTP를 이용한 적응형 비디오 스트리밍 기술이다. 일반적으로 HTTP를 이용한 적응형 비디오 스트리밍에서 클라이언트가 사용할 수 있는 기능은 파일 전체 또는 그 일부를 다운로드하는 것이다. 따라서 전체 콘텐트를 작은 파일 조각 즉, 세그먼트(segment)로 분할하여 세그먼트들을 순차적으로 다운로드함으로써 마치 스트리밍이 달성되는 것과 같은 효과를 낼 수 있다. 네트워크의 상태에 따라 전송률을 조절하기 위해서는 서버에 서로 다른 비트율로 부호화된 세그먼트들을 함께 보관해 두어 클라이언트로 하여금 선택할 수 있게 한다. DASH에서는 MPEG-2 TS 또는 MPEG-4 파일 포맷(MP4)를 기반으로 하는 두 가지 형태의 서버 콘텐트를 제공할 수 있다. MP4 기반 DASH의 경우, 클라이언트가 수신한 세그먼트들을 순차적으로 이어 붙여 저장한다 하더라도 특별한 조건을 만족하는 경우를 제외하고는 MP4 파일을 재생할 수 있는 기존 미디어 플레이어가 이를 재생하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 특별한 조건을 제시하고 이를 검증하였다. 이 조건은 서버에서 제공하는 세그먼트들에 대한 조건이다.

DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) is an adaptive streaming technique that enables transmission of multimedia content when clients request the multimedia contents to server. In this system, to ensure the best quality of the content to satisfy users, it is necessary to precisely measure the residual bandwidth. However, the measured residual bandwidth by the DASH, which is not considering the transmission features of TCP, varies by the size of previous media segment, which makes it hard to ensure QoE to users. In this paper, we excluded the TCP Slow start range from measurement of residual bandwidth and suggested the new DASH bandwidth measuring method to decrease the error. Then, we realized the method in DASH system based on open source, and compared the existing measuring method. The new method showed that the accuracy of result has increased by 20%. Also, it could improve the QoE of users in terms of service quality and number of changes of segment quality.

Free-viewpoint video (FVV) service provides multi viewpoints of contents and synthesizes intermediate video files which are not captured on some view angles so that enables users to watch as they choose wherever they want. Synthesizing video is necessary technique to provide FVV video service, because every video of the FVV contents for different view angles cannot be stored to the content server physically. For the reason, fast view synthesis can improve the quality of video service and increase user's satisfaction. One of the studies for FVV service, a method was proposed to transmit FVV service based on DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP). There is big advantage on using DASH that it is commonly used to transport video service. However, the method was only a conceptual proposal, so it is difficult to implement the system using the proposal. In this paper, we propose an implementation method to provide real-time FVV service smoothly. We suggest a system structure and operation method on the server and client side in detail, which is to be applicable to synthesize video quickly. Also, we suggest generating FVV service map additionally which controls a FVV service overall. We manage real-time information of the whole service through the service map. The service can be controlled by reducing the possible delay from network situation.

In this paper, we propose a scalable random access scheme in SVC based DASH service that enables random access support not only for base layer of SVC but also for enhancement layers. The proposed method includes extension of segment index box ('sidx') from DASH standard, as well as new RAP Synchronization Box ('raps'). Since the proposed scheme provides random access service for movie fragments with SVC encoded video layers, adaptive scalable random access service is possible.

Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) produced ATSC 2.0 standard, which has been used for a HD/SD digital broadcasting service with MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) as a delivery protocol. Recently, users might want to consume multimedia services without being constrained by transport network. However, MPEG-2 TS is not suitable protocol for IP network. Thus, ATSC has enacted ATSC 3.0 standard, which is designed for a hybrid service through a conversion of both broadcasting and broadband channels. The ATSC 3.0 specifies delivery protocols as MPEG Media Transport (MMT) for a broadcasting environment and Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) for a broadband. However, it seems difficult to combine broadcast and broadband for hybrid broadcasting, and it is difficult to synchronize media data between MMT and DASH. This paper suggests various new service scenarios to be brought up by a hybrid broadcasting, ATSC 3.0, and also proposes a stable mechanism for switching contents between different delivery protocols such as MMT and DASH.

Recently the huge demand for Internet media streaming has dramatically increased the cost of the CDN (Content Delivery Network) and the need for a means to reduce it is increasing day by day. In this situation, a P2P-assisted DASH technology has recently emerged, which uses P2P (Peer-to-Peer) communications based on WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) standards to reduce the CDN cost. This paper proposes an algorithm that can significantly improve CDN cost savings in this technology by selecting peers based on the transport history. Also we implemented this algorithm in an experimental system and, after setting experimental conditions that emulate the actual mobile network environment, we measured the performance of the experimental system. As a result, we demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can achieve higher CDN cost savings compared to the conventional algorithm where peers are selected at random.

Recent developments in computer graphics technology and image processing technology have increased interest in point cloud technology for inputting real space and object information as three-dimensional data. In particular, point cloud technology can accurately provide spatial information, and has attracted a great deal of interest in the field of autonomous vehicles and AR (Augmented Reality)/VR (Virtual Reality). However, in order to provide users with 3D point cloud contents that require more data than conventional 2D images, various technology developments are required. In order to solve these problems, an international standardization organization, MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group), is in the process of discussing efficient compression and transmission schemes. In this paper, we provide a region division transfer method of 3D point cloud content through extension of existing MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)-SRD (Spatial Relationship Description) technology, quality parameters are further defined in the signaling message so that the quality parameters can be selectively determined according to the user's request. We also design a verification platform for ROUTE (Real Time Object Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport)/DASH based heterogeneous network environment and use the results to validate the proposed technology.
