Multi-view video consists of a set of multiple video sequences from multiple viewpoints or view directions in the same scene. It contains extremely a large amount of data and some extra information to be stored or transmitted to the user. This paper presents inter-view correlations among video objects and the background to reduce the prediction complexity while achieving a high coding efficiency in multi-view video coding. Our proposed algorism is based on object-based segmentation scheme that utilizes video object information obtained from the coded base view. This set of data help us to predict disparity vectors and motion vectors in enhancement views by employing object registration, which leads to high compression and low-complexity coding scheme for enhancement views. An experimental results show that the superiority can provide an improvement of PSNR gain 2.5.3 dB compared to the simulcast.

We propose a novel algorithm for fractal video sequence coding, based on the circular prediction mapping (CPM), in which each range block is approximated by a domain block in the circularly previous frame. In our approach, the size of the domain block is set to be same as that of the range block for exploiting the high temporal correlation between the adjacent frames, while most other fractal coders use the domain block larger than the range block. Therefore the domain-range mapping in the CPM is similar to the block matching algorithm in the motion compensation techniques, and the advantages of this similarity are discussed. Also we show that the CPM can be combined with non-contractive inter-frame mapping (NCIM), improving the performance of the fractal sequence coder further. The computer simulation results on real image sequences demonstrate that the proposed algorithm provides very promising performance at low bit-rate, ranging from 40 Kbps to 250 Kbps.

H.264/AVC 표준은 영상간의 시간적 중복성(Temporal Redundancy)을 줄여 부호화 효율을 높이는 인터예측 방법을 사용한다. 하지만, 영상에서 발생할 수 있는 지역적인 밝기 변화를 효율적으로 부호화 할 수 없기 때문에, 화질의 열화가 발생하여 부호화 효율이 떨어지는 문제점을 지니고 있다. 본 논문은 지역적인 밝기 변화를 인접화소 및 움직임벡터 재조정을 이용하여 효율적으로 부호화 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은, H.264/AVC와 비교하여 0.01 ~ 0.21dB의 BD-PSNR (Bj$\o$ntegaard Delta Peak Signal-to-noise) 이득을 얻을 수 있었다.

HEVC 표준에 적용된 인루프 필터링 방법인 De-blocking filter와 SAO(Sample Adaptive Offset)은 영상의 블록화 현상(Blocking artifacts)과 ringing artifacts를 효과적으로 제거하여 부호화 효율 및 주관적 화질 향상을 달성하였다. 하지만, 인루프 필터링 사용에도 불구하고, Corner outlier artifacts라 불리는 블록 경계의 모서리 부분에서 발생하는 2차원 형태의 블록화 현상은 쉽게 제거하지 못하는 문제점을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 Corner outlier 픽셀 탐색 및 판단과정, 해당 outlier 픽셀의 필터링 방법을 통하여 이러한 artifacts를 감소시키는 방법을 제안한다. 실험결과, 제안하는 방법은 화면간 예측에서 약간의 압축 효율 향상을 보였으며, 특히 영상의 주관적 화질 측면에서 개선된 효과를 나타내었다.

This study focuses on analyzing the economic effects and probes the necessity of establishing a customs free zone at the Port of Busan. It first considers the economic effects of establishing a customs free zone at the Port of Busan, then suggests policy prescriptions for introducing and operating the free zone system and improving the logistics functions of the Port. The timeline of this study is focused on 2007, when all of Busan Port will operate as a customs free zone and the first stage of the New Busan Port and distribution parks will be built and opened for operation. The regression analysis, which was conducted using the inter-industry relations table(input-output table data), provided a quantitative prediction on the effects of making Busan Port into a customs free zone. Regarding the impact of a free zone system on the domestic and regional economy, this research found that the impact of a customs free zone on domestic industries and the regional economy once the customs free zone is established throughout all of Busan Port would be highly positive. The positive economic effects on the domestic and Busan regional economy might be further strengthened if the value-added logistics function of Busan Port could be supplemented by effective linking to the hinterlands.

Environmental fate of ionizable organic pollutants such as perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are of increasing interest but has not been well understood because of uncertain values for parameters related with atmospheric interphase partitioning behavior. In the present study, not only the values for air-water partition coefficient (K_AW) and dissociation constant (pKa) of PFAAs were induced by adjusting to in situ measurements of air-water distribution coefficient between vapor phase and rainwater but also gas-particle partition coefficients were also estimated using three-phase partitioning model of ionizable organic pollutants, in situ measurements of PFAAs in aerosol and air vapor phase, and obtained parameter values. The pKa values of PFAAs we obtained were close to the minimum values suggested in literature except for perfluorooctane sulfonic acids, and COSMOtherm-modeled K_AW values were assessed to more appropriate among suggested values. When applying parameter values we obtained, it was predicted that air particle-associated fate and transport of PFAAs could be negligible and PFAAs could distribute ubiquitously along the transection from urban to rural region by pH-dependent phase transfer in air. Our study is expected to have some implications in prediction of the environmental redistribution of other ionizable organic compounds.

우리는 H.264/AVC의 비디오 부호화에서 조기 인트라 모드 생략을 결정하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 새롭게 추가된 다양한 예측 방법들에 의한 매크로블록 부호화 방법은 압축의 효율의 증가를 가져오지만, 모든 부호화 가능한 모드에 대해 율-왜곡 함수를 계산하여 가장 효율이 좋은 모드를 선택하기 때문에 상당한 계산량을 요구한다. 이 논문에서는 인터 프레임에 대한 부호화 시간을 감소시키기 위해서, 적응적인 움직임 벡터 맵(AMVM)을 이용한 모드 결정 방법을 H.264/AVC 비디오 부호화기에서 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 PSNR과 Bit rate 그리고 부호화 처리시간에 대해서 일반적으로 좋은 성능을 가진다.

Upcoming ground-breaking applications for always-on tiny interconnected devices steadily demand two-fold features of processor cores: aggressively low power consumption and enhanced performance. We propose implementation of a novel superscalar low-power processor core with a low supply voltage. The core implements intra-core low-power microarchitecture with minimal performance degradation in instruction fetch, branch prediction, scheduling, and execution units. The inter-core lockstep not only detects malfunctions during low-voltage operation but also carries out software-based recovery. The chip incorporates a pair of cores, high-speed memory, and peripheral interfaces to be implemented with a 65nm node. The processor core consumes only 24mW at 350MHz and 0.68V, resulting in power efficiency of $80{\mu}W/MHz$. The operating frequency of the core reaches 850MHz at 1.2V.

This paper proposes a reusable design for the merging process used in three-dimensional High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC), which can significantly reduce the implementation complexity by eliminating duplicated module redundancies. The majority of inter-prediction coding tools used in 3D-HEVC are utilized through a merge mode, whose extended merging process is based on built-in integration to completely wrap around the HEVC merging process. Consequently, the implementation complexity is unavoidably very high. To facilitate easy market implementation, the design of a legacy codec should be reused in an extended codec if possible. The proposed 3D-HEVC merging process is divided into the base merging process of reusing HEVC modules and reprocessing process of refining the existing processes that have been newly introduced or modified for 3D-HEVC. To create a reusable design, the causal and mutual dependencies between the newly added modules for 3D-HEVC and the reused HEVC modules are eliminated, and the ineffective methods are simplified. In an application of the proposed reusable design, the duplicated reimplementation of HEVC modules, which account for 50.7% of the 3D-HEVC merging process, can be eliminated while maintaining the same coding efficiency. The proposed method has been adopted as a normative coding tool in the 3D-HEVC international standard.

Multi-hop cellular networks (MCNs), which reduce the transmit power, mitigate the inter-cell interference, and improve the system performance, have been widely studied nowadays. The relay selection scheme is a key technique that achieves these advantages, and inappropriate relay selection causes frequent relay switchings, which deteriorates the overall performance. In this study, we analyze the conditions for relay switching in MCNs and obtain the expressions for the relay switching rate and relay activation time. Two mobile-based relay selection schemes are proposed on the basis of this analysis. These schemes select the relay node with the longest relay activation time and minimal relay switching rate through mobility prediction of the mobile node requiring relay and available relay nodes. We compare the system performances via simulation and analyze the impact of various parameters on the system performance. The results show that the two proposed schemes can obtain a lower relay switching rate and longer relay activation time when there is no reduction in the system throughput as compared with the existing schemes.
