A routing strategy based on traffic prediction and dynamic cache allocation for satellite nodes is proposed to address the issues of high propagation delay and overall delay of inter-satellite and satellite-to-ground links in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite systems. The spatial and temporal correlations of satellite network traffic were analyzed, and the relevant traffic through the target satellite was extracted as raw input for traffic prediction. An improved gradient boosting regression tree algorithm was used for traffic prediction. Based on the traffic prediction results, a dynamic cache allocation routing strategy is proposed. The satellite nodes periodically monitor the traffic load on inter-satellite links (ISLs) and dynamically allocate cache resources for each ISL with neighboring nodes. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed routing strategy effectively reduces packet loss rate and average end-to-end delay and improves the distribution of services across the entire network.

Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the latest video coding standard developed by Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET). In VVC, the quadtree plus multi-type tree (QT+MTT) structure of coding unit (CU) partition is adopted, and its computational complexity is considerably high due to the brute-force search for recursive rate-distortion (RD) optimization. In this paper, we aim to reduce the time complexity of inter-picture prediction mode since the inter prediction accounts for a large portion of the total encoding time. The problem can be defined as classifying the split mode of each CU. To classify the split mode effectively, a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) called multi-level tree (MLT-CNN) architecture is introduced. For boosting classification performance, we utilize additional information including inter-picture information while training the CNN. The overall algorithm including the MLT-CNN inference process is implemented on VVC Test Model (VTM) 11.0. The CUs of size 128×128 can be the inputs of the CNN. The sequences are encoded at the random access (RA) configuration with five QP values {22, 27, 32, 37, 42}. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the computational complexity by 11.53% on average, and 26.14% for the maximum with an average 1.01% of the increase in Bjøntegaard delta bit rate (BDBR). Especially, the proposed method shows higher performance on the sequences of the A and B classes, reducing 9.81%~26.14% of encoding time with 0.95%~3.28% of the BDBR increase.

In this paper, we propose two methods for complexity reduction of intra prediction in H.264/AVC. One is skipping of intra prediction using inter prediction cost at current macroblock in current P picture, average of intra prediction cost in previous I picture, and average of inter prediction cost in previous P picture. The other is skipping of intra 16$\times$16 prediction using intra 4$\times$4 prediction cost and modes. As a result, complexity of intra prediction in P picture and that of intra 16$\times$16 prediction in intra prediction macroblock can be reduced by about 80~99％ and 50~93％, respectively.

H.264/AVC High 4:4:4 Intra/Predictive profiles supports RGB 4:4:4 sequences for high fidelity video. RGB color planes rather than YCbCr color planes are preferred by high-fidelity video applications such as digital cinema, medical imaging, and UHDTV. Several RGB coding tools have therefore been developed to improve the coding efficiency of RGB video. In this paper, we propose a new method to extract more accurate correlation parameters for inter-plane prediction. We use a searching method to determine the matched macroblock (MB) that has a similar inter-color relation to the current MB. Using this block, we can infer more accurate correlation parameters to predict chroma MB from luma MB. Our proposed inter-plane prediction mode shows an average bits saving of 15.6% and a PSNR increase of 0.99 dB compared with H.264 high4:4:4 intra-profile RGB coding. Furthermore, extensive performance evaluation revealed that our proposed algorithm has better coding efficiency than existing algorithms..

In this paper, we propose an integrated spatial and view scalable video codec based on high efficiency video coding (HEVC). The proposed video codec is developed based on similarity and uniqueness between the scalable extension and 3D multi-view extension of HEVC. To improve compression efficiency using the proposed scalable multi-view video codec, inter-layer and inter-view predictions are jointly employed by using high-level syntaxes that are defined to identify view and layer information. For the inter-view and inter-layer predictions, a decoded picture buffer (DPB) management algorithm is also proposed. The inter-view and inter-layer motion predictions are integrated into a consolidated prediction by harmonizing with the temporal motion prediction of HEVC. We found that the proposed scalable multi-view codec achieves bitrate reduction of 36.1%, 31.6% and 15.8% on the top of ${\times}2$, ${\times}1.5$ parallel scalable codec and parallel multi-view codec, respectively.

This paper describes the scalable extension of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) to provide flexible high-quality digital video content services. The proposed scalable codec is designed on multi-loop decoding architecture to support inter-layer sample prediction and inter-layer motion parameter prediction. Inter-layer sample prediction is enabled by inserting the reconstructed picture of the reference layer (RL) into the decoded picture buffer of the enhancement layer (EL). To reduce the motion parameter redundancies between layers, the motion parameter of the RL is used as one of the candidates in merge mode and motion vector prediction in the EL. The proposed scalable extension can support scalabilities with minimum changes to the HEVC and provide average Bj${\o}$ntegaard delta bitrate gains of about 24% for spatial scalability and of about 21% for SNR scalability compared to simulcast coding with HEVC.

일반적으로 현재 사용되는 비디오 코덱들은 모두 시간적 공간적 특성을 적절히 고려하여 차분 신호를 엔트로피 부호화한다. 스케일러블 비디오 부호화(SVC, Scalable Video Coding)는 계층 간의 중복성을 제거하고자 새로운 3가지 예측 기술을 도입하였음에도 계층간 예측된 신호에는 여전히 이전의 엔트로피 부호화 방법을 그대로 사용하고 있다. 실험결과에 따르면 계층 간 예측 방법을 이용하여 취득한 차분신호는 기존의 시간적 공간적 예측 방법을 통하여 얻은 차분 신호와는 다른 특성을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 계층 간 예측 기술을 통해 얻은 차분신호에 대하여 엔트로피 부호화시 해당 차분 신호가 갖는 특성이 적절히 고려된 엔트로피 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 계층 간 텍스쳐 예측을 통해 얻은 차분 신호를 엔트로피 부호화하기 위하여 부호화된 블록 패턴(Coded Block Pattern, CBP) 표를 재설계한다. 이에 대한 실험 결과는 새롭게 재설계된 CBP 표가 기존의 JSVM 9.18 대비 4CIF 해상도의 영상에 대해 평균 2.20%, CIF 해상도의 영상에 대해 평균 1.14% 의 BD-Bitrate가 감소된다.

본 논문은 다시점 비디오 부호화를 위한 제한적인 시점 간 예측 방법을 제안한다. 다시점 비디오에서는 카메라의 위치 및 각도에 따라 시점 간에 보이지 않는 부분이 발생한다. 이와 같은 특성은 시점 간 예측을 하는 화면에서 매크로블록(Macroblock)이 보이지 않는 부분에 대해서도 양쪽의 참조 화면을 이용함으로써 예측 시간이 증가하는 요인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 점을 해결하기 위해 보이지 않는 부분에 속한 매크로블록의 시점 간 예측을 제한하는 방법을 적용하였다. 실험 결과, 기존의 다시점 비디오 부호화와 비교하여 4% 정도 부호화 시간을 단축시켰고 화질의 저하는 거의 없었다.

The layered coding structure of scalable video coding (SVC) with adaptive inter-layer prediction causes noticeable computational complexity increments when compared to existing video coding standards. To lighten the computational complexity of SVC, we present a fast algorithm to speed up the inter-mode decision process. The proposed algorithm terminates inter-mode decision early in the enhancement layers by estimating the rate-distortion (RD) cost from the macroblocks of the base layer and the enhancement layer in temporal, spatial, and inter-layer directions. Moreover, a search range decision algorithm is also proposed in this paper to further increase the motion estimation speed by using the motion vector information from temporal, spatial, or inter-layer domains. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can determine the best mode and provide more efficient total coding time saving with very slight RD performance degradation for spatial and quality scalabilities.

본 논문에서는 VVC 화면간 예측 모드 Combined Inter-intra Prediction(CIIP)의 화면내 예측 과정에서의 향상된 PLANAR 예측 방법을 제안한다. Combined Inter-intra Prediction(CIIP) 모드는 화면간 예측 신호와 PLANAR 모드로 생성되는 화면내 예측 신호를 가중합 하여 최종 예측 신호를 생성하는 모드이다. 제안하는 방법은 화면간 예측 신호로 생성된 예측 샘플을 PLANAR 모드 예측 과정에서 우측 및 하단의 참조 샘플로 사용한다. 이후 PLANAR 예측 및 가중합 하여 예측 신호를 만들어내는 것은 기존 CIIP와 동일하다. 제안하는 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 VVC의 참조 소프트웨어인 VTM 9.0에 구현하였으며, 기존 VTM 9.0과 부호화 성능을 비교한 결과로 휘도 성분에서 0.01 % 부호화 성능 감소를 보이고 색차 성분에 대하여 각각 0.17%, 0.13% 부호화 성능 향상을 보인다.
