본 논문에서는 기존 신경망 기반의 이미지 압축에 많이 사용되었던 신경망인 ResNet 을 대신하여 더 적은 개수의 파라미터를 사용하여 좋은 성능을 낼 수 있는 신경망 구조인 DenseNet 을 이미지 압축에 사용한다. 이미지 압축을 위해 사용되는 신경망 구조는 일반적으로 오토 인코더 구조인데, 병목 층에서 정보 손실이 상당히 많이 발생한다. 따라서 이미지 압축에서 신경망 내에서의 정보 전달은 상당히 중요하다. 기존의 논문에서는 이를 위해 이전의 정보를 그대로 뒤로 전달해주는 구조인 ResNet 을 사용하여 깊은 층에 대해서도 수렴이 잘 되는 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 많은 수의 파라미터를 사용하는 단점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 DenseNet 을 이미지 압축에 사용하였고, 병목 층에서의 정보 손실로 인해 이미지의 고주파수 성분이 사라지는 현상을 해결하기 위해 원래 이미지와 JPEG2000 으로 압축한 이미지와의 차이를 추가 입력으로 넣어주어서 주관적인 화질을 개선하였다.

For the patients' privacy, secure access control of medical images is essentially necessary. In this paper, two types of Region of Interest (ROI)-based selective encryption schemes are proposed, which concentrate on the security of crucial parts in medical images. The first scheme randomly inverts the most significant bits of ROI coefficients in several high frequency subbands in the transform domain, which only incurs little loss on compression efficiency. The second scheme employs a symmetric key encryption to encrypt selectively the ROI data in the final code-stream, which provides sufficient confidentiality. Both of two schemes are backward compatible so as to ensure a standard bitstream compliant decoder so the encrypted images can be reconstructed without any crash.

We have developed a prototype super-high-definition (SHD) digital cinema distribution system that can store, transmit, and display eight-million-pixel motion pictures that have the image quality of a 35-mm film movie. The system contains a movie server, a real-time decoder, and an SHB projector. Using a Gigabit Ethernet link and TCP/IP, the server transmits JPEG2000 compressed motion picture data streams to the decoder at transmission speeds as high as 300 Mbps. The received data streams are decompressed by the decoder, and then projected onto a screen via the projector. By using an enlarged TCP window, multiple TCP streams, and a shaping function to control the data transmission quantity, we achieved real-time streaming of SHD movie data at about 300 Mbps between Chicago and Los Angeles, a distance of more than 3000 km. We also improved the decoder performance to show movies with Image qualities of 450 Mbps or higher. Since UDP is more suitable than TCP for fast long-distance streaming, we have developed an SHD digital cinema UDP relay system, in which UDP is used for transmission over a fast long-distance network. By using four pairs of server-side-proxy and decoder-side-proxy, 450-Mbps movie data streams could be transmitted.

In this paper, we address a new fast DCT-II/DFT/HWT hybrid transform architecture for digital video and fusion mobile handsets based on Jacket-like sparse matrix decomposition. This fast hybrid architecture is consist of source coding standard as MPEG-4, JPEG 2000 and digital filtering discrete Fourier transform, and has two operations: one is block-wise inverse Jacket matrix (BIJM) for DCT-II, and the other is element-wise inverse Jacket matrix (EIJM) for DFT/HWT. They have similar recursive computational fashion, which mean all of them can be decomposed to Kronecker products of an identity Hadamard matrix and a successively lower order sparse matrix. Based on this trait, we can develop a single chip of fast hybrid algorithm architecture for intelligent mobile handsets.

A wavelet-based image compression system allowing both lossless and lossy image compression is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of the two stages. The first stage uses the wavelet packet transform and the quad-tree coding scheme for the lossy compression. In the second stage, the residue image taken between the original image and the lossy reconstruction image is coded for the lossless image compression by using the integer wavelet transform and the context based predictive technique with feedback error. The proposed wavelet-based algorithm, allowing an optional lossless reconstruction of a given image, transmits progressively image materials and chooses an appropriate wavelet filter in each stage. The lossy compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 1 dB PSNR performance of the high frequency image, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. In addition, the lossless compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 0.39 compression rates of the high frequency image, compared to that of the existing algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm using wavelet transform for still image database retrieval. Especially, it uses only the lowest frequency sub-band in multi-level wavelet transform so that a retrieval system uses a smaller quantity of memory and takes a faster processing time. We extract different textured features, statistical information such as mean, variance and histogram, from low frequency sub-band. Then we measure the distances between the query image and the images in a database in terms of these features. To obtain good retrieval performance, we use the first feature (mean and variance of wavelet coefficients) to filter out most of the unlikely images. The rest of the images are considered to be candidate images. Then we apply the second feature (histogram of wavelet coefficient) to rank all the candidate images. To evaluate the algorithm, we create various distorted image databases using MIT VisTex texture images and PICS natural images. Through simulations, we demonstrate that our method can achieve performance satisfactorily in terms of the retrieval accuracy as well as the both memory requirement and computational complexity. Therefore it is expected to provide good retrieval solution for JPEG-2000 using wavelet transform.

Video Content owners seek to squeeze the maximum amount of revenue from their assets via distribution into more territories. Digital Cinema Package(DCP), trusted solution to distribute protected content to theaters, caters to relatively small user base, which limits revenue. With the growth of the Internet & other digital media, the economics of media content has changed dramatically. Security remains main concern to deliver content to millions of consumers using intelligent digital display devices like Tablets, Smartphones, Smart TVs, Desktop & Laptop. By making the video content available to this segment securely, content owners will benefit from increased revenue. Through this paper we propose Open Source HomeDCP model to distribute the content to home users for offline viewing. We propose to include other open source CODEC than JPEG2000/MPEG2, which are specifically designed for theatrical performance. Final image size will be further reduced considering the display device resolution where video will be finally played. Key Delivery Message(KDM) system to be altered to suit new devices. This will be a big boost to Content Economy as content owners would be able to distribute the content securely to the wider audience & ensure more revenue.

본 논문에서는 초고해상도를 갖는 복소 홀로그램을 압축하기 위한 전용 코덱에서 SPIHT(set partitioning in hierarchical trees)를 사용할 경우에 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 복소 홀로그램을 위한 코덱의 개발은 크게 전용 압축 방법을 만드는 방법과 HEVC 및 JPEG2000과 같은 앵커 코덱을 이용하고 전후처리 기법을 추가하는 방법으로 구분될 수 있다. 전용 압축 방법을 만드는 경우에, 복소 홀로그램의 공간적인 특성이 매우 독특하기 때문에 이 신호를 해석하기 위한 별도의 변환 도구가 필요하다. 많은 연구들에서 웨이블릿 변환이 여기에 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다는 것을 보여왔다. 웨이블릿 변환을 사용할 경우에 압축을 위해서 EZW, EBCOT 그리고 SPIHT를 사용할 수 있다. EBCOT의 경우에 복잡도가 너무 높고, EZW으 경우에는 성능이 좋지 않다. 따라서 SPIHT는 좋은 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 EZW와 SPIHT 같은 부대역 단위의 제로트리 기반의 알고리즘들은 고해상도의 영상에 대해서 고압축으로 코딩할 경우에 비트스트림 제어 시 온전한 부대역의 정보가 제대로 전송되지 못하는 문제점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 부대역의 분할 방법을 이용하여 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위한 시도를 하였다.

In this paper we compare two frequency domain digital watermarking methods for digital Images, namely DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) based and DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) based methods. Unlike DCT coefficients, which always have real values, DFT coefficients normally have complex values Therefore, the DFT coefficients have amplitude and phase components Among them, the phase components are known to carry more Important information for the Images. So, we insert the watermark to the phase of the DFT coefficients only This DFT watermarking method is compared with the conventional DCT based watermarking method for the object-based watermarking problem. Experimental results show that the DFT-phase based method IS more robust to general Image processing attacks including resize, lossy compression(JPEG), blurring and median filtering. On the other hand, the DCT based method is more robust to the malicious attack which inserts different watermarks.
