We propose stereoscopic video coding method using the syntax of MAC(Multiple auxiliary component) that was added to the MPEC-4 visual version 2 in order to describe the transparency of the video object. We also define the novel MAC's semantics in MPEG-4 that should support the proposed coding method. The major difference between the existing coding method and the proposed coding method is the addition of the residual texture coding. The proposed coding method assigns disparity map and residual texture to 3 components of MAC: one component for disparity map and the rest 2 components fer the luminance and chrominance data of the residual texture, respectively. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated in terms of PSNR by computer simulations.

This paper deals with FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) implementation of the AAC(Advanced Audio Coding) decoder. On modern computer culture, according to the high quality data is required in multimedia systems area such as CD, DAT(Digital Audio Tape) and modem. So, the technology of data compression far data transmission is necessity now. MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group) would be a standard of those technology. MPEG-2 AAC is the availableness and ITU-R advanced coding scheme far high quality audio coding. This MPEG-2 AAC audio standard allows ITU-R 'indistinguishable' quality according to at data rates of 320 Kbit/sec for five full-bandwidth channel audio signals. The compression ratio is around a factor of 1.4 better compared to MPEG Layer-III, it gets the same quality at 70％ of the titrate. In this paper, for a real time processing MPEG2 AAC decoding, it is implemented on FPGA chip. The architecture designed is composed of general DSP(Digital Signal Processor). And the Processor designed is coded using VHDL language. The verification is operated with the simulator of C language programmed and ECAD tool.

ISO/IEC 15938-1(MPEG-7 Systems)에서는 멀티미디어 컨텐츠에 대한 메타데이터의 효율적인 전송과 저장을 위한 이진 표현 방법인 BiM(binary format for MPEC-7)을 제공한다. 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 기술(description)하는 메타데이터의 텍스트 표현은 대체로 많은 저장 용량과 전송 리소스를 요구하기 때문에 효율적인 압축을 위해서는 이진 형식으로의 변환이 요구된다. 또한 텍스트 형식은 방송 환경과 같은 스트리밍 전송에는 적절하지 못한 단점이 있다. BiM은 컨텐츠에 대한 기술을 전체 또는 2개 이상의 AU(access units) 단위로 분할하며 부호화하는 방법을 지원함으로써 스트리밍 전송을 가능하게 한다. 이러한 구조는 이진 포맷 형태로 표현되는 헤더를 가지는 패킷 기반 형태이며, 융통성이 있는 전송 순서를 제공한다. 또한, 비트 스트림의 전체를 해석(parsing)하지 않고 랜덤 엑세스 기능을 제공하는 장점이 있다. BiM이 지닌 이러한 장점들로 인하여 현재 방송산업계를 중심으로 메타데이터를 방송에 활용하기 위한 기술을 표준화하는 국제 민간 표준화 기구인 TV-Anytime 포럼에서는 방송 컨텐츠에 대한 메타데이터의 압축에 관한 요구사항을 만족하는 하나의 방법으로 BiM을 고려하고 있다 본 논문에서는 이러한 MPEG-7 시스템의 BiM을 소개하고, 이를 이용하여 TV-Anytime 포럼의 메타데이터를 이진 포맷으로 부호화한 실험과 그 결과를 기술한다.

In this study, we developed a 3D facial modeler and animator that will not use the existing method by 3D scanner or camera. Without expensive image-input equipments, we can easily create 3D models only using front and side images. The system is available to animate 3D facial models as we connect to animation server on the WWW which is independent from specific platforms and softwares. It was implemented using Java 3D API. The facial modeler detects MPEG-4 FDP(Facial Definition Parameter) feature points from 2D input images, creates 3D facial model modifying generic facial model with the points. The animator animates and renders the 3D facial model according to MPEG-4 FAP(Facial Animation Parameter). This system can be used for generating an avatar on WWW.

When providing MPEG-2 video service through the ATM network, the degradation of QoS caused by cell losses and cell errors occuring from ATM netwok was assessed by the end-users subjectively and then the relation between CLR, CER and subjective QoS of MPEG-2 video was analyzed. Cell losses and cell errors occuring from the ATM network were generated according to the normal and exponential distribution by NEM module. Video sources were divided into sports and drama by moving feature and were tested. The results of our experiments show that the excellent quality of subjective QoS grade 5 was achieved for a cell loss rate of $2{\times}10^{-7}$ and for a cell error rate of $2{\times}10^{-7}$ and the good quality of subjective QoS grade 4 was achieved for a cell loss rate of $2{\times}10^{-6}$ and for a cell error rate of $2{\times}10^{-6}$ When providing MPEC-2 video service through the ATM network, the results of our experiments will be used as valuable information to determine the network performance objectives for satisfying the QoS required by the end-users and to design the network.

The input of digital TV software is the Transport Stream, which utilizes the moving picture compression technique, MPEC-2 (Moving Picture Experts Groups-2). MPEG-2 TS consists of the complicated table hierarchy and internal relationships, as well as the various restrictions with regards to system standard of digital TV software in determining the field values of transport stream. However, the general MPEG-2 TS generation tool produces transport streams solely based on the MPEG-2 TS specification itself, and does not consider the interaction between modulo features or modules themselves, which construct digital TV software. In this paper, we propose a method to systematically generate MPEG-2 TS test data, namely‘Test Stream’, for digital TV software. We present the experiment result where the test stream derived from our developed tool according to the proposed method was applied to the actual digital TV software settop-box, and then analyze the result. Apart from other existing MPEG-2 TS generation tools, the advantage of our method is that not only is it capable of generating various levels of test streams including digital TV software module, integration, and system testing, but also detecting errors and analyzing their causes.

This paper propose a method to trace a moving object based on the information directly obtained from MPEG-2 compressed video stream without decoding process. In the proposed method, the motion flow is constructed from the motion vectors involved in compressed video and then we calculate the amount of pan, tilt, zoom associated with camera operations using generalized Hough transform. The local object motion can be extracted from the motion flow after the compensation with the parameters related to the global camera motion. The moving object is designated initially by a user via bounding box. After then automatic tracking is performed based on the mean-shift algorithm of the motion flows of the object. The proposed method can improve the computation speed because the information is directly obtained from the MPEG-2 compressed video, but the object boundary is limited by blocks rather than pixels.
