In this paper, we designed the outer encoder/decoder for the terrestrial DMB that is an advanced digital broadcasting standard, implemented, and verified by using ALTERA FPGA. In the encoder part, it was created the parity bytes (16 bytes) from the input packet (188by1e) of MPEG-2 TS and the encoded data was distributed output by the convolutional interleaver for Preventing burst errors. In the decoder part, It was proposed the algorithm that detects synchronous character suitable to DMB in transmitted data from the encoder. The circuit complexity in RS decoder was reduced by applying a modified Euclid's algorithm. This system has a capability to correct error of the maximum 8 bytes in a packet. After the outer encoder/decoder algorithm was verified by using C language, described in VHDL and implemented in the ALTERA FPGA chips.

MPEG-4 visual conformance standard specifies methods to verify whether bitstreams and decoders meet the requirements at the specified profile and level. The test of decoders can be divided into two parts: the static test and the dynamic test. The static test can be performed by examining the decoder output with that of a reference decoder. This paper proposes design methods of test bitstreams for static test of texture decoding, and shows the test results.

디지털 신호처리 알고리즘의 구현은 속도나 메모리의 사용측면에서 고정 소수점 구현이 필요하다. 특히, 정수형 연산 프로세서에서는 소프트웨어에 의한 부동 소수점보다는 고정 소수점 구현이 훨씬 성능이 뛰어나다. 디지털 신호처리 알고리즘의 복잡함과 일반 프로세서의 처리능력의 부족으로 이제까지는 신호처리 알고리즘의 실시간 구현을 위하여 대개 전용 프로세서나 디지털 신호처리를 위한 전용 명령어가 하드웨어적으로 구현되어 있는 프로세서를 사용하여 왔다. 하지만 현재 범용 프로세서의 주파수 속도가 빨라짐에 따라 복잡한 디지털 신호처리 알고리즘을 실시간에 처리할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 정수형 연산 프로세서에서의 부동 소수점 연산은 프로세서에서 실시간 처리에 많은 어려움을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 데이터 타입이 고정된 범용 정수형 연산 프로세서(ARM RISC 32bit CPU)를 가지고 부동 소수점 연산 알고리즘을 고정 소수점 연산형으로 바꾸어서 속도측면과 메모리 측면의 성능을 비교해 보았다.

An application specific processor for an H.264 decoder with a configurable embedded processor is designed in this research. The motion compensation, inverse integer transform, inverse quantization, and entropy decoding algorithm of H.264 decoder software are optimized. We improved the performance of the processor with instruction-level hardware optimization, which is tailored to configurable embedded processor architecture. The optimized instructions for video processing can be used in other video compression standards such as MPEG 1, 2, and 4. A significant performance improvement is achieved with high flexibility. Experimental results show that we could achieve 300% performance for the H.264 baseline profile level 2 decoder.

디지털 TV의 동영상 표준인 MPEG2는 방대한 양의 디지털 데이터를 발생한다. 그러나 현재 사용하고 있는 디지털 저장 매체의 수용 능력에는 한계가 있으므로 저장을 위해 전송된 high bit rate의 MPEG2 bitstream을 더욱 낮은 bit rate의 bitstream으로 전환하는 transcoding 기법이 반드시 필요하다. 기존의 encoder와 decoder를 이용하여 구현 가능한 장점이 있는 cascade transcoder는 reencoding시 motion estimation에 많은 수행 시간이 소요되므로, motion estimation 과정을 최소화하면서 optimal motion vector를 구할 수 있는 motion vector refinement 기법을 MPEG2 cascade transcoder에 적용하였다. 결과 처리 속도는 3-5배 향상되었고 화질은 기존의 72 transcoder에 비해 평균 0.1dB 이상의 FSNR 향상이 있었다. 또한 1Mbps와 같은 low bit rate에서 더욱 큰 화질 향상이 있었다.

본 연구에서는 사운드 합성에 응용할 목적으로 설계된 오디오 복호화기에 대한 내용을 담고 있다. 악기음을 ROM에 저장한 후 그 데이터를 이용하여 사운드 합성을 하는 PCM 방식에서 많은 악기음 데이터를 저장하면 할수록 더욱 좋은 음질의 사운드를 합성할 수 있다. 따라서 한정된 용량에 더욱 많은 악기음을 저장하기 위해서는 압축이 꼭 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 미리 압축한 악기음을 ROM에 저장한 후 그것을 필요시 복호화해 줄 복호화기만 있으면 된다. 그와 동시에 많은 악기음을 내기 위해서는 빠른 복호화기 필수적이다. 그래서 MPEG-1 오디오의 layer-1을 기본으로 하여 44.1 KHz의 샘플링 주파수로 32가지 악기음에 대한 실시간 복호화를 수행한다. 여기서는 음원 압축이라는 특수한 목적에 맞추어 압축의 효율성을 높이고 스스로 루프를 만들어서 합성의 편의를 제공하고 기존의 MPEG-1 오디오 layer-1에서 변형이 된 새로운 포맷과 추가된 기능에 관한 내용을 담고 있으며 이러한 복호화기를 설계하고 FPGA를 이용하여 검증하였다.

MPEG-V(ISO/IEC 23005) standardizes normative sensory effects metadata and sensory devices command for adapting the sensory effects between the virtual world and the real world. MPEG-V(Virtual) standardization has been carried out by 3DG(Dimensional Graphics) ad-hoc group inside MPEG Working Group(ISO IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11). For the scent effect, one of the sensory effects within MPEG-V, we proposed an olfactory interaction model including electronic nose and scent display to the ad-hoc group. Recently, we proposed types and elements related to the electronic nose as a sensor defined in MPEG-V standard for olfactory interaction. At the 114th MPEG meeting, the types and elements were consequently reflected on MPEG-V CD(Committee Draft) 4th edition. In this paper, we implement an electronic nose system applicable to MPEG-V standard by using MPEG-V schema, encoder, and decoder in order to assess their adequacy.

MPEG-4 is a standard for multimedia applications and provides a set of technologies to satisfy the needs of authors, service providers and end users alike. In this paper, we suggest a Real-time Multiple Circular Buffer (M4RM Buffer) model, which is suitable for streaming these MPEG-4 contents efficiently. M4RM buffer generates each structure of the buffer, which matches well with each object composing an MPEG-4 content, according to the transferred information, and manipulates multiple read/write operations only by its reference. It divides the decoder buffer and the composition buffer, which are described in the standard, by the unit of frame allocated to minimize the range of access. This buffer unit of a frame is allocated according to the object description. Also, it processes the objects synchronization within the buffer and provides APIs for an efficient buffer management to process the real-time user events. Based on the performance evaluation, we show that M4RM buffer model decreases the waiting time in a buffer frame, and so allows the real-time streaming of an MPEG-4 content using the smaller size of the memory block than IM1-2D and Window Media Player.

This paper proposes a new IFFT(Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) algorithm, which is proper for IMDCT(Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) of MPEG-2 AAC(Advanced Audio Coding) decoder. The IFFT used in $2^N$-point IMDCT employ the bit-reverse data arrangement of inputs and N/4-IFFT to reduce the calculation cycles. We devised a new data arrangement algorithm of IFFT input and N/$4^{n+1}$-IFFT and can reduce multiplication cycles, addition cycles, and ROM size.

This paper is on the DSP system design and implementation for real time MPEG-2 AAC multichannel audio, and MPEG-4 object oriented audio coding. This DSP system employs two DSPs of the state of the art TMS320C6701, developed by TI semiconductor. DSP board has PCI interface for downloading application program and control the system. DSP board was designed to use for both encoder and decoder, by setting several switches. The system contains external input and output box also, for A/D and D/A conversion for eight channel audio. The input box converts multi channel digital audio to ADI format, that provides serial interface for eight channel digital audio. And the output box converts ADI format signal to multi channel audio. Through this ADI interface, DSP boards can be connected to input, output box. Implemented DSP system was tested for integration with MPEG-2 AAC encoder and decoder S/W. Currently the DSP system performs realtime AAC 4-channel audio encoding with two DSPs, and 8-channel decoding with one DSP.
