The purpose of this study is to design an authoring tool and a corresponding device for an olfactory display that can augment the immersion and reality in broadcasting services. The developed authoring tool allows an olfactory display to be properly synchronized with the existing video service by applying the standardized format using ISO/IEC 23005 (MPEG-V) and the corresponding developed scent display device. To propose the proper data format for the olfactory display, we have analyzed both the multimodal combination and the cross-modality related to the olfactory display. From the results of the analysis, we derived a set of olfactory parameters for the olfactory display that are related to emotion. The analyzed parameters related to emotion in an olfactory display are synchronization, scent intensity, scent persistence, and hedonic tone. These parameters should be controlled so that the olfactory display can be in harmony with the existing media to augment emotion. In addition, we developed a scent display device that can generate many kinds of scents and that satisfies design conditions for olfactory parameters that are for use with broadcasting services.

현재 멀티미디어는 사용자의 감성을 자극하며 몰입감과 현장감을 자아내고 극대화할 수 있는 실감 미디어(Immersive media)로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 실감 미디어 내 시청각 정보의 저장과 표현을 위한 데이터 템플릿과 인터페이스들은 상당히 많은 부분에서 표준화되어 왔지만, 이와 달리 후각, 미각, 촉각 등의 실감 정보들은 관련 표준들의 부재로 인해 많은 연구 개발에도 불구하고 해당 서비스들의 상용화가 지연되고 있는 중이다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 이 논문에서는 후각 미디어에 초점을 맞추어 MPEG-V 표준과 현재 진행 중인 MPEG-IoMT(Internet of Media Thing) 표준을 사용하여 미디어 사물 인터넷 내 후각 인터렉션을 위해 필요한 표준 데이터 템플릿과 인터페이스를 기술하였다.

Recently, MPEG-I (Immersive) has been exploring compression performance through standardization projects for immersive video. The MPEG Immersion Video (MIV) standard technology is intended to provide limited 6DoF based on depth map-based image rendering (DIBR). MIV is a model that processes the Basic View and the residual information into an Additional View, which is a collection of patches. Atlases have the unique characteristics depending on the kind of the view they are included, requiring consideration of the compression efficiency. In this paper, the performance comparison analysis of screen content coding tools such as intra block copy (IBC) is conducted, based on the pattern of various views and patches repetition. It is demonstrated that the proposed method improves coding performance around -15.74% BD-rate reduction in the MIV.

국제표준 3차원 포인트 클라우드 압축 기술인 MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group)-I(Immersive) V-PCC(Video-based Point Cloud Compression)에는 점유 맵(Occupancy Map) 손실/무손실 압축 기술이 포함되어 있다. V-PCC는 기존에 보급되어 있는 2차원 비디오 코덱(H.264/AVC, HEVC, AV1 등)을 그대로 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있는데, 대부분의 소비자 영상 기기에 포함되어 있는 2차원 비디오 복호화기 HW는 무손실을 지원하지 않는다. 따라서 V-PCC 복호화기의 폭넓은 상용화를 위해서는 부호화기에서 점유 맵의 손실 압축이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 V-PCC 부호화기의 점유 맵을 최소한의 압축 효율 저하로 손실 압축하기 위해 다양한 파라미터 실험을 통한 최적의 파라미터 값을 제시한다.

Recently, with the development of computer graphics technology, research on technology for expressing real objects as more realistic virtual graphics is being actively conducted. Point cloud is a technology that uses numerous points, including 2D spatial coordinates and color information, to represent 3D objects, and they require huge data storage and high-performance computing devices to provide various services. Video-based Point Cloud Compression (V-PCC) technology is currently being studied by the international standard organization MPEG, which is a projection based method that projects point cloud into 2D plane, and then compresses them using 2D video codecs. V-PCC technology compresses point cloud objects using 2D images such as Occupancy map, Geometry image, Attribute image, and other auxiliary information that includes the relationship between 2D plane and 3D space. When increasing the density of point cloud or expanding an object, 3D calculation is generally used, but there are limitations in that the calculation method is complicated, requires a lot of time, and it is difficult to determine the correct location of a new point. This paper proposes a method to generate additional points at more accurate locations with less computation by applying 2D interpolation to the image on which the point cloud is projected, in the V-PCC technology.

최근 들어 세계적으로 크게 관심을 받는 메타버스 및 몰입형(가상현실, 확장현실, 및 라이트필드) 콘텐츠 서비스의 응용 범위를 확대하기 위해서는 3D 객체의 실시간 전송을 위한 압축 기술이 필요하다. ISO/IEC 23090 MPEG-I Part 5 로 2021 년 표준화 완료된 V-PCC (Video-based Point Cloud Compression)는 이러한 산업계의 관심 및 필요에 의해서 국제 표준화된 동적 3D 포인트 클라우드 객체 부호화 기술이다. V-PCC 기술의 압축 성능은 기존 산업계 기술에 비해 매우 우수하나, 부호화기의 연산 복잡도가 매우 높다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 V-PCC 부호화기에서 가장 높은 연산 복잡도를 갖는 법선 추정 알고리즘의 결합 고속화 기법을 제안한다. 법선 추정은 2 개의 알고리즘으로 구성되어 있다. 첫번째는 "방향을 무시하는 법선 추정 알고리즘(normal estimation)"이고, 두번째는 첫번째 알고리즘에서 추정된 법선들을 대상으로 하는 "법선 방향 추정 알고리즘(normal orientation)"이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 고속화 기법은 2 개 알고리즘을 결합하여 첫번째 법선 추정 알고리즘에서 획득한 부가 정보를 두번째 법선 방향 추정 알고리즘에서 활용함으로써 연산량을 대폭 줄이고, 또한 법선 방향 추정 알고리즘 내의 우선순위 큐 자료구조를 변경하여 추가적인 고속화를 달성한다. 7 개 테스트 영상에 대한 실험 결과, 압축 효율 저하 없이 법선 방향 추정 알고리즘의 속도를 평균 89.2% 향상시킬 수 있다.

Recent developments in computer graphics technology and image processing technology have increased interest in point cloud technology for inputting real space and object information as three-dimensional data. In particular, point cloud technology can accurately provide spatial information, and has attracted a great deal of interest in the field of autonomous vehicles and AR (Augmented Reality)/VR (Virtual Reality). However, in order to provide users with 3D point cloud contents that require more data than conventional 2D images, various technology developments are required. In order to solve these problems, an international standardization organization, MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group), is in the process of discussing efficient compression and transmission schemes. In this paper, we provide a region division transfer method of 3D point cloud content through extension of existing MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)-SRD (Spatial Relationship Description) technology, quality parameters are further defined in the signaling message so that the quality parameters can be selectively determined according to the user's request. We also design a verification platform for ROUTE (Real Time Object Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport)/DASH based heterogeneous network environment and use the results to validate the proposed technology.

Specifications for Vol) services which is worked by Digital Audio-Visual Council(DAVIC) to support detail technologies including total service system that is consist of VoD server. delive[\! networl, and Set-Top Box(STB) had been already finished and ITU-T SG16 also recommended the standards of H.300 series terminal aspects for conversational multimedia services, But the architectures of multimedia tenninals recommended and specified by these organizations do not have an efficient st11lcture to provide all of retrieval, distrihution and conversational service due to a different point of view about multimedia terminals and services. In this paper, we analyzed the recornmendatio!E and the specifications of intemational public and private organizations like lTU-T, DAVIC and ATM forum. As a result of these analysis. we propose an efficient terminal architecture, and then we have designed, lmplemented the multimedia communication terminal for offering VoI) and real- time conversation ,,, functional module test according to the individual commumication service session and confirined the validiry or terminal implemented to be used on broadband ISDK environments.
