다중 채널을 위한 다중 기술 부호화는 복호기가 채널의 일부분의 정보만 수신함으로서 유용한 영상 복원을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 새롭게 설계된 EZW 부호기를 이용하여 효율적인 다중 기술 부호기를 제안한다. 먼저 확장된 문턱값과 두 번의 부과정을 거치는 EZW 부호기를 설계하고, 이 부호기를 이용하여 두 개의 부호 채널을 가지는 다중 기술 부호기를 제안한다. 제안된 부호기의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 두 개의 채널과 두 개의 기술을 가지는 영상 압축 실험을 행하고 이를 최근에 보고된 결과와 비교하였다. 폴리 페이즈 변환을 사용한 결과와 비교하여 제안 부호기의 성능이 더 우수함을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper, we present a new multiple description embedded zerotree wavelet coding method using the two splitted thresholds. We first model a half EZW coder and then we present multiple description coder which has two coding channels using wide threshold EZW(WTEZW) coders. To evaluate the performance of the proposed coder, we provide an image coding applications with two descriptions and compare MDC image coding results reported to date.

When data is transmitted over an unreliable channel, the error of the data packet may result in serious degradation. The multiple description coding (MDC) can solve this problem and save transmission costs. In this paper, we propose a deep multiple description coding network (MDCN) to realize efficient image compression. Firstly, our network framework is based on convolutional auto-encoder (CAE), which include multiple description encoder network (MDEN) and multiple description decoder network (MDDN). Secondly, in order to obtain high-quality reconstructed images at low bit rates, the encoding network and decoding network are integrated into an end-to-end compression framework. Thirdly, the multiple description decoder network includes side decoder network and central decoder network. When the decoder receives only one of the two multiple description code streams, side decoder network is used to obtain side reconstructed image of acceptable quality. When two descriptions are received, the high quality reconstructed image is obtained. In addition, instead of quantization with additive uniform noise, and SSIM loss and distance loss combine to train multiple description encoder networks to ensure that they can share structural information. Experimental results show that the proposed framework performs better than traditional multiple description coding methods.

Delivery of high quality video over a wide area network with large number of users poses great challenges for the video communication system. To ensure video quality, multiple descriptions have recently attracted various attention as a way of encoding and visual information delivery over wireless network. We propose a new efficient multiple description coding (MDC) technique. Quincunx lattice sub-sampling is used for generating multiple descriptions of an image. In this paper, we propose the application of a directional discrete cosine transform (DCT) to a sub-sampled quincunx lattice to create an MDC representation. On the decoder side, the image is decoded from the received side information. If all the descriptions arrive successfully, the image is reconstructed by combining the descriptions. However, if only one side description is received, decoding is executed using an interpolation process. The experimental results show that such the directional DCT can achieve a better coding gain as well as energy packing efficiency than the conventional DCT with re-alignment.

Multiple Description Coding(MDC) is a technique used to obtain two or more (often correlated) descriptions of a source, which are transmitted over different channels to receiver. Two descriptions of the source support two levels of reconstruction quality. When all the descriptions are received and used in the reconstruction, the source should be reconstructed with acceptable quality. In this work, we consider Multiple Description Scalar Quantizer(MDSQ) to wavelet transform domain. Conventional MDSQ schemes in wavelet domain considered description with equal weights at each sub-bands after quantization. But each sub-bands is unequal contribution to whole image quality. Therefore, we experiment the multiple description with unequal weight in each sub-bands.

In the communications systems with diversity, we are commonly faced on needing of new source coding technique, error resilient coding. The error resilient coding addresses the coding algorithm that has the robustness to unreliability of communications channel. In recent years, many error resilient coding techniques were proposed such as data partitioning, resynchronization, error detection, concealment, reference picture selection and multiple description coding (MDC). In this paper, we proposed an MDC using whitening transform. The conventional MDC using correlating transform is need additional information to decode the image. But, if an image is transformed using the whitening transform, the additional information is not necessary to transform because the coefficients of whitening transform have uni-variance statistics.

Error resilience for image coding is an important component of multimedia communication system. Error resilience schemes address loss recovery from the compression perspective. Multiple description coding (MDC) is one of the error resilience techniques promising for robust video transmission. It is the way to achieve tradeoff description such as scalar quantization, correlating transform and the quantized frame expansion. In this paper, we consider Multiple Description Scalar Quantization (MDSQ) to wavelet domain. Conventional MDSQ schemes considered description with equal weights in each sub-bands. But, we can see that the each sub-bands is unequal contribution to whole image quality. Therefore, we experiment the multiple design MDSQ table to make probability of zero index high, which gives high efficiency in arithmetic symbol coder. We also compare our proposed method with the conventional methods and show improved performance in terms of redundancy-rate-distortion.

채널의 잡음 영향을 극복하기 위하여 새로운 멀티플 디스크립션 기법을 제안한다. 본 기법은 임베디드 부호화기법을 채택하고 있으며, 부대역 계수가 한번에 비트 플레인 단위로 부호화 되는데 이때 비적응적 산술부호화 방식을 사용한다. 각 영역의 중요도에 따라 관심영역을 부호화할 때, 다른 부분에 비해서 패스 횟수를 늘려서 부호화를 행함으로써 관심영역이 다른 부분에 비해서 고화질로 부호화되도록 한다. 또 채널 에러를 극복하기 위해서 부호화 과정에서 소스 데이터에 제어된 중복성을 허용하는 멀티플 디스크립션 기법을 채택한다. 본 방식은 고압축률을 지향하고, 특정한 영역이 다른 부분에 비해서 중요한 시스템의 경우에 보다 중요한 특성을 나타낸다.

This paper deliberates for a multimedia transmission scheme combining multiple description coding (MDC) and network coding (NC). Our goal is to take advantage from the property of MDC to provide quantized and compressed independent and identically distributed (iid) descriptions and also from the benefit of network coding, which uses network resources efficiently to recover lost data in the network. Recently, p-cycle NC has been introduced to recover and protect any lost or distorted descriptions at the receiver part exactly without need of retransmission. So far, MDC have not been explored using this type of NC. Compressed and coded descriptions are transmitted through the network where p-cycle NC is applied. P-cycle based algorithm is proposed for single and multiple descriptions lost. Results show that in the fixed bit rate, the PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) of our reconstructed image and also subjective evaluation is improved significantly compared to previous work which is averaging method joint with MDC in order to conceal lost descriptions.

일반적인 비 공유 저장장치를 가진 시스템에서는 특정 컨텐츠에 대한 편향된(skewed) 요청 문제를 피할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 비 공유 저장장치 모델로 설계/구현된 클러스터 기반의 스트리밍 서버에서 사용자의 편향된 컨텐츠 요청에 대처할 수 있고 스트리밍 서비스 중인 서버 또는 NS 카드에 문제가 생기더라도 스트리밍 서비스가 중단되지 않도록 다중 스트리밍 방법인 MDC(Multiple Description Coding)를 적용한 스트리밍 전송방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 클러스터 시스템에서 단일 세션으로 스트리밍 서비스를 제공하는 것이 아니라 MDC를 활용하여 다중 세션을 통한 스트리밍 서비스를 제공함으로써 모든 서버의 부하가 같아지고, 특정 서버에 문제가 발생하더라도 스트리밍 서비스가 끊어지지 않으면서 MDC의 특성인 적응형 서비스도 가능하게 되는 장점이 있다.
