  • In video camera, an automatic video quality compensation method using the dynamic range transform is proposed. The histogram is used to decide the nonuniformness of picture brightness by nonuniform lighting. The gray level is divided four regions, and the histogram is obtained per one field. We introduce a new parameter, nonuniformness, defined by the cumulative difference between its CDF and LCDF. We also propose the decision function of the dynamic range transform constant versus its nonuniformness, and compensate the quality of video automatically.

  • Lab effectively supplemented the effects of outside radiation on image plates in the process of image acquisition of CR (computed radiography) systems and conducted for effective utilization in the case of clinical application. For this, Lab classified the storage places and time periods of image plates and compared and analyzed the differences between small dark spots. Lab also assessed the concentration distribution within the boundaries of images. Lab compared and measured the number of dark spots in a light room and a dark room depending on the storage places of image plates and found that dark spots slightly increased in an image plate when stored in a light room on the first and second days. Dark spots increased in proportion to the length of time stored. In the case of the image plate stored in a dark room, the number of dark spots remarkably decreased. With regard to picture quality as related to the location of image plates, the damage to picture quality could be reduced by locating regions of interest in the center. With regard to differences in sharpness following changes in the thickness of subjects, fewer scatter rays occurred and sharpness improved by reducing the thickness of subjects as much as possible. To get medical images of excellent quality, image plates should be managed effectively and it is desirable to keep images plates in dark iron plate boxes and not to expose them to outside radiation for a long time.

  • For better picture quality in LCD TVs, it is important to reach a steady emitting state within as short a time as possible in the initial stage after the TV is turned on. The initial characteristics of LCD TVs are mainly determined by the properties of the backlight. In the present study, the photometric and spectroscopic properties of a 55-inch Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) backlights were investigated. The measured properties include time dependence of the spectrum, luminance, and color coordinates. The results show that the change in the spectroscopic properties of the LED backlight is smaller than that of the CCFL backlight. This indicates that the initial picture quality of the LCD TV with the LED backlight is superior to that with the CCFL backlight. The origins of this difference were discussed in relation to the inherent characteristics of the two light sources.

  • In this paper, We propose a titrate allocation method in which the bitrates of the videos for the lower layer are restricted by constant titrate, but those of the higher layer are assigned to have the uniform picture quality, for the multiplexing system of multiple spatial scalable video sources. We first find an approximated model of distortion-bitrate for the MPEG-2 spatial scalable video coding system, then we obtain the bitrate for each source to have constant distortion ratio among the sources by using the approximated model parameters for real-time simple implementation. It is shown by simulation that the proposed bandwidth allocation can keep almost constant picture Quality ratio among the sources of higher layer.

  • Real-time video communication applications over Internet should be able to support such functionality as scalability because of the unpredictable and varying channel bandwidth between server and client. To accommodatethe wide variety of channel bitrates, a new scalable coding tool, namely the Fine Granular Scalability (FGS) coding tool has been reduce the adopted In the MPEG-4 video standard. This paper presentsa new FGS algorithm with matching Pursuit that can reduce the computational complexity of ordinal matching pursuit-based algorithm. The Proposed coding algorithm can make trade-off between Picture Quality and computationalcomplexity. Our simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can reduce the computational cumplexity up to 1/5 compared to the conventional FGS method while retaining a similar picture quality.

  • This paper Introduces a new scanning method for network-adaptive scalable streaming video coding methodologies such as the MPEG-4 Fine Granular Scalable (FGS) Coding. Proposed scanning method can guarantee the subjectively improved picture quality of the region of the interest in the decoded video by managing the image information of that interested region to be encoded and transmitted most-preferentially, and also to be decoded most-preferentially. Proposed scanning method can lead the FGS coding method to achieve improved picture quality, in about 1dB ~ 3dB better, especially on the region of interest.

  • Even though digital video coding techniques have been developed very rapidly, rate controlling is still an unsolved problem. This paper presents a new scene adaptive video encoding scheme for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video encoders. Degradation of picture quality at scene changes due to poor prediction of global complexity measure is addressed. The proposed scheme determines the picture types adaptively based on scene contents of each video frame. The effective placement of reference and inter-reference frames is studied at sudden scene changes and gradual scene changes respectively. Results show that the proposed scheme demonstrates a significant improvement in performance compared to TM5〔1〕.

  • In this paper, we propose a motion picture processor for CSTN LCD. In order to eliminate flicker phenomenon, the proposed processor suggests a new driving scheme, SFP(Subgroup Frame Pattern). We use an input image compression methode from RGB(:8:8;8) to RGB(5:6:5) to improve quality of the image and apply the image to CSTN Module. The proposed hardware architecture has been implemented and verified using a FPGA on prototype board. The proposed Algorithm provide a lower computational complexity. Therefore the processor can be used in the display devices such as PDA, mobile phone and PMP(Portable Multimedia Player).

  • Most of digital media contents are composed with video and audio, picture and animation informations. Sometime, there is some deviation of information recognition quality for the video and audio information according to information receiver's characteristics or the understanding. But visual information using the text provide most clear and accurate ways for information recognition to human being. In this paper, we propose a new broadcasting system(BSDMC) to transmit clear and accurate meaning of the digital media contents. We implement general-purpose components to display the video, picture, text and symbol simultaneously. Only plug-in and call these components with proper parameters on the application developing tool, we can easily develop the multimedia contents broadcasting system. These components are implemented based on the object-oriented framework and modular structure so that increase the reusability and can be develop other applications quick and reliable.
