In moving picture coding standard MPEG2, a bit rate control system plays a key role for the compressing ratio and picture quality. We proposed a bit rate control scheme which assigns more bits to I, P frames and uses the average MQUANT of previous mackoblocks. The proposed scheme showed about 0.9dB improvement of image quality when compared to bit rate control method of MPEG2 Test-Model5.

In this paper, we will provide an overview of the motion picture watermarking techniques. We will see previously proposed algorithms such as compressed domain watermarking, non-compressed domain watermarking and algorithms for realtime applications etc. We will see test results for signature embedding in motion picture. By spread spectrum method, we embed a signature in each frames. The quality of watermarked motion picture is measured by PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) about several strengths of watermark. In watermark detection the sign of the correlation sum is the estimated embedded signature bits. We will see different mean PSNR with visual shape of the detected signature.

The MPEG-2 Test Model 5 (TM5) algorithm is widely used for bit rate control. In TM5, however, the target number of bits and the number of actual coding bits for each picture do not match well. Therefore, buffer overflow and picture quality degradation may occur at the end of the GOP. In this paper, we propose a new bit rate control algorithm for matching the target and the actual coding bits based on accurate bit allocation. The key idea of the proposed algorithm is to determine quantization Parameters which enable us to generate the number of actual coding bits close to the target number of bits for each picture, while maintaining uniform picture quality and supporting real-time processing. The proposed algorithm exploits the relationship between the number of actual coding bits and the number of estimated bits of the previous macroblock.

A subjective video quality assessment methods are proposed based on CCIR Rec. 500-5 for an evaluation and testing of compressed video quality and performance of video codec to be designed in accordance with the MPEG-2 MP ML specification which is adapted as a DTV standard for Korea digital DBS. Video sequence compressed in compliance with MPEG-2 MP ML encoding parameterswastested by the proposed video quality evaluation procedure. Test sequence were compressed at the bit rate 6Mbps, 7.5Mbps and 9Mbps, repectively. Test results of the 7.5Mbps bitrate showed a satisfactory picture quality at about 4.0 on the 5.0 absolute scale of ITU-R 500-5.

In this paper, a new method for effective video coding is studied. Picture set filter is proposed for preserving compression ratio and video quality. This filter controls the compression ratio of each frame depending on the correlation to the reference frame by selectively eliminating less important high-resolution areas. Consequently, video quality can be preserved and bit rate can be controlled adaptively. In the simulation, to test the performance of the proposed coding method, comparisons with the full search block matching algorithm and the differential image coding algorithm are made. In the former case, video quality, compression ratio and encoding time is improved. In the latter case, video quality is degraded, but compression ratio and encoding time is improved. Consequently, the proposed method shows a reasonably good performance over existing ones.

Picture Quality Improvement Systems(PQIS) have been developed for user's needs with the development of display technology. Most PQIS change the all input data, so there were some color distortion. In order to compensate such problems, the PQIS using Skin Protection Algorithm(SPA) have been proposed. But the PQIS using SPA is performed simplex color emphasis, as a result occurred color saturation and decoloration. In this paper, we proposed the modified PQIS using SPA on CIE 1976 u'v' chromaticity coordinate. The modified method operated chromaticity extension and reduction at the same time about brightness value to prevent the saturation and decoloration. We evaluated by comparing the conventional method with the proposed method of RGB Gamut variation rate using 42 test image.

This paper introduces a cost-effective method fur improving anchor picture quality of a multiview video coding scheme that is mainly based on chroma compensation. Proposed method is applied to both INTER $16{\times}16$ and SKIP modes in only anchor P-pictures. By testing using JVT common test conditions, simulation results show that proposed method can obtain the average BD-PSNR gains fur U and V as 0.136 dB and 0.127 dB, respectively, while maintaining almost same performance for Y (luminance). For the range of low bit-rates, it is observed that average BD-PSNR gains of Y, U, and V are 0.141 dB, 0.494 dB and 0.525 dB, respectively. Necessary computational complexity is very marginal because the number of anchor P-pictures is only 4.18% in comparison with whole coded sequences, however it can be found that the proposed method can significantly improve the coding efficiencies of color components.

This study was designed to investigate the effective ratio of healthy bread wish green tea powder. The weight. volume, and colon difference of bread with various contents of green tea powder were measured. And the picture of bread and the panel test were taken. To avoid the decrease of volume, the experiment was taken with active gluten. The weight to bread was increased and the volume was decreased significantly according to increase of green tea powder ratio. But, the volume of the group with active gluten(3%+ and 4%+) was higher than that of the group with green tea powder 2%. That is which the correction of the volute was taken by active gluten in green tea powder bread. In the result of panel test and volume measurement. addition of 3% green tea powder was appropriate, and the addition of active gluten corrected the decrease of volume. Therefore. using the green tea powder, the diversity of bread by functionality, nutritional composition. taste, color. flavor of green tea powder can be developed. This result will support the background the development of green tea bread of good quality.

The International Organization for Standardization(ISO) has undertaken an effort to develop a standard for video and associated audio on digital storage media. This effort is known by the name of the expert group that started if : MPEG-Moving Picture Experts Group Is currently part of the ISO-I EC/J TC1/SC2/WG11. The promise of MPEG-2 is that a video signal and its associated audio can be compressed to a bit rate of about 10 Mbits/s with an acceptable quality. In this paper, the implementation of a video compression simulator based on MPEG-2 Video Test Model 2(TM2) is described and analyzed according to the simulation results. The implemented simulator is also applied to code HDTV sequences at the several bit rates. Some computer simulation results using the MPEG and the HDTV test sequences are given. In addition, some techniques which can improve the coding efficiency of the implemented video compression simulator are also suggested.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relations between phonetic differences among Korean learners' production of English front vowels, pronunciation intelligibility and speaking proficiency test score. To do so, thirty Korean university students were asked (1) to read English text book paragraphs and (2) describe a picture. Two English native raters and one Korean rater evaluated Korean subjects' English pronunciation intelligibility and speaking. In addition, subjects' English vowel productions were acoustically analyzed(F0, F1, F2, vowel duration, intensity). The results of the study show that the vowel quality and pitch of the unstressed vowels and lax vowel are related to the pronunciation intelligibility. In addition, the scores of pronunciation intelligibility and speaking are highly related.
