In this paper, we demonstrate inter-layer prediction tools for scalable video coders. The proposed scalable coder is designed to support not only spatial, quality and temporal scalabilities, but also view scalability. In addition, we propose quad-tree inter-layer prediction tools to improve coding efficiency at enhancement layers. The proposed inter-layer prediction tools generate texture prediction signal with exploiting texture, syntaxes, and residual information from a reference layer. Furthermore, the tools can be used with inter and intra prediction blocks within a large coding unit. The proposed framework guarantees the rate distortion performance for a base layer because it does not have any compulsion such as constraint intra prediction. According to experiments, the framework supports the spatial scalable functionality with about 18.6%, 18.5% and 25.2% overhead bits against to the single layer coding. The proposed inter-layer prediction tool in multi-loop decoding design framework enables to achieve coding gains of 14.0%, 5.1%, and 12.1% in BD-Bitrate at the enhancement layer, compared to a single layer HEVC for all-intra, low-delay, and random access cases, respectively. For the single-loop decoding design, the proposed quad-tree inter-layer prediction can achieve 14.0%, 3.7%, and 9.8% bit saving.

A wavelet-based image compression system allowing both lossless and lossy image compression is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm consists of the two stages. The first stage uses the wavelet packet transform and the quad-tree coding scheme for the lossy compression. In the second stage, the residue image taken between the original image and the lossy reconstruction image is coded for the lossless image compression by using the integer wavelet transform and the context based predictive technique with feedback error. The proposed wavelet-based algorithm, allowing an optional lossless reconstruction of a given image, transmits progressively image materials and chooses an appropriate wavelet filter in each stage. The lossy compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 1 dB PSNR performance of the high frequency image, compared to that of JPEG-2000 algorithm and that of S+P algorithm. In addition, the lossless compression result of the proposed algorithm improves up to the maximum 0.39 compression rates of the high frequency image, compared to that of the existing algorithm.

VVC(Versatile Video Coding)는 입력 YUV영상을 CTU(Coding Tree Unit)으로 분할하고, 다시 이를 QTBTTT(Quad Tree, Binary Tree, Ternery Tree)로 최적의 블록으로 분할하고 각각의 블록을 공간적, 시간적 정보를 이용하여 예측하고 예측블록과 원본블록의 차분신호를 변환, 양자화를 통해 전송한다. 이를 위해 여러가지 인코딩정보가 디코더에 전송되며 이를 이용하여 디코더는 인코더와 똑같은 순서로 영상을 복원 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 VVC 인코더에서 반드시 전송하는 정보를 추가적으로 이용하여 딥러닝 기반의 Convolutional Neural Netwrok로 영상의 압축률 및 화질개선 하는 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient block-based disparity estimation algorithm fur multiple view image coding in EE2 and EE3 in 3DAV. The proposed method emphasizes on visual quality improvement to satisfy the requirements for multiple view generation. Therefore, we perform an adaptive disparity estimation that constructs variable blocks by considering given image features. Examining neighboring features around desired block search range is set up to decrease complexity and additional information than only using quad-tree coding through applying binary-tree and quad-tree coding by taking into account stereo image feature having big disparity. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves PSNR about 1 to 2dB compared to existing other methods and decreases computational complexity up to maximum 68 percentages than FBMA.

This paper proposes a MOS circuit extractor which extracts a netlist from the hierarchical mask information, for the verification tools. To utilize the regularity and the simple representation of the hierarchical circuit, and to reduce the debug cycle of design, verification, and modification, we propose a hierarvhical and incremental circuit extraction algorithm. In flat circuit extraction stage, the multiple storage quad tree is used as an internal data structure. Incremental circuit extraction using the hierarchical structure is made possible, to reduce the re-extraction time of the modified circuit.

자율 이동로봇은 현재 각광을 받고 있는 서비스로봇의 연구와 더불어 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그 중 경로계획 부분에 대한 연구는 Roadmap Method, Cell Decomposition, Potential Field Method로 크게 구분하여 연구되고 있다. 그러나 경로계획 기법에 있어서 기존의 정형화된 방법 이외에 다른 방법들이 제시 되지 않고 있다. 기존 경로계측의 문제점들은 다음과 같다. 국부최소(local minimum)를 회피하지 못하거나, 많은 계산량으로 인해 넓은 범위에 적용시킬 수 없다는 문제점, 오프라인으로 경로의 최적성에만 치중하여 실시간으로 적용하기가 쉽지 않으며, 돌발적인 상황에 대처하기 어렵다는 문제점 등을 가지고 있다.(중략)

공간 조인을 위한 공간 색인은 단일할당 방식과 다중할당 방식으로 구분한다. 단일할당 공간색인은 하나의 공간색채를 단 하나의 노드에만 할당하고, 다중할당은 하나의 객체를 여러 노드에 할당하는 공간 색인으로서 R-tree 가 전자에 해당하고, Quad-tree가 후자에 해당한다. 지금까지 단일 할당과 다중 할당 공간 색인에서의 공간조인에 대한 직접적인 성능 비교 평가가 거의 없다. 왜냐하면 각 공간 색인의 구조가다르고 적용할 수 있는 공간 조인 기법 또한 전혀 달라 정확한 성능 평가가 매우 어렵기 때문이다. 그래서 이 논문에서는 고정 그리드 파일을 변형하여 다중 할당 공간 색인과 단일 할당 공간 색인을 각각 구성한 뒤 두 공간 색인의 병렬 공간 조인 성능을 평가하였다. 평가를 위해 4가지 병렬공간조인기법을 제안하였다. 그리고 태스크 할당을 위해 태스크의 크기와 객체의 공간 지역성을 이용한 준동적 태스크 할당 방법을 제안하였다. 실험은 MIMD 구조 및 공유디스크 방식의 병렬 시스템에서 수행되었고, 여과 단계 후 중복을 제거하는 다중할당-단일조인 방식이 우수함을 보였다.

Based on the study of Digital Elevation Simplification Model and fractal theory, this paper put forward a new method to simulate complex terrain. That use simplified DEM data to construct terrain frame based on the quad tree at first, and then use fractal to generate the details of every node of the tree. In the process of construction, the LOD theory is used to simplify the terrain and get its typical data. According to the change of view position and direction, the paper gives a new way to judge the visibility of the surface patch. Experimental results show that this algorithm is simple, efficient and supports the real time dynamic simulation of terrain model.

In this Paper, systematic quad-tree array method for easy composition is proposed, which is based on music cord. The appearance of the computer composition system, so called MIDI, expects that non-musicians can make musics easily, but, in fact. non-musicians still compose hard. This approach shows that a computer makes cord progress through a database, which in-putted all practicable cord progress. Experimental results showed that this method is superior to conventional method such as. composition time as well as that of method.
